I think you have answered your own question but farrier will be able to confirm.

Lots of us can help you but, and I'm not being sarcastic here, it's too difficult to hold a written "conversation" with you if you can't put some grammar into your posts.

How fat is your mare, be brutally honest with yourself? Overweight is a very big cause of natives struggling to go without shoes.

How old is she?

If she is older has she been tested for Cushings?

What is she fed?

I think I have but also she twisted her back so had her back down as that was field injury so I will get shoes on and she if she becomes sound

Do you actually want any advice how to keep your horses shoes off?

Your post 25 on this thread might go a long way towards explaining why she is unhappy without shoes on, unless she has lost weight since.

Did you get 497kg from weigh taping, actually weighing, heart girth measurement....?

Almost 500kg for a 14.1 is huge. She must be hugely overweight and that will be why she is uncomfortable without shoes. Sort her weight and get her comfortable and there's no reason at all she can't be barefoot.

My 14.2 Irish mare is 510kg on weigh bridge and very fit and not fat!

Our first pony was unshod when we got her but soon became footsore as we had gravel track on yard and did a fair bit of roadwork. She was fine once shoes were put on. Hoof boots might be an option too?
