Best Answer

Because they have cloven hooves, not one single hoof, making it very difficult to shoe. Plus, 99% of cattle are not being used for riding like horses are, so the need to shoe them is nil.

How old does a horse have to be to get horse shoes?

Some horses where shoes at the age of 1 year to correct themselves, but generally a horse will be shoed for the first time between the ages of 3 and 4. Most horses never get shoed. Shoes are put on horses if they are to do certain types of jobs or they have a foot defect. A healthy trail horse may never see shoes.

Does a horse need to be shoed or keeping their hooves cleaned okay?

More and more research has been pointing out-right that horses don't need to be shoed. More and more horse owners are finding that their horses are more healthy and better off without having iron shoes nailed to their feet. Simply giving them a regular "wild horse" trim and allowing them access to areas where they can naturally wear their hooves down--merely by allowing them constant access to pasture and not having to confine them to stalls and a barn all the time--is far more simpler and more manageable for both you and your horse than the complexities and health issues associated with having a horse shoed. Hence, to answer the question, no a horse does not need to be shoed, so yes, keeping their hooves cleaned and trimmed regularly is perfectly fine. Your horse will thank you for it.
