Horseshoes are typically attached to a horse's hooves using nails that are driven through the shoe and into the hoof wall. The process begins with trimming the hoof to ensure a proper fit, followed by fitting the shoe to the hoof's shape. Once the shoe is positioned correctly, the farrier uses nails to secure it while ensuring that the nails are placed in a way that avoids sensitive areas of the hoof. Finally, the nails are clinched over to hold the shoe in place and prevent it from coming loose.
