Let me try to nail your shoes on your bare feet and let me know how you like it. Oh I don't disagree lol. I've been waiting for this for a decade now and am surprised it hasn't happened.The nails reportedly don't hurt the horse but how do we really know? But that's enough of this discussion b/c I don't want this go down certain paths lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But underneath the hoof are tender nerves; the hoof gets worn down over time on hard unnatural surfaces, so without the horseshoe, the horse will eventually be in walk-inhibiting pain. It’s the exact opposite of hurting the horse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
