Of course the proponents of shoes say - they aren't in those conditions - plus the work they are doing - being ridden, etc. makes their hooves wear differently than if they were out roaming free.

Yes, that's what I say! Wild mustangs probably often go lame too.... and suffer the pain or get eaten. Mustangs don't live and work into their 20s or 30s either.... I think a horse in the wild is lucky to make 10.

Exactly, just what I was saying:)
