I event my young Tb up to PN level (hope to get to Novice without shoes)
went to
Munstead (light sand/soil),
Iping (sand/soil/hard)
Coomblands/Pulborough (clay)
Borde Hill (BOG!!!)
Rackham (sand/soil),
Tweseldown (heavy/deep sandy going)
I think the key is you RIDE differently without shoes, you see so many horses with shoes/stud slipping and crashing round....ok we might be a tad slower....but we have never slipped....not even in the worst conditions...out hunting or competing....
