I just read an ad on dreamhorse.com for an Icelandic mare that had good feet that did not need shoes and only required trimming every 4-6 months.
Is the terrain so rough out west that feet wear down on their own? My gelding has strong hooves that don't chip or crack. He doesn't need shoes in Michigan on the soft trails here. However, I could probably have him trimmed every six weeks even when we are riding a lot. -Kristen in Michigan
