How big is a Clydesdales hoof?
Clydesdales are known for the size of their feet One of their horseshoes is about the size of a dinner plate. A thoroughbred race horse has a shoe about half of that size. Horseshoes are held in place with special nails. The nails are hammered up through the shoe and exit the hoof wall. This does not hurt the horse as the hoof wall is similar in structure to a human finger nail.
