[RC] Barefoot/Shod-both good - Tracy BlueWow, it's great everyone is so passionate about this subject. I would just like to say... I have a 7 year old QH that has always been barefoot. Has done 475 miles, all barefoot, but with easyboots on the road loop of S.E. Minnesota and the RR bed loop of Spirit Mountain. All trail riding, even on the RR bed, since I live close and condition there, is done barefoot. He is happy, he has no problems. I have another 12 year old Qh, has over 1700 miles, all shod. He tried barefoot, didn't work. He has no problems shod. I have two more young ones, trying barefoot, but if they need shoes that's o.k. too. What can I say, I am almost always bareffot when weather allows, my husband would rather die than be barefoot in any situation. Horses or people....all individuals with individual needs.
