In the wild a horse or donkey will wear his hooves down naturally. Once the animal has been rescued and is being held in large corrals or holding pens, they aren't wearing the hooves down enough and so they must be trimmed about every 6-8 weeks.
Some horses benefit by having hard hooves because then when they gallop or run they don't get their frogs (soft part of their hooves) cut. So it is very beneficial for horses to have hard hooves.
AnswerThat I know of yes they can. I have a palomino mare and she has 1 black hoof, 2 half black and half white hooves, and a white hoof.AnswerYes. I had a palomino with four black hooves. Horses with socks or stockings may have a light hoof or hooves on that/those legs.
No it does not contain horses hooves. It used to contain cow hooves though, but they are no longer used.
You do not have to shoe your horses. You can have a natural hoof care specialist come to ur farm to trim your horses hooves, but not put shoes on them (Because they are not having nails hammered through their hooves, which creates lots of holes). This is not only better for your horses hooves, but it is a lot cheaper too.
Cloven hooves is a evolutionary process with the only possible explanation being because they live in a variety of environments that needs them to have two hooved toes to grip a surface that a horse's hoof could have trouble with. Other than that, there really is no real explanation.
horses, cows, bullocks, donkeys,asses, deer, antelopes and many others
Yes they are. Even though donkeys have these type of hooves and it is easy for them horses have a hard time with this type of hoof. It tends to make them off balance,and hard for them to run properly.
just animals with hooves like horses, goats, pigs, donkeys, and others
No, horses do not have cloven hooves.
Yes, donkeys often graze with horses.
No equines/horses have cloven hooves.
Horses hooves grow like out fingernails do. Also like our fingernails, horses hooves need to be trimmed and maintained. Poorly cared for hooves lead to a ridiculous number of problems, the first being cracks in hoof wall, lameness, inability to walk... the list goes on.
Neither. Hooves are the part of a horse's foot that are somewhat similar to a human's fingernails. You would say- that is my horse's hoof or my horse has never had a porblem with his hooves. it is never hooves horses.
Horses have hooves.
donkeys
Horses have hooves, as do Cows, Goats, deer, Cattle and Pigs - though they have a "Cloven Hoof" which is made of two hooves stuck together on each foot (these animals can also suffer from foot and mouth) Cammels, Giraffes and Bison also have hooves
Equidae, which includes horses and donkeys.
