If the operation is correct, the horse will not feel pain, because the end of the horseshoe is keratinized tissue, with no nerve distribution, and it belongs to the same organ as our nails. If the operation is improper and the horseshoe nails penetrate the keratinized tissue, the horse will feel pain when exercising.

The reason why horses need to trim their hooves

Horseshoe is actually a kind of keratinized skin, which is the fulcrum of the horse's body weight and also protects the horse's limbs. Too long nails of horseshoes directly affect the walking of horses, which will seriously damage the joints of horses.

Horse is a kind of animal that is willing to run. During the friction between the sole of the foot and the ground, the nails will be worn, but at the same time, the nails will continue to grow, so it can maintain a natural balance.

When a horse walks on a hard road, the horseshoe nails will be polished and split quickly. Therefore, human beings nail horseshoes with horseshoes, which is equivalent to putting shoes on horses, in order to protect horseshoes and let horses walk with loads for a long distance.
