Horses in the wild seem to be perfectly fine without them, why do we need to put hunks of metal on their hooves?
In: Biology
they dont need them if you only intend ot have the horse running around on dirt roads and fields without significant loads on their backs.
the idea of horse shoes became a necessity once horses had to start going thru more solid ground like asphalt roads and being used as cargo animals. if you didn’t somehow reinforce their hooves they would end up getting injured and would eventually endanger the animal’s life thru infection.
