Why does my horse keep pulling his front shoe off?

Answer by  Daisy (161)

I would talk to my farrier and have him look at the horses hoof to see if there is a problem. Your horse may need a corrective shoe.

As the horse is walking he is overstepping with his hind leg and it is coming down right behind the foreleg, it is called clipping. Use different shoes.
