[RC] shoes - Kisha Smith

Would like to know if anyone pulls thier shoes during time off?  Do your
horses get sore after pulling shoes. I have friends who's horses have gone
severly lame/founder after shoes are pulled or lost . Had one friend who
thought of going barefoot and pulled her shoes and the horse instantly went
lame on both fronts, he stood in his stall in the middle of a pile of
shavings and wouldn't move,  when the farrier put the shoes back on the next
day he was instantly fine. (WIERD)!! The other horse lost a shoe while out
trail riding, had to walk about 1/2 mile down some gravel and foundered on
that foot the next day. Can anyone explain what causes this? Bad shoeing
over a long period of time?  Please keep this friendly. Just very curious?
Kisha
