I had a couple or three horses all about the same time who worked barefoot very
well. Good feet. At the same time, I had a young Hanoverian mare I was just
starting under saddle. She never seemed sore, just not real enthusiastic about
her work. When we started to get ready for her first CDE (fall 2004), I put
shoes on her. All of a sudden I had a much nicer moving horse. This spring I
tried her barefoot again. Same thing. Didn't move as well and lost her
ambition. Obviously she is more comfortable with shoes. I have told my
farrier not to let my change my mind and try her barefoot again [grin].
