Re: Suggestions for wannabe barefoot endurance riders and ride managers

Tracey,

I will be managing a ride here in S. W. New York on the first week in
October next year.  You (and any one else) are more than welcome to
participate barefoot or otherwise.  I would participate in your verification
system if you indeed finished the 50 miles in good condition.

As for Daralyn's barefoot horses - I did notice she had shoes on her horses
at the Pan Am.  But maybe they were required?

I am not debating that barefoot is probably better in the long run, I am
only saying that in my years of experience, my horses have required shoes at
the point in their training that they were doing more than a few miles a
week and at any speed at all.  BTW, I use primarily Aluminum shoes on my
endurance horses - they have better traction on the rock and roads.
