For instance, someone asked me recently why eventers did not go barefoot - the answer is that many do but this particular person had not realised that there had been barefoot horses at events she had attended. There have been barefoot horses at the nationals in dressage and at many affiliated BE events, I even know of one horses who competed at Hickstead barefoot, so you never know...

Can I ask you a question - have any of the top riders ever spoken to you or sent a horse to you? I can't help but think if someone like Carl or Charlotte competed barefoot (and crucially, explained why) many, many more people would be inclined to. However, I have never seen any top riders (in all disciplines) on barefoot horses.Peggysue123https://www.blogger.com/profile/09607493509269869675noreply@blogger.com
