What about barefooted horses with tender feet? Bowker explains, "It is simply a
matter of 'whatever you ride the horse on is what you should bed the horse on.'
The foot will adapt to whatever environmental surface the horse is standing on.
The problem arises when we bed them on soft surfaces (straw, shavings, rubber
mats, etc.) and then expect them to walk/trot/gallop on rocks.
"There are hundreds of barefoot endurance horses that are housed and trained on hard-packed surfaces (hard dirt, gravel, small rocks, etc.) without tender feet.
The environment is the major determinant of a healthy foot rather than genetics.
Again, it is a matter of common sense, as the foot will adapt to its environment.
However, I do not recommend that horses be kept on cement."
How to Gradually Turn a Bad Foot Into a Good Foot
Bowker recommends the farrier use these trimming techniques conservatively to
gradually turn a bad foot into a good foot and allow the foot time to adjust.
"We do know that such a physiological trim as described here and greater
movement--rather than stall rest--are critically important to producing a good
foot, regardless of the breed of horse."
For example, over the past year, Bowker has received dozens of letters and emails from owners and veterinarians asking about their horses' prognosis with navicular syndrome. Most of these horses have been through all sorts of pads/bar shoes, acupuncture, and pain management therapy, with little or no improvement.
However, with using this "physiological trim" (removal of the shoes and lowering
the heels to get the frog on the ground), the horse owners and veterinarians have
communicated back to Bowker that the feet responded and began to become sound within a short time period (six to eight weeks).

Bowker har dock utalat sig en del om att barfota egentligen är det bästa för hästen därför försöker en del av de mer extrema barfotafolket tolka in sina saker i hans artiklar antingen de finns där eller ej.
