I always shoe mine. We do showing, arena work, loads of hacking (including road work and a shale track that you have to go down to get out of our yard) hunting, PC ect

To be honest, I have yet to find a horse with hard enough feet to stand up to that sort of work. There is one barefoot horse on our yard who is pretty footsore outside the school, but the owner seems completely oblivious x_x

I would still lightly school and turn out a horse who'd lost a shoe, just no hacking or anything on hard ground.
