By smearing vaseline or hoof oil on the sole of the hoof
No. But snow can get packed on the bottoms of their hooves and although it is believed not to hurt, it seems to be uncomfortable.
To keep it off the ice/snow and to keep it warmer.
Horses may pull carriages, wagons, carts, or trams (kind of like street cars) as a source of transportation
they have thick white coats to help them keep warm and blend in with the snow, they are also bigger,and they havealot of fat that also helps keep warm. they use calws teeth to climb

Most likely the horses shoe is not on all the way so the snow will pack up under then into the frog. To prevent it you just need to keep a hoof pick on hand to dislodge the snow.
spread weight on snow
packing snow wet snow and fliries
depends on the moist in the snow if it's too wet then it won't and too dry it won't either
Reindeer use their hooves to dig through the thick snow to find grasses and such.
Zebras are like horses. Horses do not prefer snow, neither do Zebras.
Dig through the snow for food
I have a horse also, and she dosent even have a blanket. As long as they have a stable they can go in and out of by themselves their fine. And once a day we give them some oats because it keeps them warm.
Horses, along with most other hoofed mammals, are grazing animals. They must often travel long distances in one day in order to find food and water, and when threatened by predators prefer to flee than fight. It is therefore important that they be able to walk or run for a long time. If you or I were to run barefoot over rough terrain for long periods (as horses often do) our soft feet would be injured. Hoofed mammals have hooves because this extremely hard surface is all but immune to rough ground. In addition, the hard, sharp hooves on a horse are one of its best defensive weapons, as anybody who's been kicked by a horse is aware. In other hoofed mammals, such as camels (desert habitat) and reindeer or musk oxen (arctic habitat) the hooves are very large and more flexible, in order to spread the animal's weight over a larger area; this stops them from sinking into sand or snow.
to get ice and snow out of a horses coat you get a hairdry and on meduim heat wave the hair dryer over the horse till snow and ice melt
Reindeer have cloven hooves (split into two toes) that spread slightly apart to help them cross deep snow and soft ground.
