The horse hoof is a kind of keratinized skin, to put it bluntly is equivalent to human nails, is the body weight of the fulcrum, and often in the hard ground abrasion, time, the hooves on the uneven abrasion phenomenon, this will be on the horse's number of degrees and the weight of the impact of a great deal. In order to avoid this phenomenon, people will be in the horse's hooves nailed to a piece of hoof iron to protect the horse's hooves, to prevent hoof wear.
There must be a certain way to nail a hoof nail. Before nailing the hoof nail, you must use a hoof knife to trim the hoof shape, the bottom edge of the hoof wall, and then choose the appropriate hoof nail to make the hoof and iron fit, and then nail the hoof nail into the nail hole. The white line between the bottom edge of the hoof wall and the bottom of the kick is the part of the nail. The nail should be driven outward through the hoof wall, but should not cause damage to the tactile part of the horse.

Meaning of a horseshoe
In many countries, nailing the horseshoe Iron nailed to the door of your home is commonplace, never pull out the horseshoe so that you will be lucky for as many years as the horseshoe you nailed exists. And. It's best if your horseshoe is a gift from someone else, rather than something you bought yourself. So why do horseshoes bring luck? That's because, since ancient times, horseshoes have been closely associated with three things associated with luck: horses, iron, and the shape of a crescent moon.
Horses were worshipped as magical creatures. Since primitive times, iron has been considered a symbol of luck. Once humans learned to make weapons out of iron, they realized that it was very useful in attacking and fighting. So it's easy to see why humans used iron as a weapon for self-protection. All over the world, iron has been used as a lucky charm against demons and monsters as well as evil forces. Anything made of iron can be used as a weapon.
It is also said that the Irish used to believe that misfortune could never happen to a blacksmith! In addition, horseshoes can be heated by fire and re-purposed, so just like the literal meaning, many seers have spiritually referred to fire as a symbol of refinement and sublimation. But the most powerful of these symbolisms, I'm afraid, is the crescent shape of the horseshoe.
The horseshoe is like a crescent moon, and it symbolizes those who are the makers of life, the great mother figures, such as Artemis, the ancient Egyptian goddess of fertility and reproduction. So nailing a piece of horseshoe to a door is to fight the power of death with a strong life force.
