Foal Hooves / Foal Slippers
New born foals hooves are born with the eponychium and horn tubules of the hoof wall showing which wear away when the foal begins to move around. The eponychium is the covering that protects the mother from the foal`s hooves while in the womb. It forms a soft pad over the surface of the hoof and the moment it makes contact with the air it begins to dry out, go stringy and drop off. Below you can see a video of a new born foals hooves
