Horses living in the wild have their own ways to get what they need. Such as they have been observed eating a certain type of clay which rids them of internal parasites. Domestic horses eat differently then their wild cousins. Their teeth aren't worn off like wild horses so they need the help of a vet.

Why do domestic horses need their sheaths cleaned when wild ones get by perfectly fine without it?

Wild and ferel horse live differently than our domestic horses. They get what they need in their environment. Although is doesn't seem like it, wild horses 'keep clean' by rolling in dust and dirt. Domestic horses live in unnatural habitats where we must try to find a balance to keep them healthy. Most of our horses never have a chance to roll in good old dirt or stand belly-deep in water. So we have to be vigilant about their care. Sheath cleaning is just one of the many things we must do for our domestic equine friends.
