Horseshoe

Horseshoes are metal U-shaped plates that are attached to the hooves of horses to protect their feet and provide traction. They are a crucial part of horse care and are commonly used in equestrian activities such as riding, racing, and working. Horseshoes are typically made of steel or aluminum and are shaped to fit the natural curve of the horse's hoof. They are nailed or glued onto the hoof by a professional farrier, who specializes in hoof care and shoeing. Horseshoes help to prevent wear and tear on the hooves, provide support, and improve the horse's overall performance and comfort.
