Generally speaking, horses should not shave their hooves too long, usually every month to a month and a half, while young foals have to shave their hooves once a month because of their hooves.

The three-year-old Metal Slug, which is equivalent in age to a human, is already a physically mature person, because the normal age of a horse is between 20 and 30 years.

Three years old is just a small and short childhood for people.

However, this age is a very important watershed for horses, especially sport horses, and it is generally the age when horses are racing at the fastest speed, that is, at the peak of their careers.

This is also the reason why speed racing is held in age groups, and in many cases only 2-year-olds, 3-year-olds and 4-year-olds are held.

In the final analysis, horse fans who watch speed racing mainly look at the speed of the horses, and what they want to see is the speed competition of the horses at the peak of their limits, and the speed limit of how many seconds they sprint, just like human track and field running races.

The last time he shaved the hooves of the Metal Slug was Ma Kun, so Ma Kun still knew about its habits when cutting its hooves, so while Robert was observing the Metal Slug hooves, Ma Kun was also giving some advice.

"Professor, the leather of the Metal Slug is harder than that of a normal horse, so the force is a little greater." Through Fu Jun's translation, Ma Kun, who controls the horse's head, briefly told Robert the key points to pay attention to when cutting hooves.

"Okay! I know. The experienced Robert, who was not fluent in Chinese, replied, already had in mind how to cut the hooves of the metal slug and trim the parts and weights of the horseshoe.

When Fu Jun heard Ma Kun's words, he thought of something, and said with a smile: "It turns out that the hooves of the metal slug are so durable!" ”

Before the others could understand Fu Jun's pun, the metal slug had already hissed loudly on its own.

"Fu Jun, you inhuman thing, you insult a horse? Didn't you know that horses are loyal friends of man? Are you still an individual? Is it really a beast? ”

Obviously, being made such a joke in front of so many people by Fu Jun was unforgivable for the always arrogant Metal Slug, so it continued to hissed angrily to express the anger in its heart.

It's just that Fu Jun is extremely thick-skinned and is not moved at all.

Besides, let Fu Jun and a horse be angry, it is obviously his little family!

Besides, in Fu Jun's opinion, he is inferior to a beast in his own right, after all, as a human being, he will never be able to outrun the metal slug, which is a beast and a horse that is itself a beast, right?

At this time, the angry hiss of the metal slug was in vain.

Because except for Fu Jun, no one else present could understand the horse's language, so no matter how the metal slug called, they didn't know what it was saying.

For the others present, they heard the screeching of the metal slug, and they only thought that it was a rebellion because it was slashed and uneasy, but how could they know that it was because it was humiliated by Fu Jun's words in front of so many people, and they went crazy with anger?

"Strange! This time the metal slug shaved its hooves, why did it react so violently? It stands to reason that it has been shaved many times, and it should know the benefits to it after shaving its hooves, so why did it suddenly resist so much? It's weird! Ma Kun, who had been controlling the horse's head, was puzzled by the sudden and violent reaction of the alloy slug, intuitively he felt as if something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong.

"Probably because Professor Robert personally did the surgery this time, the metal slug is very excited, right? After all, it should be excited to have an authoritative sports equine doctor like Professor Robert in charge of it. Fu Jun said with a smile in his heart, and while patting Robert's ass, his face pretended to be sincere.

Fu Jun thinks that if he can participate in the Oscar competition for this part of his performance, he can at least win a little golden man, right?

Others couldn't guess the truth of Fu Jun's words, but since it was Professor Robert's ass, naturally no one dared to question it, even Wang Tiezhu, a person who had nothing to do with the medical team, did not refute Fu Jun's words.

In the final analysis, the shadow of a man, the bark of a tree, and Robert can have such a great authoritative reputation, of course, it is not something that any of them can question, even in this situation where they know that Fu Jun may be deliberately patting on the back.

In the stables, all of a sudden, no one made a sound, only the still unbroken neighing of the metal slug.

"I'm not excited by Robert's old man at all, I'm scolding Fu Jun! Scold Fu Jun! Why are you so stupid! Stupid human ......"

However, no matter how much the Metal Slug hissed and shouted, no one paid any attention to it.

Seeing this, Fu Jun laughed secretly in his heart, Metal Slug, you shout, you shout to break your throat, and no one can listen to it!

couldn't help but feel that sometimes, knowing more than one language is also infinitely useful, and the alloy slug fighting with him is destined to hit the stone with an egg, and he can't help himself.

Soon, when it was time to trim the horses' hooves, Robert first had to cut off the excessively long hoof walls around the hooves, and he formed the hoof walls at the appropriate angle to the ground, the angle of the hind hooves was about 50 to 55 °C, and the front hooves to be replaced afterwards were between 45 and 50 °C.

Then, Robert cut the negative side of the horse's hooves until the white line was exposed, then cut off the necrotic tissue of the bottom of the horse's hooves and the hoof forks, and cut the middle and side grooves of the hoof forks into obvious grooves, leaving only the hoof branches intact, and finally, completely smoothing the bottom of the hooves.

After all, how to control the depth of the cuticle part while ensuring that it does not irritate the horse and make the horse go crazy requires experience.

And now Fu Jun, the difference is this kind of experience accumulation, but the accumulation of experience, which requires the number of horses to guarantee, but Shanyang's equestrian club, only a few clubs, including Wenhuai Lake, can reach the number of horses that can accumulate experience for Fu Jun, so this is also the reason why Fu Jun came to apply for the job as soon as he heard that Wenhuai Lake was recruiting.

After the Metal Slug finished shaving his left hind hoof, Robert quickly put away his tools, and then quickly left, walking to the side of the clearing.

At the same time, when Robert moved, he shouted loudly in Chinese: "I'm fine!" ”

Hearing this, Wang Tiehammer, who had been clamping the left hind hoof of the alloy slug with his legs, immediately shouted loudly outside: "People outside, quickly send the horseshoe in order!" ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a sound of footsteps, and I saw that the bodyguard who had been arranged by Wang Tiehammer to deliver the horseshoe from outside was holding a large iron clip, and carefully brought a piece of horseshoes that had been a little red into the stable.

Originally, it stands to reason that it is best to change the horseshoe and install it in the open space outside, close to the heating stove, because it saves time and reduces the probability of accidents during the heating and transportation of the horseshoe.

However, because of the laminitis of the Metal Slug, it is best not to exercise and walk, so it can only be carried out in the stable, fortunately, as the head horse of the Wenhuai Lake Equestrian Club, the separate stable of the Metal Slug is very large, which is completely enough to change the hooves.
