Cloven hooves is a evolutionary process with the only possible explanation being because they live in a variety of environments that needs them to have two hooved toes to grip a surface that a horse's hoof could have trouble with. Other than that, there really is no real explanation.

No, they have solid hooves just like horses and donkeys. All Equids are single hoofed mammals.
