For years all my horses were shod and I then got a New Forester who had never been shod. She was trimmed by my farrier and never had a problem. In 2012 one of my Arab mares was diagnosed with Navicular and I went down the medication and remedial shoeing, then after other issues I took her shoes off (June 2013) and she was trimmed by my farrier. To start with things were fine but then she started to be footy so I asked a lady who is a EP to come and see her. The mare is due to be trimmed again on Monday and after weeks of walking 5 days with boots and remedial pads and one day totally bare foot she is looking sounder. Her feet look good and healthy and she is happy.
I have nothing against my farrier but the EP has done a better job for my mare. If I was to go down the lines again of having a horse Bare foot I would always use an EP .
