Feathers?

[Psycho0912]

Hi,

Sometimes I see people talking about their horses having 'feathers'. But what are these? I know birds have feathers but I don't think that's the same at this game haha

Oh I found the answer after doing some research b looking at the differences between horses with and without feathers. In my country they call them 'sokken' (socks in English). so very different from this language :')

In my country we call them hoof-beards. I didn't even realize how odd it sounds until I read this thread

In German the word's Gefieder. Sounds pretty weird to me, even if I am half German.

'Gefieder' sounds something like 'geveerd' (Dutch, feathered in English). Some German words look or are pronounced almost the same as in Dutch, so for me Gefieder isn't very weird.

hoof-beards sounds like little beards at the hooves
