Do NOT Trim Your Horse’s Feathers! #goodtoknow #vet #medicine #educational #funfacts #lifehacks

Who said I have a horse?

Federers is a horse a bird or a warm blood

Don't tell me what to do kid

Yeah, because rain doesn't get all over the ground.....

drains it off the hoof so that it goes onto the ground which then spreads onto the hoof?

And yet people cut their foreskin

Please trim them

I will stop trimming feathers at the bottom of my horses leg😔🙏

So all the ones that didn't have this adaptation died from infected feet? Or at least were pess successful in nature?

I believe horses don't have feathers they have hair

I feel like I've been handed forbidden knowledge with the feather thing...

Drains it away so it can stand in it instead

Bro grew something useful and said “whew…Not doing that again!” 😭😭

Sometimes it is essential to have to clip the horses feathers because sometimes if you do not click them and mud sits on them for a little too long they could get muds scold😮

This only applies if your horse stays outside permanently and isn't used for sports. Outside of that you're perfectly fine to trim it.

people always shave them off for some reason.. specifically on a lot of show horses, i get it if they have mites or something but.. i don’t see why else. I like the look of them.

Ну вообще-то стричь лучше. Особенно если лошадь много гуляет. Скопление влаги и грязи в щётках приводит к появлению проблем. К примеру потёртости и мокрецы. У лошадей изначально почти нет щёток. Это человек их вывел с густыми щётками. Так что щётки не являются чем-то естесственным.

sml feathers 😊

What’s the worst that could happen? A broken le-

Actually, on draft horses like Shires or Clydesdales, you should trim the feathering if you have muddy parts in the pasture. Mud can cake on and trap moisture and bacteria against the skin and this causes mud fever, baterial or fungal infections
