Horses have hooves.
no its not true!!! horses will still be able to walk if there hooves are not trimmed. They will just chip off what is dammaged.
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.
because iif you dont their hooves will start cracking and rotting, and itll hurt for them to walk. which could lead to them being put down :(
horses have hooves so their feet don't get so dirty. it also protects their feet from getting hurt
You hire a farrier; a certified person who is trained to trim and shoe horse's hooves. You can also do it too if you go to school for it.
