A horseshoe adds to the length of the hoof by whatever the thickness of the horseshoe is. A normal, eight millimetre thick horseshoe represents the equivalent of about five to six, sometimes seven, weeks of growth for many horses, especially the finer breeds, and Warmbloods and draft types can grow that much horn in as little as three to four weeks. The application of a horseshoe coupled with seven weeks of growth can result in an overall hoof length the equivalent of three months’ worth of growth. Any increase in length to the hoof results in higher strain, not only to the hoof, but everywhere else in the horse’s body.comfortable or mechanically sound choice for the horse’s well-being. But sadly, all too often it’s the only one that is present especially when a hoof is too far worn down. Just because a horseshoe has been fastened to a hoof doesn’t mean that the hoof will stop trying to remodel or won’t tear itself apart if the stresses upon it warrant it.
