[RC] the big argument about barefoot boils down to this - - JonniBut what you are saying here is that the ride does come first. At least you are saying that the ride comes before being barefoot. You have decided your horse will be an endurance horse.<<< Well wait a min. not everyone is choosing BETWEEN barefoot and endurance. Some have no problems with shoes, feel shoes are what horses should have done, be the horse an endurance horse, or Western Pleasure show horse. Not everyone chooses shoes because they feel their horse can't go barefoot, some just feel shoes are part of the equipment. Many horse owners, who have had horses all their lives, have been having their horses shod for as long as they have had horses. It is just what they have done. They are not choosing to not do the barefoot thing, as it is just something they have never considered. Why would they, if things have worked well for them all this time? And these are not clueless backyard horse owners. You will find this across the board from folks with their first and only horse, to those who have been making a living raising and training horses for a life time in all disciplines. Oh, and as far as those who do choose to have their horse as an "endurance horse" over a barefoot horse......well, this IS an endurance list. <wink> Jonni =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
