   Wild horse do not need shoes to be able to run fast. But for work horses, shoes are necessary because the hard roads along which they are driven will otherwise wear away the horn of the hoof and the hoofs become dry and unhealthy through lack of moisture.
  On their native pastures, the wild horses bathe their feet every morning in the dew of the grass and the moisture soaks into the horn of the hoofs, and keeps them healthy and tough. Dew is a good ointment for the hoofs of horses and it has been found than horses which are kept at night in dewy fields have such healthy hoofs that they can do a great deal of work without shoes.
