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

    Hacksaw on that would be very handy.

    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 .
