Side note: this mare was barefoot with chunks out of the edges of the hooves. I sure don't know much about horses, but I can't remember seeing any backcountry horses without shoes. The vet says there are people around here that go that way. I'm curious about that.


There's plenty of horses that would be better off bare footed than the trimming/shoeing they get. Mustangs go barefoot everywhere.
