You are missing the point of the current barefoot posts. Equipment is not a 
static topic.
The whole barefoot thread currently going on started because of the 
introduction of the Boa Boots. In the past, there were very few options. 
Before the EasyBoot, "barefoot" meant just that.
Then, with the introduction of the Easy Boot, some people who had ideal 
circumstances and infinite patience left their horses barefoot and used the 
EasyBoots for their competitive riding. But  it was inconvenient and never 
really caught on. There was also a lack of knowledge available on the 
horse's hoof needs to the layman.
Now, a few individuals have devoted their lives to focus on the workings of 
the equine hoof, and the knowledge is easily shared with the proliferation 
of the Internet and e-mail.  Many people have expressed an interest (current 
or past) in the concept of leaving their horse barefoot, but they really 
felt in a fog. Relly did not have concrete information to answer their 
questions.

Also, technology is constantly evolving, and now, like no other time in 
history, materials and machinery are available that can make the equipment 
to not only find Mars, but touch it.  With  the combination of the research 
Jamie Jackson, Dr. Strasser and Martha Olivo and University research labs 
and equipment, the facts and motivation are available to make things 
possible if there is a demand for  it.

Soon, we will have the answers needed to allow a horse to live its life and 
even compete 100 miles in one day without nailing anything to their feet.
