Well done 👍. I hunt without backs and always go barefooted for the rest of the year. Back in the day it was common practice to rest the feet whilst turned away too. Good vlog ladies 😊
As with everything it’s doing what’s best for your horse and circumstances. As ever horses are a lovely shade of grey and not just black and white with management.
A lot of farriers are good at maintaining barefoot horses. Edited to add that I plan to do very low level eventing barefoot. So small that he'll have to look down to see the fences. 😂
My big wish is that the farrier council actually stopped being so focused on shoe making and more on the foot and options for the horse with how trimming /and or shoes can help the horse physically. One day maybe 🫠
My farrier says shoes are a necessary evil and hooves adapt to what they work with. All of mine are barefoot although when I did a lot of roadworks they were shod. My ex racer is barefoot with no trouble and doesn't slip at all when jumping on grass etc
Nice day ladies. Very interesting and informative comments re going barefoot.
Glad you enjoyed it
