[drivingpairs] Re: to shoe or not

I'm with ya, Claudia! As much as I love my farrier, ahem, and I mean that in
the most platonic way, I am very happy that all 5 1/2 of my ponies go
barefoot. One has fronts only. Much rather spend my money on other horsie
stuff, like my driving lessons!

 I have had all my horses and ponies barefoot now for about 3 years and have
 been very happy with the results.  Their feet have improved greatly, they
are
 stronger and we have had no problems.  If I ride or drive them where they
are
 uncomfortable I use boots.  Actually the only time I had to do that was in
 Acadia, Me.  I don't worry about snow packing in their feet because it
 doesn't.  I take my pony out sleighing and have had no problems with
traction.


 When I tried out a new carriage a while ago I was a little worried because
we
 had to go up a fairly steep paved slippery driveway.  I didn't need to
worry,
 she just trotted us the hill fine.

 A number of friends have also gone this route and all are very happy with
the
 results.  A big plus, and not the reason I did it, is no big shoeing bills!
