    William, I think you should have taken a little more toe off.

    Hacksaw and cut it right back in one sweep. Level the base and put that pony back to work....

    my 2 cents worth ;)

    I had an elf pony about a month ago. I followed Reillyshoe's advice and trimmed a bunch with a grinder. Worked great, the pony didn't care, and it took me less time-which was better for both of us.

    It looked like Gary Warners BURRKING, We shipped the pony to a location with 3phase electric, anesthetized the pony in a sling, then raised the pony so that I could hold the feet up to the Grinder. We then shipped the pony in the sling to a wake-up pool. The operation was very efficient.

    Although, if you were really in a pinch you could go with the hacksaw.

    That's what I did Bruce, but the pony probably won't work for awhile. The rescue people have control of it .
