Horse Wear
Why do horses wear horse shoes?
At my Horse Riding school some have some and others don’t.
What are they for?
Different horses wear shoes ( and different ones ) for several reasons. The Saddlebreds at our stables wear shoes. Our academy/lesson horses wear slightly heavy shoes on their fore feet. Our big national shoe horses wear shoes and plates, wear you can’t even seee the bottom ( or sole) of the hoof. The weighted shoes are to help the horses pick up their feet higher, for more action.
A lot of hooves a fragile, and need shoes. Shoeing horses originated from the Middle Ages, when horses were kept in barns with much and creature infested areas. People put shoes on the horses to keep the bottom of the hoof from rotting away, is how the legend goes. However, now a days, if you have horses that are turned out or are kept in poor, wet conditions, bacteria can get between the shoe and the hoof and start to eat away at the hoof. That is why regular maintenace and hoof care is extremely imperitave. If a horse’s hooves has lost its white line, it has lost one of it’s barriers against bacteria.
Many shoes may have borium on the bottom of them, or borium nails. On my road Pony at home, I have road shoes, and borium nails. Borium is a substance ( metal) that is harder than steel, aluminum, and the road surfaces. It grips the road and keep a horse from slipping around. Other borium shoes are clumps of borium melted on the surface of the shoe. We use this for our draft horses at home; my pony’s shoes are small and hard to put on such a small surface.
There are all kinds of shoes. They all have different reasons.
