youd think horses were one of those animals that has horrible health due to humans breeding unhealthy animals to achieve a certain look but no they really are just naturally that fucked up

horses’ lungs bleed when they run at a certain speed

if their diet is too rich / low in selenium their hooves fall off

excuse me

The reason they have such poor health outcomes after breaking or otherwise injuring their legs is because their legs are actually hyper-specialized fingers; and as in human fingers, there is very little muscle supporting the bone, just a lot of cartilage and tendons and whatnot. You’d think an animal that literally evolved to run away to avoid being eaten would have ALSO evolved sturdier running appendages, but…

I fucking hate this post, it’s 1 AM I don’t want to know that horse legs are giant fucking fingers

Also if temperatures fluctuate too intensely and rapidly, it fucks up their digestive track and since they can’t throw up they basically just die instead

zendaya at the met gala makes me feel like i’m a princess of the crown in the 1400s and she’s one of the nights in my guard sworn to protect me and we’ve grown up together and secretly fallen in love but our romance is forbidden because i’ve been betrothed to a prince from a far off kingdom and we can only confess our love to each other in the royal garden by the light of the moon or in dark stone passage ways by candlelight
