horses do not have fingers they have a hoof on each foot Answer: The structures of each foot of a horse correspond to the toes and fingers of a human hand or foot. To be in the same position as horse a human would have one toe or finger contacting the ground at the end of each limb and the pressure being supported on one finger or toe nail (this corresponds to the horse's hoof) As to why horses evolved to have feet that look like this we have to look back to very early ancestors of horses such as Condylarth, a dog-sized, five-toed creature that lived about 75 million years ago during the early Eocene period. At that time these horse ancestors had feet that were more like rabbit's feet - toes and claws. As the need to run became more important in their lives ( maybe as they left forests to live in grasslands) the faster animals survived. These individuals probably ran more on their toe tips than flat footed. Subsequent generations improved on this trait until the predecessor of modern horses (Eohippus) ran on just one toe tip with a hard hoof, not a claw to provide protection from the ground.
Horses walk on their middle finger, which is actually the third digit, to support their weight and move efficiently. This adaptation allows them to distribute their weight evenly and absorb the impact of each step, making them well-suited for their natural environment and lifestyle.

When leading a horse you should walk in front of it to show where you are going?
The correct and safest way to walk with a horse is on the "fore side" his left side slightly in front of his shoulder. The way a horse's eyes work he won't need you to show him where he is going. Always remember, when leading a horse never to loop the leadrope or reins around your hand. This is a very good way to loose a finger if the horse panicks or spooks.
