Not that I ride him regularly over gravel (!) but when I rode him at his old owner's place, it had been raining for 3 days in a row and the only dry area was their gravel road. I remember asking them if it was okay to ride him barefoot on that and they said they did it all the time. He really has gorgeous feet and I love to look at them (my weird interests!). His old owner said they used to ride for 6-7 hours and would put aluminum shoes on him for those rides and then take them off. When I saw him, though, he was barefoot.
