This group has been started to educate the horse owners about the problems associated with traditional nailed on shoes and how a horse can become a good barefooted performance horse. The intent of this list has always been the discussion of all barefooted horses not just the principles of one persons trimming style. We are free here to discuss all styles of trimming and to educate people on the benefits of a horse away from traditional nailed on shoes. Discussions about and use of alternative hoof protection are welcome.
The main focus of the list is basically hoof related, but there are other factors to developing healthy hooves like exercise, stabling arrangements, moisture, other types of hoof protection and nutrition. I think that any question that relates in some way to these types of topics should be pretty much fair game. There is no requirement that this list be made only of people who have barefooted horses.
