Barefoot living environment (from Barb Peck)
Barb Peck bpeck@together.net
Yah.. I agree with Karen Chaton.. very few people have perfect
living conditions for themselves or their horses... in the NE we have 3
or 4 seasons where the ground changes drastically every 4 months or so.
It's nice to have an ideal (perfect foot) and to work toward achieving
it .. but there needs to be a healthy dose of realism with it.

...and so there goes the argument. How many people have living
conditions
for their horses that are suitable for them being kept barefoot year
around? Not very many that I know. I would have to move to a completely
different climate because I can't afford to buy enough land to give them
the proper barefoot environment. (don't I wish)
