Sometimes, sometimes not. Horses can get stone bruises from stepping on rocks, which may cause them to go lame until the bruise heals. This is not generally a serious condition.
If your horse is prone to stone bruises, tell your farrier. Sometimes trimming less of the sole will reduce sensitivity. Other times, it may be wiser to shoe with pads.

When leading a horse should you walk directly in front of it to show where you are going?
No, you should walk next to the horse's shoulder. If you lead the horse from directly in front of it, and something spooks the horse from behind it, its natural instinct would be to run away from whatever spooked it, which, in this case, would be forward. If you are in front of the horse, you would probably get crushed by it. However, if you are on the side, the horse won't be able to hurt you, and you will be able to regain control faster.

What angle should you approach a horse?
Your horse needs to see you before you come to close or else it might jump and be frightened and that could be bad. So walk towards the front of your horse but when it is far away and then you need to turn your body towards its side and then it can still see you because of where its eyes are placed. If you walk towards the front of your horse and it wants to run it will run right into you and the same with the back do not walk towards the back of your horse because it can kick you and it sure does hurt! the same when your brushing or tacking up your horse it is best to walk around the front of your horse. i hope i have helped.
