Ridecamp: Re: Re:Re: [RC] barefoot endurance

Comfort of shoes???  If numbness is comfort, we should all bind our feet to
avoid feeling the ground.  He was sore for a day or two.  Shoes cause
lamenesses over time that in many cases cripple a horse permanently.  Again,
educate yourself before you comment on a topic.  There is information out
there to substantiate what I am saying.  Dr. Strasser did research for over
20 years before asserting her claims.  At least take a few hours to read a
book on the topic--one written by someone who did some actual scientific
research.  Your horse will thank you.
