Practice question
Why is regular horseshoe inspection and proper farriery (herraje de los cascos) critical for draft horses working on paved roads?

- Hard paved asphalt and concrete cause rapid hoof wear, bruising, and cracking; proper horseshoes (with borium/tungsten traction studs or rubber pads) protect the hoof wall, prevent lameness, and provide essential slip resistance
- Horseshoes make the horse run like a racehorse
- Horseshoes change the horse's diet
Answer: B — Hard paved asphalt and concrete cause rapid hoof wear, bruising, and cracking; proper horseshoes (with borium/tungsten traction studs or rubber pads) protect the hoof wall, prevent lameness, and provide essential slip resistance
