    Ok Debbie maybe you will answer my question as no other barefoot person has since I posted it on ridecamp a few weeks ago . Are you barefoot enthusiasts saying that keeping your horse barefoot actually makes them more metabolically sound than a shod horse ? Darolyn stated in a post that she was having less colic incidents since going to the barefoot trim but when I specifically asked her about this she would not respond . I do not want to start another barefoot/shod war but I find this incredulous that people actually believe steel shoes can cause colic or other metabollic problems .
