Why do horses need to be trimmed?
1. Horseshoe is actually a kind of keratinized skin, which is equivalent to human nails. It is the fulcrum of the horse's weight and also protects the horse's limbs. If you don't trim the horseshoe regularly, the nails will grow bigger and bigger, which will affect the normal walking of the horse and seriously damage the joints, so you should give the horse a hoof regularly.

2. At the same time, the horseshoe is in contact with the ground for a long time, which will be uneven and seriously worn due to the friction of the ground and the corrosion of accumulated water. Therefore, people nail horseshoes, which can delay the wear of horseshoes and make horseshoes hold the ground more firmly, which is very beneficial to the daily work, riding and driving of horses. The horseshoe will only be nailed to the stratum corneum without nerves and blood vessels, so that the horse will not feel the pain.
