shoeing

Shaping in horse care refers to the process of fitting and attaching a horseshoe to a horse's hoof. It involves cleaning and trimming the hoof to ensure a proper fit for the shoe, which helps protect the hoof, provide traction, and support mobility. Shoeing is typically performed by a farrier, a specialist trained in hoof care. Proper shoeing maintains hoof health, corrects deformities, and can enhance performance, all while ensuring the horse remains comfortable and sound.
