Here's a couple of things to ponder: We generally hear, in marketing for Icelandic Horses, that they have very good feet. If so, why do they need shoes? (I'm not talking about the areas where they wear their feet down too fast, just normal regular areas). If so, why do they get so sore when removing the shoes?
