Horse feet are so strange. Actually, horse fingers and toes. Most of what you can the horse "leg" is what would be your finger.
With a big beefy nail that looks like horror when born, and smashes and rubs into place in their first day.
If they don't give you nightmares, you don't understand how they work.
Yes! I spent 20 ~~months~~ uh, just minutes looking for a variation on this exact image! Thank you!
I posted the artist name as a top level comment.
skittering around on your fingertips
what a vile existence, I cannot stop imaging it
Horses know how the world works, that's why they're always giving it the middle finger.
Wait, what? Please tell me more about this horror nail, I had no idea
When they're born, they're called foal slippers.

But just in general, horse hooves are amazing and so weird. It's literally if your middle finger was half your leg, and the nail was a huge wraparound thing. Then plus you grew extra keratin on your fingertip like a mega callus from birth. Because why not?

TIL that horses start off as nightmare-shod animals D:
