Most horses need shoeing, which protects the walls of their hooves and their toes. Depending on the work the horse does, the shoes can protect the muscles, bones and tendons of the legs from injury. Improper shoeing or remaining unshod when shoes are needed can make your horse permanently lame. Note: Not all horses need them my five horses do not need shoes. Horses usually only need shoes if they have a club foot, navicular, sensitive feet, for jumping, or any long tough work.
