Having overgrown hooves can be really problematic for horses. They feel great discomfort while walking, they can’t run freely, and the issue can lead to other health problems. This is why it isn’t surprising that Stella, a pony rescued by a farmer and TikToker Julia Cesario, was so happy when her overgrown hooves got a proper makeover.
Back in 2022, Cesario rescued Stella after the pony’s owners, an elderly couple, couldn’t take care of her anymore. Stella arrived at Cesario’s Springwater, Ontario, farm with overgrown hooves that were causing her trouble.
After allowing Stella to get accustomed to her new surroundings, Cesario arranged for her hooves to get trimmed. The pony had to be sedated, but the procedure ended up being a resounding success.
The time she spent with overgrown hooves didn’t leave any deformities, and Stella was soon able to freely walks and run.
Cesario recently shared a new update about Stella, and it is as satisfying as it gets. After being scared and cautious towards strangers at first, she now got fully accustomed to her new life at the farm. She even lets her hooves get done without causing any fuss.
