well, if they outlaw horse shoes, only us outlaws will have horse shoes.....heh heh!

i like what joe long said, go barefoot when you can, shoe when you need to. kinda like me, i wear my boots when i'm picking blackberries, but not when i'm walking on the beach.

and to keep this endurance related, i have done some endurance rides on barefoot horses. gorgeous george did a 75 mile ride, five 50 milers and a 55 miler in 2003, all barefoot. i did a 50 miler at river run on jefe, my other mustang, and he was barefoot. you should see his feet! i havent measured, but his hoof wall looks like it is about 3/8" thick! but we are in the southeast, and dont have rock like up north and out west. i put shoes on GG for the alabama yellowhammer, because it is rocky up there. he was shod for tevis and shod for the goethe 100 miler a couple of months ago. cowboy ed
