Horse Shoes and Shoeing Practices Across Surfaces

The article explains monthly shoeing needs for horses and how wear depends on work type and road. It notes heavier dragging reduces wear compared to fast action, pavement and gravel wear shoes, wooden blocks provide little relief, hind shoes wear faster, and growth necessitates shoe changes every six weeks to avoid lameness. It criticizes limited understanding of hoof anatomy and stresses studying the natural hoof before artificial alterations.

The article argues for careful horse shoeing respecting natural foot form and proper technique. It warns against improper trimming and emphasizes choosing shoe type by work, noting the frog should not be cut. It includes a religious aside about Jesus offering friendship.
