Kliima kohta:
Many of us live in "horse-unfriendly" climates.  If the annual rainfall where you live is more than about 30 inches (75 cm), the ground is too soft for hooves to get sufficient concussion and wear. This means we have to take extra care to help their feet stay healthy, more than for horses that live in "horse-friendly" climates where the rainfall is less and the ground is hard and dry. A shorter time between trims, the quality of the trim, and the use of hoof boots for riding on rocky trails become extremely important in rainy climates or during rainy times of the year. http://www.barefoothorse.com/

For barefoot riding (without hoof boots), it's usually important that the riding terrain reasonably match the living terrain. For instance, a horse that lives on soft pasture and spends time in a stall can almost always be expected to grow a foot that will comfortably perform in the arena or for light trail work. The same living terrain will rarely forge a hoof that can work on gravel roads and rocky trails. To quote Dr. Bowker, "Bed your horse on the terrain you ride." http://www.hoofrehab.com/ArticlesPDF/Pete%20Ramey%20Q&A.pdf

How the typical "pasture trim" makes horses sore
While some thoughtful farriers are helping their clients go barefoot, others have not yet learned how to do the wild-horse trim, which differs in important ways from the conventional "pasture trim," where
-- The toe callus is trimmed away; then the thin sole cannot protect the coffin (pedal, P3) bone.
-- The bottom of the wall is left flat on the ground, as in preparing for a shoe. A flat wall encourages flaring in the barefoot hoof. Flares are painful, like pulling your fingernail away from your finger.
-- The "pasture trim" often ignores a forward-flared toe, leaving a stretched white line and poor connection to the coffin bone, thus the horse is "sore on gravel" and on rocky trails.
--The forward-flared toe causes late breakover and toe-first landing, leading to "navicular" pain and atrophy of the cushioning structures in the back of the foot.
-- The heels are left long; overloads the "white line" (laminar tissue that connects wall to bone) in the toe area, leading to the hoof capsule migrating upwards on the bony column of the pastern.
-- Frog infection is often ignored; encourages toe-first landing due to frog pain.

Väidetakse, et raudadeta treenimise ebaõnnestumisel on suurteks vaenlasteks inimese poolt loodud asjad nagu tallid, koplid, kummimatid, kõva pinnase vältimine, melass müslides (liigne suhkur), liiga palju noort värsket rohtu (liigne suhkur). Ja kindlasti ei toimi ükski muutus kiiresti, arvestades kui kaua kabi välja kasvab.

Ja veel midagi huvitavat, et panna hobune koplis liikuma:
