Hi
My new loanee is barefoot and I have reverted my little cob to barefoot as having spoken to others since they don't do a huge amount and when I got my cob she was barefoot but I put shoes on her as I was worried about bruising as some of our ground is a little stony.
They are oldies and I was told it would be better to keep them barefoot to diminish the risk of arthritis.
I was very impressed with the barefoot trimmer, who kept my pony's left rear slightly ''longer'' due to the shape of her hoof wall, however people lots of people have said i should get a trim with our normal farrier. I was wondering whether people on here prefer to use a barefoot trimmer or whether they have a 'traditional farrier' who trims
