Working Barefoot Horses

Various Mounted Police patrols in America and Canada are now barefoot. They have found that the horses have better traction and all round improved conformation. Prior to barefoot trimming, they were seeing stumbling and tripping, tendon and back problems, abscessing, and very low hoof quality with the shoed horses. These conditions stopped after they transitioned to barefooting.
