Doesn't everybody do that? Even here, it's very, very unusual for any horse of any breed to need shoes when it's not being ridden, unless it has a specific medical problem. The other thing that bugs me - the idea that a barefoot trim and a pasture trim are two different things. A good, balanced trim is a good, balanced trim. Period. "Barefoot Nazis". I like that - very apt.
