-'''Horseshoeing''' is an [[Knowledge Points|amateur]]-status [[Sage Ability|sage ability]] in the [[Sage Study|study]] of [[Animal Physiology (sage study)|Animal Physiology]], enabling a character to fit horseshoes onto a horse's hooves, protecting them from excessive wear and damage.  The ability also includes the skill to shape and finish a horseshoe from a pre-formed blank provided by an [[Ironmonger|ironmonger]], once the character has attained amateur status in [[Horseback Riding (sage study)|horseback riding]].  However, it does not grant additional blacksmithing skills beyond those necessary for horseshoeing.

 __TOC__
 The practice dates back several thousand years, with early evidence suggesting that various cultures developed different methods to protect their horses' hooves. In ancient times, civilisations such as the Romans and Celts used hipposandals, which were metal or leather hoof coverings that were strapped onto the horse rather than nailed in place. These early designs helped provide traction and durability but were not as secure as later methods.  The nailed iron horseshoe, similar to what is used today, is believed to have emerged around the 5th to 7th century, possibly first appearing in Europe. By the Middle Ages, horseshoes had become widespread, with blacksmiths crafting them in great numbers to support the growing need for cavalry and working horses. The expansion of trade, warfare and agriculture during this time led to the refinement of horseshoe designs, with different styles developed for warhorses, draft animals and couriers traveling great distances.

 Horseshoes are typically made of wrought iron, though variations exist depending on the region and the specific needs of the horse. The practice is a professional trade, conducted by a trained [[Farrier|farrier]], but those with this ability can perform the task themselves if properly equipped.

-Shoeing a horse requires a set of farrier tools, an anvil, a hot fire, and a bucket of water to cool the metal once it has been shaped. While the process can be performed indoors, it is generally done outside due to the heat involved in working the iron. Each shoe takes approximately 15 to 25 minutes to fit properly. The farrier must first trim the hoof, ensuring that it is balanced and prepared for the new shoe. The shoe itself must then be shaped and filed, carefully adjusted to match the natural contours of the hoof. Once fitted, the farrier takes time to care for the horse’s foot, ensuring there are no cracks, sores, or weaknesses before proceeding. Finally, the shoe is nailed into place, securing it firmly while minimizing discomfort or harm to the horse. A well-shod horse benefits from improved endurance, particularly on hard or uneven terrain, reducing the risk of injury over time.

 The same process can also be applied to mules and donkeys, as their hooves require similar protection. Though their natural hooves are often harder and more resilient than those of horses, they still benefit from proper shoeing, particularly when traveling over rough or rocky terrain. Mules, which are commonly used for long-distance transport and hauling, require well-fitted shoes to prevent excessive wear, while donkeys may need them in regions with hard, unforgiving ground. The process of fitting shoes to these animals follows the same steps as with horses, though adjustments in shoe size and shape may be necessary to account for their distinct hoof structure.
