The hooves I imagine were a combination of the hard, rocky ground and lack of care. The hooves grew out, flared and as they moved about the paddock and trod on stones etc it caused cracks. The flares pulled the cracks wider and higher.
So if I get this right, if one badly neglects their horse's feet in a dry, rocky place and one will tend to get feet like this. So then does slipper feet tend to be found in areas with softer or wetter climates?
