I ride my horse barefoot,[ a novice] and was told the other day that it would make her lame. I only walk her and it is about three miles till I get to a gravel road.
@lynnpaul100 I have never had any lameness issues from my riding my horses barefoot on paved roads. As for gravel, some horses are conditioned to go over gravel and they have no problems, but some are more comfortable wearing hoof boots. I like using hoof boots for gravel because I don't worry about stone bruises occurring. Have fun with your mare~~
hahaha this is quite funny!!!! the horse doesn't have a clue....i love the sound of horses walking,,i thought i was weird but obv not..im not alone in this!
I rode a shod horse for the first time in 4 years and really noticed his lack of traction and balance on the road. Me no like! Me love my barefoot babies!!!

Is a gravel road bad also? Thanks Lynn

@lynnpaul100 Thanks for the info. One thing I have noticed on my journey to info about horses, is that many opinions confict among people.

I like the sound of barefoot horses on a road :) Much nicer than shod ones.

To bad you didn't show any shots of the horses you were riding. They looked like they were very nice looking.
