Horses should be re-shod every 6-8 weeks. But if a shoe is lost or damaged then you should get it replaced ASAP.
It also depends on whether just a pair of feet are shod or all four are. My opinion is avoid shoeing unless it is recommended by more than one vet or farrier. Shoe only if you need to.

every day .. with or without shoes !
Horses can limp for many reasons. Some horses require shoes and others do not. Horses doing work harder on their feet, like jumpers, may require shoes while others may not. If a horse is limping, it is not necessarily because they need shoes and do not have them. This is not to say that foot injuries or soreness cannot come from not being shod, it's just not always the cause.
Well, if the horses are only shod on the front, or only on the back, 34 horses. But if they are full shod, 17. and one horseshoe would be left.
Six nails per shoe, four shoes per horse, time five horses. 6 x 4 = 24, 24 x 5 = 120
most hoses eat about 600 pounds of food per month including the amount of grazing they do
I'm not exactly a professional dancer but I go through about a pair a week. Most dancers will need a new pair atleast once a month and I have separate ones for performances and practices
Lone Pedersen wanted to give the horses the possibility to walk on a material with better shock absorption properties. Traditionally, the horse shoe is made out of steel and is fitted to the hooves of horses to offset wear. The steel shoes can wear out both the horses' joints and the surfaces they walk on. Lone Pedersen hoped that it would be more comfortable for the horses with the new shoes and that they would not be affected by as many injuries.Many carriage horses wear rubber shoes as well. The shoes give the horses better footing, and better traction on pavement or other slick or west surfaces.
The average cost of shoes can vary significantly depending on factors like brand, style, and individual buying habits. However, many consumers spend between $50 to $150 on shoes each month, with some spending more on specialty or designer pairs. For those who purchase shoes less frequently, the average monthly expense may be lower when averaged over the year. On average, a typical consumer might expect to spend around $70 per month on shoes.
because the wild horses don't have people to put shoes on them. A long time a go, in medieval times, the King decided he would be safer on a hill. But on a hill, the horses didn't have land to roam in pastures, so they had to live in small pens or stalls, standing for hours in their own waste, which had ammonia in it. The ammonia weakened the hooves, so when the horses were ridden on the cobblestone roads, their hooves shattered. So, instead of actually fixing the problem and turning the horses back out to pasture as they should be, they just put metal on the horses feet, and actually made it worse, although they didn't know it was worse because it seemed better since the horses feet no longer shattered. So that is how horses started wearing shoes. But now, many people have gone back to the way nature intended and are leaving their horses barefoot, turned out 24/7, without shoes, clipping, stalls or blankets, and this is the healthiest way if you are willing to make the change and research everything about it. The reason wild horses do not need shoes is because their hooves have not been weakened by ammonia and holes in their feet caused by shoes. Also, they run on hard ground (despite what many people think, they do not run on lush green pastures, but rather rocks rough enough to be used as a rasp, which is how their hooves stay trimmed at a healthy length) and their feet adapt to running on this hard ground and grow to be as strong as the rocks they run on. Domestic horses can have feet as hard as the mustangs if you take the time to gradually introduce them to hard ground, like asphalt, and they too will not need shoes. So, shoes are an uneducated quick, easy cover up for messed up weak feet, which domestic horses have because they have not been cared for the way nature intended.
It is safe to assume that all countries will require you to take your shoes off. I have been in many countries over the years and all of them required shoes off. I was in England about a month ago, and they even asked me to remove my flip flops.
Yes too many apples cause diarheaa for horses. They cannot digest the apples correctly and it shoots straight through them.
