I don't know, with those mustang/arab feet, she may never need shoes. Good feet are a God-send!
I think it's remarkable she's done as well as she has, barefoot. We'll see!
I would think if you rode much more then you did last summer, especially if you rode on the gravel roads, you'd have to shoe her. Mustang/arab feet do hold up better the quarter horses tho. I've only had one horse that made it out here barefoot, and that was Cindy's Okie. I still think his advantage was he'd never been shoed. I think once you shoe, you can't stop. I'd keep her barefoot as long as possible, but I still think depending on how much you rode and on what type of ground/rocks you're going over you may have to shoe.
