The people who make these pieces and fit them onto the horse's feet are called the farriers.


The clip-clop sound heard when a horse walks down a road is due to the presence of the horseshoe, and it lets the other people know that a horse is approaching. There are six different types of horseshoes: regular horseshoe, trailer shoe, rim shoes, bar shoe, heart bar shoe, and egg bar shoe.
