Can horses feel from their hooves?

A horse's hooves are like your fingernail. It doesn't hurt to cut them, but if you tear it or it is otherwise damaged, you can feel pain where the nail attaches to your skin. Horses' feet need to be kept clean so the sensitive inside of their foot isn't damaged through the sole by a stone or other foreign object. Horses wear shoes to protect their feet from damage, not pain. Damage to the hoof wall, frog or sole will sometimes result in pain, but not always. yes, very much. that's why they wear horse shoes, so that they don't hurt their feet, and that's also why you are supposed to clean out their hooves.
