  1. I use a combination depending on the horse, on one of the horses it is a combo of boots on the front, shoes on the back some go barefoot and some boots all around. It stays the same all year round because I use the protection for the rocky areas we ride and that seems to not change.

  2. I have some horses that are barefoot all year long. The ones I use on the road however get shoes with drill tech on them.
