A hoof wearing down at the toe could mean the horse is landing toe first or dragging it's hooves instead of landing heel first which could be due to long toes, conformation, or a poor trim / shoeing job by your farrier. It would be best to have your farrier look at the horses hooves and maybe your equine veterinarian to rule out any illnesses that may be causing toe dragging if that could be an issue.

How do you get a horse to lift up his hoof?

For a front hoof, stand with your back to the horse's head. Slide your hand down the back of the horse's leg, and when you get to the fetlock (the bump above the hoof) squeeze slightly and try to lift it up. If the horse won't pick up, lean against it. That'll help the horse move its weight to its other feet so you'll be able to pick up the hoof better. For a back hoof, stand once again with your back facing the horse's head. Repeat the process, except you can slide you hand on either side of the leg. I slide my hand down the back of the leg.
