Neddy needed new shoes --

-- but the farrier wouldn't come.
Silly Saturday I think.
We have had this model about forty years, harnessed to the first model horse drawn vehicle that I ever made. He was beginning to show his age, the paint around the hooves getting a bit chipped and the harness a bit scruffy.
Today saw the start of a bit of a makeover, paintwork touched up and new felt shoes. Tomorrow I'll start on the harness, it won't be quick, a lot of the leather will need replacing.
