WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT THIS HES BECOMING LONELY AN I DONT WANT GET RID OFF HIM
AnswerFirst off have you had this farrier before and is she/he trustworthy? Could they of done something to the mini? Maybe something is wrong with its feet now and it is misbehaving. I would recommend going back to the basics and starting to regain his trust. Unfortunately something must of happened that possibly like shocked him and you have to work slowly. I hope this helps and keep me posted on how things go.
