A horse rider can win the Triple Crown by having their horse win three prestigious horse races: the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness Stakes, and the Belmont Stakes in the same year.
Shoeing a horse involves attaching a metal horse shoe to the bottom of the horse's hoof to protect it. It is not recommended to shoe a horse backwards as this could be uncomfortable and potentially harmful for the horse's hoof and leg. It is important to always consult a professional farrier for proper shoeing techniques.
There are many different types of horse shoes and the popularity of a particular shoe depends on what the horses are being used for. For example iron shoes are used when a horse needs a strong long lasting horse shoe. Aluminum or newer plastic shoes are used when a lighter shoe may provide an advantage such as racing. Since there is such a large variety of different types it is difficult to say which is most common.
During any given year there are thousands of horse races run in the US. Therefore, it would be better to ask which horse races are part of the Triple Crown. Those races are the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness Stakes, and the Belmont Stakes.
