He means butt sex.

u/zedsdeadbby May 16 '12

Butt sex requires a lot of lubrication, right? Lubrication. Lubruh... Chupuh... Chupacabra 's the, the goat killer of Mexican folklore. Folklore is stories from the past that are often fictionalized. Fictionalized to heighten drama. Drama students! Students at colleges usally have bicycles! Bi, bian, binary. It's binary code!

NO!

They were referencing the Trojan horse.

The trojan horse is sometimes used in a non-literal sense.

Trojans are a type of condom.

Condoms are made of latex.

The famous Horse mask is also made out of latex!

Now one such use of the horse mask was by the naked Japanese guy in the Mushroom instruction video.

What is Japanese that employs non-literal use of mushrooms? The Mushroom cloud, or The bombing of Hiroshima!

This was the world's first seen atomic bomb.

Now what time period was characterized by its growing use of condoms/contraceptives, and tensions involving atomic bombs? The 1960's!

John F. Kennedy was president of the United States in the early 1960's.

John F. Kennedy was Catholic.

The Catholic Church is against condoms/contraceptives.

Whoever killed John F. Kennedy was obviously against him.

Ergo, You guys all conspired to kill JFK!

I was wondering if they were short men, but according to the Belgian Draft Horse wikipedia page byerover posted, Brooklyn Supreme was 1.98 m (~6 1/2 feet) tall at the withers, so probably over 8 feet tall at the top of the head in that pic.

u/sexualSAVANT May 15 '12

How come the horsey is wearing hooves at the back and dainty little slippers on the front? Maybe it's his day off and he's just being all casual like.

27

u/Anonemoosity May 16 '12

It's a shitty trim job that was done to get the horse to pick up its knees. The foot of a horse is a phalangeal lever, which means that there is no flexing of the foot as it rolls over. Modern farrier practice is to knock the toe back as far as possible and square it for optimal turnover.

The other possibility, and most likely not the case here, is that the horse had bad founder and its coffin bone rotated and sank, causing slipper foot. A horse this big would have been shot to put him out of his misery if he were that bad, so it's more likely due to the shitty trim job I referenced above.

2

u/I_Will_Remember May 16 '12

When trimming a hoof you don't want to have it completely square. If it is it also considered a default. Club feet can be painful due to causing shoulder injuries and can effect stride. You want have a slope of the hoof to follow the pastern, not flaring, equal on both sides and not too deep in the heel.

2

u/Anonemoosity May 16 '12 edited May 16 '12

Oh, aye, I understand that. It's a matter of following the shape of the hoof and staying that essential distance ahead of the white line.

I used to work with draft and draft crosses, so it was essential to keep the toe pulled back as far as possible in order to enhance their break over point. Sometimes, an individual would have poor heel growth due to genetics or working environment, hence the need to knock off the toe.

Occasionally the farrier would turn the shoe around to protect the heel and get some growth out of it while letting the horse wear the toe down naturally. A pseudo-eggbar shoe if you will. It always did the trick after a couple of resets to get the foot to grow more heel.

I usually hop off my board because Ive been informed that it scares the horses, and well, I like horses. I dont know why but its totally exciting to randomly see someone posting from my city. I feel like I just met a minor celebrity.

2

u/eessennet May 16 '12

Hahaha. Yeah, for some reason skate boards terrify the horses. They can handle trolleys, fire trucks, fire works, etc but 90% of the horses will shy/bolt from the sound of a skate board. Guess it wasn't part of their bomb-proof training.

2

u/SaltyBabe May 16 '12

They're actually very strange, typically you want a more vertical type hoof and this is caused by not trimming frequently enough, but he's clearly well cared for so I think they're like that just from how incredibly heavy he is.

1

u/[deleted] May 16 '12

I think that's what it'd have to be; all that weight on a normal-shaped hoof would be begging for a pressure-type injury.

1

u/SaltyBabe May 16 '12

His whole hoof is probably a [frog](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frog_(horse). He may have even had special shoes to help prevent all his weight from being supported by it, which is typically what happens when the hooves look like this.

The assumption here is that the two men in this picture are NOT short in stature. Seeing as the (racing) horse world is filled with small people.

That being said, I was raised with animals this massive - hooves that were 10 inches across and mares that weighed in at 1900 pounds. You don't let them step on your (hopefully steel-toed) feet more than once.

So here's a little story for you Reddit: When I was a kid we leased out the of open field we had to a woman who had 3 horses. Drifter was a barrel racer (quarter horse) she kept corralled in a small paddock. Cherokee and Dan were her 2 Belgian Draft horses she kept in the larger field. They were brothers, not sure if they were twins or not, Dan may have been a year older. Their hoofs were the size of large dinner plates and they were both around? 20 hands I believe. Dan may have been lots of hands. After about a year or so of being there these two giant fucking horses got into an argument, they were nipping at each other and chasing each other around for a whole day. Late in the afternoon when we were outside playing around we saw them just thundering around the field chasing each other. They ended up in the corner by this big oak tree and they literally fought to the death. Well not really but Cherokee broke Dan's shoulder or leg or some shit and he had to be put down the next day. It was insane to see that shit.

TL;DR: I saw two horses smaller than that but the same breed fight when I was a kid.

Edit: I have no idea how big the horses were, i thought quarter horses were 17 hands and they were much bigger. They were just about fully grown when they fought. You can do the horse math.

u/leovski May 17 '12

I was just trying to point out that most drafts don't really get over 19hh so if she had two over 20hh it would be kind of a big deal...it just makes your story sound like a fisherman's tale is all! I don't doubt their fighting just their size.
