my 2 cents worth. I trim my own horses. I learned from a natural hoof care book. Yes in this book and others I now have, they say that all horses can go bare foot... I am 90% against shoes, the other 10% can't do with out them for one reason or another. I think that over the years I have conditioned my horse's hoofs to take the beating of rocky trails, gravel driveways and a few miles down the road...but thats just me and not every horse has the genetics for a strong hoof.
