depends what is wrong with the hooves.. just cleaning wise take the hoof pick and get under the packed in dirt and brush the pick along the frog( triangle inside of the hoof) (which is very sensitive by the way) and repeat until the hoof is clean! if the horse is limping or is sensitive to the foot call your local Vet or Farrier.
Pick their hooves daily for any rocks. Treat for thrush if horses have any (white smelly stuff from moisture).

Neither. Hooves are the part of a horse's foot that are somewhat similar to a human's fingernails. You would say- that is my horse's hoof or my horse has never had a porblem with his hooves. it is never hooves horses.

Some horses benefit by having hard hooves because then when they gallop or run they don't get their frogs (soft part of their hooves) cut. So it is very beneficial for horses to have hard hooves.
