“BAREFOOTIN” happens to be my most favorite subject in the world…right up there with endurance riding. In fact, it seems my life now is ridin’, trimmin’, or talkin’ about one or the other.
We maintain about 70 horses at Cypress Trails Equestrian Center in Humble (near Houston), Texas. Our focus and obsession is endurance, but since not one of us has figured out how to make a living at it, my horses have to work for a living by taking our customers on trail rides. Several of the horses are board horses and some of those help their owners by serving as riding horses for our daily trail rides. Oh… did I mention that each and every one of these horses is barefoot.
They live outside with other horses and they all manage to get their feet immersed in water every day. Those are the three requirements for successful barefooting. The correct physiological trim, living naturally and feet immersion in water, (replicating wild horses going into ponds and streams to drink).
Now if you had told me prior to September 2000, that I would even consider leaving a competing Endurance mount barefoot, running a 50 miler, or ohmygosh, a 100 miler, I would have told you that you were absolutely insane!!!!
