There is no point or need to horse shoes. It is an archaic barbaric old school practice that finally today with more modern thought is finally slowly coming to an end. This is one of the beauties of the internet - the barefoot movement has become a raging fire with so much education being put out in the public viewing that more and more horse owners are realizing how detrimental that shoes really are to their horses. A shod how in a painful unnatural hoof. A barefoot hoof is a healthy hoof.

@slzabinski Thank you for your comment. I will be posting a video shortly that I've taken of Magic. It has been one year, and the diagnosed navicular syndrome has been reversed. This horse is sound and the owner is riding her after 5 years of lameness. All of this was accomplished with regular and correct barefoot trimming.

@slzabinski ya I'm a chemist :p

but u haven't answered my question!

When a horse has hooves with soft horny laminae, what do you do? u let him barefoot, with problems or you put a shell to protect it?

[slzabinski]

@Horsepassion4life Oh! So now you are a scientist?! Really?! Please, get a life and leave me out of it.

@slzabinski wait a sec, I'm a scientist.. I know how to document my self on subjects and I know to trust what I see and studie. Not because one horse can't wear shoes or it's bad for him that it is 4 every horse... on the same way, not because I wear 9size of shoes that u do... Question, when a horse has hooves with soft horny laminae, what do you do? u let him barefoot, with problems or you put a shell to protect it?

[bulljam1]

if barefoot is the way to go why are you wearing shoes?

[slzabinski]

@Horsepassion4life For the last time, your horse IS NOT better off with shoes. Educated yourself. Plenty of information out there, you just have to care enough about your horses to do so. Look at the video right here beside this video. New barefoot hoof trimming tools. That is what a healthy hoof looks like. If they don't something is wrong. EVERY horse can have feet like this if their owners would only educate themselves and let the horse have the time it needs to heal its shoe damaged feet.

@spurrit That's intelligent spurrit.

@slzabinski It's not because u don't like horse shoes that it makes it possible for all the horses to be barefoot. SOme horses feet can adjust to it even if u give them 4 years... I've had a mare that had been barefoot since she was born, after 4 years, we decided to put shoes on her cause they weren't hard enough. We would have liked to keep like barefoot, but it wasn't possible. The filly was way better after she had shoes. She had a leg longer than the other... nothing is all dark or white :)

@slzabinski blah, blah......

@spurrit My horse has a pond. He has a trough and pond to drink out of. Several types of grass. Given minerals/vitamins. BAREFOOTED and lives naturally and has BEAUTIFUL healthy feet that has never had a shoe nailed on them. I do do it for a living and have for years. Don't assume things that you don't know. Not only do I have my own horse, but I have trained many horses in my lifetime as well. I am in my 50's and have been around/with horses all my life.

@slzabinski can he find a mudhole to roll in in every one of them? How many miles does he have to travel to water? Does he have access to more than one type of grass? Natural mineral deposits? Leave the thinking to people that do this for a living.
