Can we talk about the day I trimmed 45 horses in a row?

I was working a big ranch event in Cheyenne and just kept going without a real break. When I tallied it up at the end, I had done 45 trims in one stretch, which is way over my usual 25. Has anyone else pushed past their normal limit and felt it the next day?

My buddy did 30 once and missed a bad crack, horse went lame.

But is that even safe for the horses? Sounds like a recipe for sloppy work when you're that tired.

Totally agree, it's a huge safety issue. Tired people make mistakes with equipment and miss signs a horse is stressed. Seen it happen before and it never ends well.
