 The SF Site Featured Review: Cloven Hooves
Read a hundred pages into Cloven Hooves and you'd be convinced you were reading a very conventional, if well-written, mainstream novel: an everyday story of a woman, Evelyn, and her odyssey from an unfettered and imaginative childhood in rural Alaska to a crumbling marriage among her husband's family in Washington State.
Perhaps part of the reason the author recast herself as Robin Hobb is that she had worked out her demons as Megan Lindholm, and needed to move on.
On the other hand, Cloven Hooves was free of the typos frequently encountered in another current series of fantasy classics reprints being published in England.

 Trimming Your Horse's Hooves
The first thing to remember when thinking about trimming your horse's hooves yourself is to hire a farrier to do it first and allow you to learn more fully, or take a class or two in it.
Before beginning, your horse should already be at the stage where you can comfortably, and safely, lift all his feet and hold them, or put them between your knees as a farrier does.
By this point you should already have learned the correct length your horse's hooves should be after trimming, so using that knowledge, use the nippers to begin to trim just the toe of the hoof.

 Horse Hoof Care: Shoes on Too Long - Dry, Brittle Hooves by Cherry Hill
When shoes are left on a horse's hooves too long, the shoes become loose and often pull off large hunks of the too-long hoof when the shoes finally do come off.
When a horse's shoes are pulled and the hooves are left unshod, the hooves generally break around the edges up to some extent, especially where weakened by the nail holes, until the hoof tissues can adapt to being barefoot.
Often, hooves will crack not because they are too dry, but because they have been too wet.

However, Pierson’s puppeteer has “clawed hooves” (described in “Ringworld” by Niven, 1970) rather than feet with five digits and metacarpals as seen in normal humans.
For the most part, the hooves of the puppeteer develop in the same way as a normal horse, and because of this fact, the hooves may have developed due to functionality.
There is however a distinction between the hooves of the puppeteer and the hooves of a horse, that being the “claws” which are characteristic of the puppeteer.
