Do you automatically shoe all of your barrel horses? Mine has nice, solid feet and is not tender or clumsey in any way. Do I need to shoe him? Will it give us a better advantage?
Thanks for your time and consideration.
The horses that I am hauling a lot are shod but my young horses that only go every now and then just have shoes on in the front. I would prefer to be able to leave a horse barefoot as much as possible but the pavement and sorry ground conditions in lots of parking areas won't allow it, especially if you have a horse that tends to be tender footed or gets sore easily.
