Natural Horse Concepts That Help Your Horse Thrive™
Barefoot is best for decreased equine lameness. The hoof is the most important part of your equine companion’s anatomy because without a healthy, strong hoof, she’s less likely to survive. This is why it’s important to understand how to care for your equine partner properly – so you can decrease, if not eliminate, most common equine lameness issues.
It’s common knowledge that a horse usually wears shoes, but it’s not so common knowledge that any equine can go barefoot.
Have you ever heard of someone’s equine companion falling during a competitive event?
One example is in the sport of barrel racing. A common concern barrel racers have is the possibility of their equine partner falling during a run.
This is a valid concern.

So, do you feel that way about your hoof care provider? Do you feel compelled to show her your gratitude?
If not, then you may want to rethink your relationship with her.
