Wild Horse Hooves at Eve Milson blog

Wild Horse Hooves. Domestic horses, on the other hand, spend a lot of their time sedentary on a perfectly level and relatively soft ground. Wild horses maintain their hooves by moving long distances over rough terrains, which helps them build hard hooves that do not need shoeing and wear down the hoof, preventing overgrowth. They traverse different terrains such as rocky ground and riverbeds that help to trim and clean their hooves. The distance they roam daily naturally wears down a wild horse’s hooves, preventing them from developing common hoof issues for domesticated horses like thrush. Wild horses maintain their hooves by moving long distances, 20 to 40 miles (30 to 60 km) a day, over rough terrains. Hydration from natural water sources is crucial for maintaining hoof moisture balance, which contributes to hoof health. While older or injured horses in the wild may struggle to prevent unbalanced hooves, they don’t run into the level of overgrowth as much as domesticated horses do. In contrast, domestic horses have a more sedentary lifestyle and are often kept in stalls, which can lead to overgrowth of hooves if not properly maintained. In this article, we will explore how wild horses take care of their hooves, including interesting trends, common concerns, and expert advice. Wild horses move many kilometers a day across a variety of surfaces, which naturally wears down their hooves. Because the wild horse herds must travel for food and water, their hooves are naturally worn down on a daily basis. Over time, their hooves grow out and we hire farriers to come and trim them back.
