Hi,

My gelding is barefoot and doing great. I don't usually put on shoes unless they have some issues with soft soles, frequent abcesses or feet that just don't generally hold together. I do however only use a professional farrier. I have seen too many horses go lame with incorrect trimming and it's just not worth it. You may feel as if you are saving money, but if it causes a vet call for lameness it's not worth it. Good luck with your barefoot baby!

Marilee
