Where on Earth did he get it???

I was out in the yard with Gabe today, and he disappeared around the corner of the house for a few moments. He reappeared with an entire horse hoof in his mouth. I might not have been able to tell what it was right off the bat, but there was still a shoe attached to it.

I have no idea where such a thing would have come from.

All I can think is maybe there was a horse buried on the land I live on sometime before the 1960s (when the house was built)?

I know. Weird, right? He didn't want to let go of it, either. He really wanted that hoof.

Oh, God. Now I'm going to be worried about an angry ghost horse coming after my dog in the middle of the night.

Umm how old did it look? Was there still "stuff" inside it or just the hard shell with a shoe nailed to it??

That is super bizarre and kinda gross, have you had a look if he dug a hole anywhere?

BTW they love eating hoof, mine get so excited when the farrier shows up :D

I looked around and DID eventually find a hole. And it looked pretty old. The shoe was rusty.

A breeder we know bought land and built a house on what used to be horse grazing pasture. It's a nice large piece of property and was perfect for her kennel setup.

Her dogs are always finding hooves and stuff, bringing her ' gifts'. :eek:

(Apparently they buried the horses there as well, after they died.)
