I was just going through my email and felt very compeled to reply to this
one. Most horses founder because of being overweight and not being trimmed
properly. Being barefoot has nothing to do with a horse becoming foundered.
And I have seen horses come out of years of founder with a natural balanced
BAREFOOT trim, without shoes and a good diet.
