Hiya, I’ve been pondering this thought, but if a centaur had cloven hooves, like deer or oxen, how would the shoes and stuff work? I wanna make a centaur oc and love the idea of cloven hooves
there is actually a horseshoe equivalent for cloven hooves that was (and still is very rarely?) used primarily for oxen!
They come in a pair to allow the foot to spread as it should but otherwise is like a horseshoe!
That said, most cloven hooved animals don’t need to be shod unless they are being used as draft animals like the oxen often used to be, and a tiny hoof like a deer’s hoof likely wouldn’t have the thickness needed to nail in a shoe, so some other solution would be needed!
But if you’re looking to add a heft to the kick of you cow-taur, look up oxen shoes!
That’s very cool! I’ll bet something along those lines would work for goats too, if you need a stylish satyr or whatnot.
Hey there darling, is your hoofwall too thin to carry an iron shoe? Have you had surgery and need something more soft and gentle for your foot to stand in? Or are you an avid climber and need something that offers greater flexibility and grip than an iron shoe can offer?
I got the right thing for you right here, and it comes in different colours, sizes and materials, some are even adjustable in a way that makes it easier to wear when you regrow the horn of your hoof, or you need to keep pressure away from a cut out sore…
And we also got you covered on all your glizzy, glamorous needs
Or just for being at home and comfy
Cloven hooves, shoes that go over the little tosies higher up your leg, we got it all and will do it with your special measurements.
Flexible, so your hoof can adjust instead of being kept in a fixed position like it would be with an iron shoe, but firm enough to give you the support you deserve. Touch grass, in a different way. Your way.
