The advantages of having a horse kept barefoot are many:
The hoof offers better "feel" and traction than a shoe over most surfaces.
Having hooves trimmed is much cheaper than having hooves shod.
No more loose, lost, or bent shoes.
The hoof can be trimmed more frequently and kept in better balance.
A bare foot tends to keep itself cleaner.
A bare foot doesn't trap snow and ice.
There are many factors that the horse owner needs to be aware of in order to help
their horse have optimum hoof health. This web site is here to encourage people
to get educated, so they can make informed decisions about their horse's health
and long-term soundness.
