来自英国Somerset 牧场的Jerry 有着不平常的马蹄，它走在哪里都好像踩着一双阿拉丁神灯式的靴子。这种马蹄，总让我感觉它的脚很容易被崴了。两年没有修剪，马的主人你也太“疏忽”了吧？

For a long time, the idea of galloping with the breeze in his mane was just a dream for Jerry.
长期以来，对于杰瑞来说，让自己乘风飞奔，鬓毛飞扬，就是一个梦。

Overfed and neglected, the poor horse had piled on 20 stone and could barely walk.
过度供给食物和疏于关心，这匹可怜的马，脚上已经累积了20石的重量，连正常走路都成了问题。

And to make matters worse, his hooves had become so overgrown, they looked like Aladdin’s slippers.
更糟糕的是，这匹马的马蹄过度生长，看起来就像一双阿拉丁神灯式的靴子。

Jerry was eventually rescued from a farm in Somerset, where he had been living with a herd of cows.
杰瑞最终从Somerset一个农场中获得了解救，在那里它曾经和一群牛一起“生活”。

His hooves, which should have been trimmed every six to eight weeks, had been left for over two years.
它的马蹄本应该6到8个周修改一次，可是它的马蹄已经有两年没有修剪过了。

‘Jerry's hooves measured 12 inches from heel to toe, and were turned up like Aladdin's slippers,’ said Joanne Vaughn, of HorseWorld, an equine rehabilitation centre.
来自HorseWorld（一家救助马的中心）的乔安妮说：“杰瑞的马蹄，从后跟到趾头有12英才长，看起来就像阿拉丁神灯式的靴子。”

‘Although our expert farrier managed to trim the vast majority of hoof back quite quickly, it will take a long time and specialist trimming for his hooves to become the right shape again.’
“尽管我们的马医努力尽快修剪马后蹄的大部分，还是需要很长的时间和专业的修剪才能让它的马蹄重新变成正常的样子。”

不过，现在Jerry 已经完全“康复”了。在动物救助组织的帮助下，他们修建了这个马蹄让它变成了一匹普通的马，走路也更加轻盈了。据说在修建康复的6个月内，Jerry 都必须每天服用止痛药（take painkillers）来适应自己的“新蹄子”。
