Get off and lead the horse back to the paddock. If it is too far to walk, remain mounted and allow the horse to move at its own pace, no faster than a walk. If a shoe fell off, it could mean that the hoof has split. That, in turn, can lead to a permanent -- even life-threatening -- injury.

3 ways you can tell if your horses needs re-shoeing?

What should you do if a horse throws a shoe will you are riding?
On howrse Pad the hoof with cotton and wrap it securelyThe most important thing to do when your horse throws a shoe while riding is to get off (of course) and check to make sure the shoe is completely off. Check the sole and frog of your horses hoof to make sure there are no puncture wounds from the nails. If the horseshoe is still partially attached to the hoof, the shoe MUST be removed before moving the horse. Sometimes you can do this by hand but you may need a set of shoe pullers to safely remove the shoe. To prevent damage to the horses hoof, make sure you feel comfortable doing this or have someone else who is familiar with the process to do it. People who trail ride often or for long distances often carry a hoofpick, a set of shoe pullers AND a boot that can be put on the bare hoof until the farrier is able to put on a new shoe. In most situations, it is enough for you to walk (do not ride) your horse back to the barn. Unless there is an injury or existing hoof problem, padding or wrapping the hoof is usually not necessary. A well fitting boot is a good thing to always have on hand for just such emergencies. Boots are a good way to protect the hoof until your farrier can make the trip to see your horse. (I highly recommend Boa Boots) Always use good common sense and your own judgement. If you think your horse was injured when the shoe came off OR if you have any doubts, ALWAYS call your vet or farrier to ask their advice before moving the horse.If your horse throws a shoe while you are riding what should you do?Pad the hoof with cotton and wrap it

It depends how large is the pony, ponies are much like horses just smaller. If your to big i wouldn't suggest riding them.Firstly If you have a pony a saddle and bridle then u can ride but if u havent rode before you wouldn't be too good. I would suggest if you have never ridden a pony before i would addvistse in the paper you want someone to train you in your home or u could just go to a bhs riding school and be showing how to rideI would highly reccommened to go to a riding school and get a experinced instrocker and ride a few times if you do then u should buy a horse but rember horses are expensive so make sure you have enough money first

It depends on your horse if it is happy to walk home with you ridding then do so.Some horses can get 'footsore' and will appear lame in which case jump off and lead home. NEVER try to nail shoe back on unless you are a qualified farrier you could drive the nail into the sensitive part of the foot or worse,horses feet are a complex structure.Trying to wrap the hoof wouldn't work very well,you can buy a type of boot to temporary replace the shoe.
