The awesome TOMMY TURVEY and his expert horse training. The more I see the more amazed I am at his relationship with his horses. I would never expect anyone to do this with their horse… Thanks for the show!

Aspiring super-villain Dr. Horrible (Neil Patrick Harris) wants to join the Evil League of Evil and win the girl of his dreams, but his nemesis, Captain Hammer (Nathan Fillion), stops him at every turn in this complete three-part musical from Joss Whedon

EPIC BEGINS

Seattle artist Kim Graham made herself a pair of horsey legs, and now she’s making more to sell. They’ll cost you about $1000 with the optional spring loaded hooves.

So with the “King’s Horses” that I have, I look at the walk everyday, and now I see how this was done. Looks super cool to me. Now I wonder how fast you could run in these legs, and how big a header you’d take if you fell down. Also I wonder what kind of impact absorber is at the base of the “Hoof” here. I’d expect also a non-slip hoof base. The bottom of a horse’s foot has a frog “V” in the bottom that pumps blood thru the foot and also the hoof is flexible. It is not a rock hard thing and it isn’t a rubber like foot either on a real horse. So now I am interested in how she designed the hoof on her Horsey Legs. Also I wish her good luck, but $1000 is way too much for me, but for custom work it could well be worth it. I hope the build quality is worth everything you pay for here.

Of course you could just build your own!
