Comments on: Leg extensions turn humans into horses

Ever envied equine grace? Artist Kim Graham says her Digitigrade Leg Extensions "give a person the uncanny and graceful appearance of an animal."

Great... yet another toy for furries everywhere to be creepily attracted to.

WHY???!!!!

[dqkennard]

While these might be OK if you're looking for the hoofed look, I think if I were looking for something to give me increased the increased speed and jumping ability of a hoofed animal, I'd go for a product actually designed for function, such as seen at http://www.getjumpingstilts.com/index.html and many other places around the web. Maybe one of those could even be wrapped to look furry and hoofed.

WHY?

What a waste of... everything.

I want my pic of a Cosplayer dressed as a Draenei...

Actually I saw this same thing about 5 years ago at a furry convention in Connecticut, but from another maker. And on the old sci fi show Farscape the first season used them as the f/x for one of their ET encounters. Maybe there'll be a market if equine disco ever becomes a fad!

Looks like a fantasy/sci-fi movie prop. Why didn't Lucas use something like this in the Stars Wars movies? Maybe the publicity will sell a few dozen for movie props.

These are actually feet extensions, not leg extensions.

More like, "Leg extensions turn humans into Aliens" .
that **** is wrong

Don't be naive. This is a costume item associated with "ponyplay," a form of animal role playing of a sexual or non sexual nature (see Wikipedia) and one of the most ludicrous things I've ever seen. It would appear there is no limit to lunatic, aberrant, and deviant behavior in this world. What nonsense.

[Ponygroom]

I know of no pony players actually using these or anything like them.
I am in touch with hundreds of ponies and trainers worldwide.
We use boots, mostly. Sometimes we use custom made hooves but they are not this type.

@ProfBatsonDBeltry where did you get your information from?

[squeamoz]

i want to die now.

...

someone shoot that woman.

[emag]

I think Kim Graham would look good in just about anything.

[mizziephan]

Actually, those are more like cow hooves. Horses do not have cleft hooves. Cows, pigs, and goats, however, do.

[DragonGoth]

Wow, people, ever heard of simple politeness and tolerance? The woman is an artist and costumer, and half the comments are merely furry-slagging rants about how weird it is! ***? Grow up, you guys! There is nothing "aberrant" about making fun things for the imaginative, or having an imagination in the first place.

Without people like this lady, we wouldn't HAVE an FX or movie industry that portrayed anything more than blah dramas, sappy teen romances and dissertations on grass growing practices around the world. Life would be pretty frakkin' BORING.

And why do all of these idiots seem to assume that Furry is nothing more than a fetish? Do they even KNOW any real furries? It's an appreciation for art, comics, animation and costuming with anthropomorphic animal characters. For a few, there is a fetish component, and there is nothing at ALL wrong with that, as long as it's between consenting adults.

She's having fun making things that some may consider silly, but why is this such a crime to you morons? Haven't any of you ever played dress-up as a kid? And yes, it CAN be an "adult" game, with sex or not. We're so broken about sexual activity and we've been left with this stupidity that sex can only be Vanilla Missionary and dull, dull, dull and anything outside of that tediously poor model is "aberrant". Mature people can accept that not every practice is for everyone without having to like it themselves or having to sneer or mock it. But, it's a pity the comments suggest that SOME people aren't so mature.

Personally, I cheer this lady on for her imagination, creativity and her skill.

[ProfBatsonDBelfry]

Res ipsa loquitur. I rest my case.

"We are in the process of creating what deserves to be called the idiot culture. Not an idiot sub-culture, which every society has bubbling beneath the surface and which can provide harmless fun; but the culture itself. For the first time, the weird and the stupid and the coarse are becoming our cultural norm, even our cultural ideal."

I think this could be the best way to protect infantry soldiers from land mines.

[mizzoutiger]

Since when do horses have cloven hooves?

[Prodnose]

Interesting - but don't horses do it better?
