A very worrying picture....

[DragonSlayer]

Just seen this on FB....

Words fail me to be honest, and the usual numpties on FB are OK with it....

I hope someone will pop up and say it's photoshopped. Horse or people could've been killed if real :/

 

[FfionWinnie]

I think it's a fake.

 

[Moomin1]

Believe me, this is not unheard of! Horrendous!

 

[DragonSlayer]

I think it's a fake.

I do hope so!

 

[Sparkly Snowdrop]

WTF???? Surely not?

 

[NiceChristmasBaubles]

That must be some kind of joke (not funny in my book, but hey ho ).

 

[Vanner]

oh sweet jesus ......

 

[HarlequinSeren]

The link is just taking me to my news feed on my phone, what is it?

 

[PandorasJar]

I like to think so ffion but have seen not too dissimilar done and was real. Even if fake doesn't look obviously photoshopped so they'd have to have the chainsaw held behind the hoof still. One of them can still do a fair amount of damage off if the horse boots out.
Anyone good at Photoshop and can see if it is?!

 

[Goldenstar]

Surely not real......

 

[FfionWinnie]

Worth sending it to the WCF who may recognise the logo one is wearing. It's not professional even if its a joke. Assume they are in the UK. (Extension cable looks UK)

Doubt if it's UK - the horse is a docked draught type.

 

[Ibblebibble]

WTF surely to god that can't be real

 

[popeyesno1fan]

If that photo is real, god love that poor horse. Unfortunately, nothing surprizes me these days.

 

[Dressagedreaming]

Just downloaded it and checked in my photoshop and it's not a fake, you can even see the flecks of hoof coming off from the chainsaw!!! There's a video on YouTube with a guy using an angle grinder

[FfionWinnie]

A chain saw is a bit more dangerous than an angle grinder!!

 

[Girlychu]

Good Lord...had to do a double take...

 

[Fools Motto]

Doesn't surprise me...
But I would be surprised if indeed it is in the UK.

 

[TbLover]

how long does it take that a hoof looks like this, doesn't matter if photo or video

I never saw that in that condition before, horrible

 

[Amaranta]

This is actually worse than that stupid woman with the angle grinder

 

[Springy]

Yes I saw this told them to report it to the farriers council

morons!!!

 

[showley1]

omg how awful, hopefully fake, but why the hell is there over 150 likes?????

 

[holeymoley]

I can't see it. Watched the video though

 

[Tai.Ni.Po.Ni]

Can someone repost the pic ? It's just taking me to my home fb page :/

 

[fburton]

Spanish practices? (Farriery is usually carried out there by pairs of men.)

 

[Ambers mum]

That's scary.

On another note how bloody good is that horse? Mine would not be standing there with that going on behind them...

 

[Ashgrove]

 

[holeymoley]

Good grief! How bloody dangerous

 

[misterjinglejay]

Wasn't there a thread here about similar practices on heavy horses a few months ago?
