Okay I can't believe this but I know it to be true. Has anyone seen a horses hoof start to grow around a shoe?

Its true I read a story in a magazine and the guy saved this horse from a neglected pasture. It was in general fair health. But had just been out to pasture for a long time.

And the man never seen it out, not rode in years. So he went up and asked and the horse was acquired for a 100 bucks. Got it home and went to trim the hoofs as he thought it was just shoeless..

Nope the shoes had been buried inside the horn! lucky it didn't change the angle of the pastern! I couldn't believe but you get stories of different nature all the time.

take care everyone.

I can believe it. I guess the shoe was just really suck on there and the hoof had no other choice to but to grow over it! How sad! Good thing that person came when he did and took care of the horse!

Sometimes there are such extreme circumstances that the animals are the one who get the bad end of the stick.

It was a good thing that person came by and noticed the horse, sometimes you see a horse in pasture and thing he is in heaven.

it is always good to be watchful neighbors and to know what is going on even when there is a good grip of land between you.

Glad the horse is okay now.
