wait- what? His hooves in the video with his breeder looked the same as when he was rescued. What did I miss?
The whole time he was hidden under the tarp, someone must have been trimming his feet. They don’t look like a horse that’s been standing still for a long time.
Ahhhh. I gotcha.
Looks like the nutjob who tortured him cared about his feet. Damned that doesn’t make sense.
Perhaps his hooves just didn’t grow due to malnutrition?
I am very glad his breeder was able to go visit with him. I can’t imagine how badly he feels right now.
That is possible, but the number of half staved horses I’ve seen pictures of with horrible long hooves makes me wonder.
This was my assumption.
He was not walking around, which encourages hoof growth. He was not being fed.
It is not like his feet look good.
Glad they decided not to move him just yet. That had to be heart wrenching for his breeder to see him like that. I hope it brought Asombro some comfort.
No, but after a year I would expect… elf slippers, rings, no feet… something other than slightly long feet.
I imagine the undersides were putrid though.
He’s looking better, more mobile & steadier on his feet.

Look how strong he is getting!
Heart warming isn’t it!
They were probably trimming the feet themselves. “caring for him properly.” Monica Thors 2.0 shudder
And they definitely had unqualified peeps blanketing him.
I just have to say, every time I see you post it gives me pause, thinking “did I write that and not remember”? Then I look closer LOL
But yes - Monica Thors came to mind for me as well. Such a bizarre thing for people to do.
haha me too!
I followed that mess (being extremely polite here), I wonder if this is a cousin.
New video today showing just how disgustingly poor he is from behind. I am absolutely struggling to believe this is a rising 3yo.
The rescue are doing a marvellous job with him.
The abuser clearly started starving him pretty much immediately after they bought him…
He moves like he has no idea how to move, which would make sense. But darn he is trying.
His front legs freak me out more than the hinds. Poor guy.
