Obstetrics of eight-legged horse: interesting one. :) Normally a horse comes out with his muzzle and front two feet, and the rest of the body and feet slide along.
If there are four front feet, then I wonder if he needs to have two front feet on each side of his nose.
Or does he bend the next pair of legs back to slide out after?

Maybe the foal is born much earlier and the mare has a pouch.

The mare is actually Loki in this instance, so anything's possible. :)

This is one of those cases where it really, really pays to be a shapeshifter. (tangent: Skrulls don't have obstetricians, becasue there's no need?)

Hooves in a pouch-- ouch!

[nancylebov.livejournal.com]

Um, the hooves don't really harden until the foal is ready to leave the pouch?

[eglantine-br.livejournal.com]

Ok. Makes sense.

[eglantine-br.livejournal.com]

Yes-- I was wondering about that. Hard to imagine the little nose with four feet around it.

Eight-legged horse: outcome of dispute with a cowboy builder. We've all been there...
