Anonymous5: they put the socks on horses and ponies during rutting to keep them from hurting each other... although usually i think they just put them on the male horses forelegs... not sure what the reason is here
Anonymous9: From the artist's deviant art "I originally wanted the socks to be stocking and velvet gloves but I couldn't get tight fitting cloth to look right. I went a little bit over board making them look loose though."
