My retired QH has been barefoot her entire life, in all types of
terrain with no problems. Although I would love to do the same with my search
horse, that isn’t possible since her feet are just not the same as my QH. So
it’s shoes w/borium studs all around, all year long. Borium due to rocky
mountain terrain and asphalt in urban situations. Haven’t had too much trouble
w/snowballs but we don’t get the same amount of snowfall in central VA as some
other areas of the country. When I lived in snowy parts of the country, pads
were also added. I tried several types of boots in the past but decided instead
to stick w/shoes on that particular horse. I do carry 2 easy boots in case we
lose a shoe (horse needs a different size on the front and rear). Laurie Hanahan TROTSAR From: msar-riders-bounces@lists.ibiblio.org
[mailto:msar-riders-bounces@lists.ibiblio.org] On Behalf Of Steve de
Lyra Very
interesting discussion about saddles. But here is a question which will
make that discussion seem tame. Shoes,
barefoot or boots - that is the question.? I
have contacted my e-mail server to increase my capacity, so let 'em rip. As
I have told my vet, my desire is simple - to do what is best for my
horse. Unfortunately, the answer is not simple and many intelligent folks
who know and love horses will have vastly divergent views. None - I have
found - more than the barefoot vs. shoes question. Ride
well and stay in the saddle - whichever saddle you choose. Thanks
to all of you for what you do in your communities. Sincerely, Steve Stephen J. de Lyra |
