There was one Icelandic (Svertla) who only needed just a little toe
> trimmed, and that was all.

Our farrier was out the other day.  He's a real odd duck, but one of the 
things I appreciate about him is that he trims the horses as individuals. 
Hunter is shod because of the terrain he goes over, although he was a 
barefoot horse when I bought him.  Yrsa got trimmed all around.  Twist only 
needed trimming in front.  And he said "If all horses were like Tosca, I'd 
be out of work".  He didn't trim anything.  She's the one (other than 
Hunter) that's being ridden.
