It is a good idea to check hooves every day as stones or other items can bruise the hoof.Always pick out before riding and on return from a ride.Mud and wet bedding can cause thrush [a infection] in the frogs and hoof if you don't clean the hooves out.
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.
Four legs. Horses have always had four legs.
Pick your horses hooves out daily, or whenever you are up at the boarding place. As stones can get caught in the hoof, causing a stone bruise potentially. Also in the muddy seasons going too long without picking the hooves clean can develop thrush.
I believe it would be great to be able to run across open prairie and have no fence to stop you. I also think the life of a wild horse can be very hard, like avoiding predators and round ups, but nice to be in the company of others the whole time. no one really knows for sure.
Hooved animals are mammals that have hooves - hard coverings on the tips of their toes. Examples of hooved animals include horses, cows, deer, and sheep. The hooves provide support and protection for these animals as they walk and run.

Because, throughout evolution horses developed hooves as other animals developed other methods of protection on their feet such as toenails on humans. It was many random nucleotide mutations that eventually overtime lead to the desireable trait of hooves.

The can not. AS many may know, this is a trick question because I'm sure that physically they can but literally since there is a metal hoof covering it then they can't see there own foot.
You should clean a horses stall every day to insure a healthy horse.
Wild horses can be used for many disciplines when trained to do so. I know many people who prefer to use mustangs for trail riding because they have very sturdy and hard hooves. But mustangs can be used for most all disciplines regular horses do. An example is mustangs would probably make a good endurance horse because of their hard hooves and stamina.

Fence off areas of the pasture with temporary electric fencing that the horses should be grazing on. Allowing only a portion of the pasture for the horses to graze will allow for less risk of the horses overgrazing the pasture, which they tend to do.
