Horses don't have toenails, they have hooves.
And yes, usually they need to be trimmed regularly.
Many horses are shod, and will need new shoes something like every 6 weeks.
Even an unshod horse will need its hooves trimmed, unless it somehow manages to get enough natural wear from moving around in its paddock to keep the hooves at a suitable length, which would be quite rare.

∙ 9y agoHooves (not toenails) require trimming every four to eight weeks. This should be done by a competent farrier that can correctly balance the horses hooves based on it's conformation. Shod horses typically need their shoes pulled and hooves trimmed every 4 to 6 weeks, with shoe resets every six to eight weeks.

Should your guneia pigs toenails bleed?
NOOO, if your guinea Pigs toenails are bleeding when you cut them DON'T cut it as short as you are at the moment. You should not clip the pinkish part of the nail. OR you can take a nail filer for human nails and just scratch off a bit of nail with it.
