glumshoe:barefoothooves:Okay I also meant to post these 100 years ago and just remembered. This horse is a polydactyl on ALL FOUR feet which is the coolest thing ever, and I think about him at least once a day. Polydactyly in horses originates from one of the splint bones, which are remnants of toes from the ancestors of our modern horses. It typically does not bother them, so long as the extra hooves are trimmed, although sometimes they interfere with the other legs. Most often they are surgically removed when the horse is a foal for aesthetic reasons. Not this cool little guy though! Source is Vanessa Vandevraye on Facebook.
