The rate of hoof growth is considerably faster in young horses than in adults. The foot of a nursing foal, for example, grows at a rate of about 0.6 inches (15 mm) per month. As the horse matures, the rate slows; yearling feet grow about 0.48 inches (12 mm) per month.

Family Guy is peeling back yet another layer of the complicated onion that is Brian and Stewieâs relationship. Sundayâs episode (Fox, 9/8c) marks the comedyâs 300th outing, which begins innocently enough â with Peter making the acquaintance of his favorite cereal mascot â then takes a dark turn when Brian does something unspeakable to Stewieâs favorite toy.
