Some say that an Army marches on its stomach. Some say that your
most important tool in combat is your rifle or that wars are won by the
threat of the bayonet. All true, but trench foot and frostbite have had
a debilitating effect on troops since they began marching into combat.
Modern warfare may not be as dependent on boots on the ground as
it once was, but, the health of the troop's feet can be costly. They once
said something about "for want of the nail, the shoe was lost, for want
of the shoe the horse was lost, for want of the horse the battle was lost
and for want of the battle the war was lost". We don't use horses much
in today's warfare, but the concept is the same.

I presume you mean that theater in which he was apprehended after shooting President Kennedy. That was named the Texas Theatre. He was there in hopes of escaping the police and hiding out for a while. He made a big mistake by not buying a ticket, which resulted in a call to the police and his arrest. A ticket that would have cost about 25 cents would have allowed him to watch Aldo Ray in relative comfort while awaiting nightfall and a new escape plan. For an extra quarter he could have had an extra large popcorn with melted butter, a candy bar and a soda. "For want of a nail, the shoe was lost, for want of a shoe, the horse was lost, for want of a horse the battle was lost, ....."

This would depend on how the term was used. If you mean ' the horse threw a shoe.' that would mean the horse lost it's shoe somehow. If it was ' the horse threw the rider.' it means the horse lost it's rider somehow. It can also mean the horse 'threw' a foal ( gave birth/sired a foal). There are many meanings to this term, depending on how it was used.

Tar was used in old shipbuilding, the way we use caulking today, to seal against water penetration. If too little tar was used, to save a ha'penny (half a penny) and openings left unsealed, the ship might take on water and eventually sink (spoil).

The first thing you should do when your horse throws a shoe while riding is to get off and don't ride the horse until the situation is corrected. Walk your horse back to the barn. The horse will need to be seen as soon as possible by a blacksmith / farrier to replace the shoe. While waiting on the farrier to get there, (which could be days), you could put a good boot on the hoof that lost the shoe to protect it until a new shoe can be fitted. I highly recommend Boa boots. Your farrier may advise on the phone for you or another knowledgeable horse person to go ahead and pull the other shoe that is on the foot opposite the one that lost a shoe. In other words, if your horse throws the left front shoe, the farrier may advise you to go ahead and pull the right front shoe. This will keep the horse from being out of balance, which will put excess strain on their legs and body and can make them very sore. When out on long trail rides, endurance rides or anytime you're riding far away from civilization, it's ALWAYS a good idea to carry a hoof pick, (there are collapsable ones available that easily fit into your pocket), a set of shoe pullers and a boot.

Shoeing a horse involves attaching a metal horse shoe to the bottom of the horse's hoof to protect it. It is not recommended to shoe a horse backwards as this could be uncomfortable and potentially harmful for the horse's hoof and leg. It is important to always consult a professional farrier for proper shoeing techniques.

A farmer rode to a fair to sell his sheep. He got a good price for them. His money-bag was full of gold and silver. He now set out for home. On the way he halted at an inn. "There is a nail out of one of the shoes", said the stable boy "You had better wait and have it put on."
"No, no", cried the farmer, "I can't wait a minute. One nail does not matter." So he got on the horse and galloped out of the town. He had hardly gone a few miles when........ Completed Story The Missing Nail he found that his horse had lost a shoe. He stopped at an inn. The stable boy said, "Sir, you had better let me take your horse to the blacksmith1 to have the shoe put on."
"No", said the farmer, "It does not matter much. I am already late. I have only a few miles to go and my horse can take me there without a shoe." He got on to his horse again and rode on. After a few miles, however, the horse began to limp and soon it went quite lame. The farmer, therefore, got down and began to lead it. He walked fast but he was still far away for home.
The night came on. The farmer was forced to rest under a big banyan tree. Suddenly some robbers appeared there. They covered him with their pistol and demanded from him what ever he had. The farmer was now quite helpless. He resisted for a while. The robbers robbed him of his money bags by force and left him bruised. The farmer was sorry. He lamented over his foolish mistake. "Alas! he said," "for want of a horse-shoe nail I have lost all my money."
Moral: A stitch in time saves nine.
