At school, all of the horses have at least front shoes, and some have back. It seems pretty ridiculous.. if a horse pulls a shoe, they aren't allowed to be turned out until it's put back on. They can be put in the indoor, but only with a foot wrap on.

I guess that it would depend on the footing. Some people take it a little to far in my opinion.

My 16 yr old gelding will have shoes put on soon. He is ridden a lot down gravel roads to get to the trail and he is very tender footed.
