Hi @lastgreat1, well, they don't! Wild horses typically don't have the best hoofs because they are just that; wild. They do tend to move around more and hence get more natural wear but chipping and cracking, especially the kind that results from a combination of dry conditions and lack of maintenance can lead to problems. Once cracking gets deep enough and bacteria gets into the hoof you can get nasty problems and generally wild horses don't tend to last as long as those properly cared for.
