Yes. Horseshoes are a main cause of poor circulation. It is said a horse has 5 hearts, one main heart and then 4 feet. The feet are little pumps that pump blood through the body with each step as they expand and fill with blood when weight bearing, then contract and shoot blood back up when lifted off the ground, non-weight bearing. However, when horseshoes are nailed on, the hoof cannot expand and contract, and thus circulation is inhibited and even prevented.
