With the abrasive volcanic sand & soil and the more than plentiful volcanic rock, shoeing is pretty much a must around here if you are going to do more than putz around your pasture or arena. 10 or 15 minutes on a trail around here can chew a horse's hooves up pretty badly. We shoe during the summer months, and let them go barefoot over winter when they are not used much.
