I have just bought a 4 year old gelding. Currently unshod and his feet are in beautiful condition. I am moving him to a yard where there will be no road riding but plenty of lunging/schooling on sand.

I know there is this new thing where many owners are choosing not to shoe their horses.
I am unexperienced in these things. I haven't owned a horse(except on loan) for 15 years and back then they were all shod.

Can someone give me the ins and outs abut this please.

LOL at rocking horse

Farrier came yesterday and took Fell Henry's shoes off, so we will see how he does.

Had front shoes put back onto our little welsh pony, as he was very tender on his toes without shoes.
