Why not compete barefoot. If you have gone barefooted for a fair period the hoof should be strong and healthy, so, unless the course is very rocky or on long stretches of pavement, barefoot should be good. John D. Herr Barefooted is fine. HOWEVER, if you are doing your homework and putting in the miles required to do a good job, the wear will exceed the growth. I [ponies] wear steel shoes out in about 6 , or 7 weeks when in moderate training. There is no way that I could get by going barefooted. Sure wish I could, much better for the horse. I am going to try the Old Macs this winter when we are in the off season. I do like my horses to run barefooted when not in training or, little training. Jerry Friz, Anderson, Ca.
