Clinician John Lyons hasn’t shod his horses in 10 years; other natural horsemanship advocates are also embracing barefootedness. “You don’t need shoes just because you ride a horse, and leaving shoes off is ideal for forming a healthier, stronger foot,” says Lyons. (Horse & Rider Feb, 2006)

Clinton Anderson is also an advocate for barefoot. He has hosted Pete Ramey, nationally known barefoot trimmer, several times on RFD specials.
