[soph21]

One of my teachers at school had an elephants leg brolly stand. Made me feel sick every time I had to go into his office. Which was quite alot!!

 

[Christmas Crumpet]

I've kept my old horses's feet after he was pts last year. Not sure what I'm going to do with them yet but I wanted to keep them as a reminder of him.

 

[pinktiger]

omg thats horrid!!

 

[kerilli]

i've seen things like that, i hate them personally. can't stand taxidermy in any form, wouldn't have it in the house. i knew of a top rider who had her top horse's hoof done like that after she lost him to colic.

 

[Madam_max]

Eugh!!!! How vile.

 

[minmax]

I kept a lock of tail hair from my mare, wouldn't want anything that was fleshy tho. yuk.

Just looked on google and i can understand why it would make you feel sick!

 

[wowser]

friends parent had a horses hoof about 25 years ago i always thought it was weird

'I kept a lock of tail hair from my mare, wouldn't want anything that was fleshy tho. yuk'

Yes I did that too, but I wouldn't want a hoof personally

When I was vet nursing at the equine hospital, we would encourage owners to keep mane, tail, shoes... but anything else we generally considered wrong!

 

[DreamerII]

Urgh yuck that's not nice (and I don't like the principal of it either...with the implied hunting link.....I know sorry but yeah....don't wanna spark debate, just my opinion!)

I have got a lock of hair from one of my fave ponies at an old yard that got PTS though...and a horse shoe from a really old calvalry horse that I was with when he had to be PTS when I worked at the horse sanctuary (he was 21 and apparently had been the head hrose at Diana's funeral parade or something of the like!) He was special!

 

[Paddywhack]

eeeeeeewwwwwwwwwww I got my animals cremated and in boxes and that can be creepy for some but I would/could not even touch a hoof like that

 

[SAL66]

Its totally gross, and how much???.

I think it would turn most horse lovers stomach, if some one was to buy it for them.

Any thing like this i simply don't understand what there is to like about it- yuck!

 

[muffinino]

The Brigade of Guards have the hoof of Marengo, Napoleon's arab charger, on a dinner table! He was captured by the British at Waterloo and put to stud (had a much more favourable ending than his owner) and when he died at the age of 38 his skeleton was put on display in the National Army Museum in Chelsea.

 

[Shilasdair]

Right, I own three horses so here's the maths;
3 x 4 = 12
12 x £3250 = £39000

If you are interested in a freshly produced horse's hoof snuff box, do PM me.

It's a bit rank isn't it- doesn't even look particularly stylish or practical.

Our local ancient farrier used to collect hooves/lower legs in different stages of interesting ailements. He used to do talks explaining them if you begged him, fascinating stuff, but I doubt he had any lovingly mounted and silver plated!

 

[Lordy100]

My farrier wants my horses front legs when he goes, if you saw his front legs you would know why!

Why?

 

[Lordy100]

They are not quite the same, well if you went to buy him you would walk away. One relatively normal, one contracted tendon, boxy hoof, slightly rotated pedal bone and ringbone. But...... as long as he stays sound that's ok with me.

Kept some tail from my old boy that was over 20years ago and have still got it in a plastic envelope, look at it know and again and it brings back very happy memories.

I miss him even know
