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!
