A weekend with Hoofprint:

October 17th, 1998


Well, here it is. The big update I promised everyone. Only trouble is, the cotton picking horse broke my rib on the first try! OUCH!!! We had just gotten started and the horse was standing on me with both front hooves. One on my stomach and the other on my thigh. When he suddenly decided to shift the hoof on my stomach to my lower right rib cage. There was a sickening crunch of my rib as he settled his weight there. Needless to say, I was finished! Anyhow, enjoy the pics we were able to get.



Here is the shot Casolai took just prior to Dover picking his other hoof up. As he stood on me with both feet, the darned camera was busy saving the photo to disk. By the time it had finished, Dover had cracked my rib. Resulting in me of course rolling him off of me.

Here is what the big fella looked like from the side. He weighed in at a cool fifteen hundred pounds. Heavy. Yes, very heavy! God he was good! :)

Here's a decent shot of Dover's front hooves. These rib killers are eight inches wide!

And finally here is a shot of the sole that's responsible for Hoof's broken rib. Kind of rough isn't it? But it felt oh so good!

I would like to give special thanks to Traufaz for providing the use of Dover. Without his help, this entire update may not have been possible.

I would also like to thank Casolai for performing as a wonderful photographer! Thanks Cas. :)
