: I've read so many positive response from horse owners who have gone barefoot. I'd like to know what farriers think of this trend.
It all depends on the hoof quality and how the horse is used. I have many customers that have their horses trimmed on a two month schedule and have no problems at all. I have a 5 year old mare that I will probably never shoe due to great feet and the moderate riding. If you have a good farrier with integrity he or she would be the best to advise you on your situation. Hooves, useage, and terrain.
