I completed the Quest for Perfection series, in order, with my Inquisitor of Pharasma. Got the "axebeak as a mount" boon. Chose cavalier class for next level. Can i purchase 'horseshoes of speed' for an axebeak?
LOL. While this is undeniably a fact, I can't imagine that a pig would fit them, as a pig has two cloven hooves on each foot. And they're much smaller than horse hooves. I can imagine a centaur, or even hippogriff wearing them, however.
While a pig might have hooves, as already pointed out, they are cloven. Despite there being hooves specifically for cloven hooved animals, I still wouldn't think RAI for this magical item would allow for a pig to wear them. They are called Horseshoes of speed, after all, and horses do not have cloven feet, meaning these are probably not cloven shoes.

Yes, and if Michael Brock says so, I suppose the bias towards horses as mounts will stay. :(

Whoa there - could I ask you to spoiler that next time, or give us a warning in the title? Thanks!
Yea, there should be some love for non-horse mounts, horses are pretty passe, any discerning mounted combatant should have a cooler mount. At least it seems pretty clear that horseshoes for pigs and camels exist though.
An axebeak or wolf could wear rings though, right? How about a snake wearing bracers or a belt?

No they can't. This was addressed a month or so ago in FAQ.

Then direct your hopes and wishes toward Ultimate Equipment, as that is the next best chance for something like this to be put out by Paizo. :)

The final answer is no horseshoes for pigs, or can boar-riders rejoice?

When the design team puts pig shoes of speed into the rulesbook, I will be more than happy to make them legal. :-)

All we need to do is convince them to release a magical item supplement for animal companions and familiars. I'm sure some Pig Shoes of Speed would get in there.
