I shoe depending on the job. Majority are barefoot in a large pasture conducive for natural wear, 2-3 trims a year. Yeah!! Our 2 trailhorses have shoes, fronts on the TWH, all around on the ASB. TWH probably could go barefoot but we haven't owned him very long, so we err to side of caution. The ASB carries himself in a manner that wears profusely on pavement especially on the hinds.
