Max gets new front feet

The more I work with Max, the palomino, the more I like him. Of the 5, he's one of the ones that seems to take things in stride the best. Aaron is pretty good too, but the others are still a bit wary of what I'm doing to them. Matt of course is further along in some things due to him being here for a while, but he still has his moments. They're yearlings. Moments are expected.
Anyhow, I brought them in for their morning oats and started brushing Max. He just stands there. Loves the attention. After he was done eating I backed him out of the tie stall and tied him to a stall panel.
We did a few minutes of picking up front feet, then I went and got a hoof pick and nippers. He let me trim both front feet with no problems. They aren't a professional looking job, but they are better than what he had. Now to work on the hinds.
