Why do rescue donkeys hooves grow when wild horses never seem to need to be rescued from such problems?

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.
