來自英國Somerset 牧場的Jerry 有著不平常的馬蹄,它走在哪里都好像踩著一雙阿拉丁神燈式的靴子。這種馬蹄,總讓我感覺它的腳很容易被崴了。兩年沒有修剪,馬的主人你也太“疏忽”了吧?
長期以來,對于杰瑞來說,讓自己乘風飛奔,鬢毛飛揚,就是一個夢。
Overfed and neglected, the poor horse had piled on 20 stone and could barely walk.
過度供給食物和疏于關心,這匹可憐的馬,腳上已經(jīng)累積了20石的重量,連正常走路都成了問題。
And to make matters worse, his hooves had become so overgrown, they looked like Aladdin’s slippers.
更糟糕的是,這匹馬的馬蹄過度生長,看起來就像一雙阿拉丁神燈式的靴子。
Jerry was eventually rescued from a farm in Somerset, where he had been living with a herd of cows.
杰瑞最終從Somerset一個農(nóng)場中獲得了解救,在那里它曾經(jīng)和一群牛一起“生活”。
His hooves, which should have been trimmed every six to eight weeks, had been left for over two years.
它的馬蹄本應該6到8個周修改一次,可是它的馬蹄已經(jīng)有兩年沒有修剪過了。
‘Jerry's hooves measured 12 inches from heel to toe, and were turned up like Aladdin's slippers,’ said Joanne Vaughn, of HorseWorld, an equine rehabilitation centre.
來自HorseWorld(一家救助馬的中心)的喬安妮說:“杰瑞的馬蹄,從后跟到趾頭有12英才長,看起來就像阿拉丁神燈式的靴子?!?/div>
‘Although our expert farrier managed to trim the vast majority of hoof back quite quickly, it will take a long time and specialist trimming for his hooves to become the right shape again.’
“盡管我們的馬醫(yī)努力盡快修剪馬后蹄的大部分,還是需要很長的時間和專業(yè)的修剪才能讓它的馬蹄重新變成正常的樣子。”
不過,現(xiàn)在Jerry 已經(jīng)完全“康復”了。在動物救助組織的幫助下,他們修建了這個馬蹄讓它變成了一匹普通的馬,走路也更加輕盈了。據(jù)說在修建康復的6個月內(nèi),Jerry 都必須每天服用止痛藥(take painkillers)來適應自己的“新蹄子”。

美到不敢呼吸,美到令人窒息,控制不住的想要停下心跳,生怕輕輕的挑動打破了蝕骨銷魂的聲音。仿佛調(diào)動出了心里最柔軟的那個部分,傷感不洶涌,但卻蔓延到眼角。
