Ten Year Predictions
for
The Barefoot Movement


Send This Article To A Friend


Ten years from now, I predict a good many farriers will not only be doing the "barefoot trim", but tout that they always supported it.

Ten years from now, I predict most upscale vets will have a "Strasser Type Trimmer" on the payroll to quickly assist navicular, club footed, laminitic and foundered horses.

Ten years from now, I predict 95% of all "back yard pleasure horses" will be kept barefoot.

Ten years from now, I predict roping, barrel, and race horses will be allowed the choice of running barefooted, and as more and more of them win money and have longer performance careers, the field will grow.

Ten years from now, horse museums will house metal atrocities called therapeutic shoes on their walls, and people will look at them in disgust and amusement that man could have been so ignorant of how the foot actually works that they would attempt to cure those ills with shoes, knowing what nature could heal much quicker and better left on its own.

Ten years from now, 10,000 trimmers will have saved 1,000,000 horses from retirement and/or death by giving them healthy feet.


Shoeless, Not Clueless!!!
