SHOELESS is a better term for competing without steel nailed to their feet.
BAREFOOT is a term used to describe the HORSE'S LIFESTYLE. Horses do not need
hoof protection on their feet 24/7 with the barefoot lifestyle. They can even
compete in many events without additional protection. My horse competed 
in many
50-milers completely "barefoot."  The point is that technology has finally
developed to the degree that a "barefoot" horse can now compete in even the
highest-level events without needing to permanently nail steel to the 
bottom of
their feet 24/7 in order to function.
