There are a lot of riders out there with shoes on their horses that I
respect. For better or for worse, I won't be one of them. Maybe I have cut my
potential and my horse's potential.
Or maybe I have chosen a path that will help my horse more than anyone will
ever know.
I DO respect people who shoe well. As long as they don't blindly discount
the barefoot way because they are unwilling to do the work it entails, or make
the sacrifces it entails.
