Horses can limp for many reasons. Some horses require shoes and others do not. Horses doing work harder on their feet, like jumpers, may require shoes while others may not. If a horse is limping, it is not necessarily because they need shoes and do not have them. This is not to say that foot injuries or soreness cannot come from not being shod, it's just not always the cause.
