a horse would throw a shoe when it hasn't had its feet checked by the farrier in six weeks. the nails in the shoe would get loose and if the horse galloped around and stepped on a hard surface the shoe could fall off.

A horse may need shoes if it wears it's hoof down faster than it can grow. They may also need shoes to correct orthopedic / hoof problems. Rarely do horses actually need shoes, but many people use them on their horses anyways.
