Horses don't necessarily need to be shod. If the horse has a strong hoof and doesn't wear it down faster than it can grow out then the horse would most likely be best without shoes. A barefoot horse still needs it's hooves trimmed every 4 to 8 weeks though. If however the horse needs shoes for traction or therapeutic reasons then try to go with the lightest most comfortable shoe you can find. Many people only shoe the front feet. If however you don't compete, but worry about your barefoot horse getting sore you can buy hoof boots, which are like sneakers or hiking boots for horses to use when you ride out.
