Why do sheep have hooves?
Horses, along with most other hoofed mammals, are grazing animals. They must often travel long distances in one day in order to find food and water, and when threatened by predators prefer to flee than fight. It is therefore important that they be able to walk or run for a long time. If you or I were to run barefoot over rough terrain for long periods (as horses often do) our soft feet would be injured. Hoofed mammals have hooves because this extremely hard surface is all but immune to rough ground. In addition, the hard, sharp hooves on a horse are one of its best defensive weapons, as anybody who's been kicked by a horse is aware. In other hoofed mammals, such as camels (desert habitat) and reindeer or musk oxen (arctic habitat) the hooves are very large and more flexible, in order to spread the animal's weight over a larger area; this stops them from sinking into sand or snow.
