But it appears they were invented sometime in the Middle Ages to protect the hooves of horses used by soldiers to travel over rough terrain, as often the hooves were compromised when horses were kept in stables standing in their own waste. In this day and age most owners continue to keep their horses shod. After all, this has always been customary — can you remember back to a time otherwise? Why do people shoe their horses? The answer is always the same: most horse owners assume that their horse’s hooves are too weak and too sensitive to go unshod.

    ISSUE 86 / March 2018 Your access to all things related to Best of America by Horseback As the weather is breaking, all of us are thinking about places to ride, both new trails and familiar ones. Last month we talked about getting licenses and tags updat- ed, checking Coggins and brakes, but this month I have a different suggestion. I have been blessed to ride in virtually every state, un- der the giant redwoods, in the Yukon, the painted des- sert, the badlands, Old Tombstone, riding along the Rio Grande, following Lewis and Clark’s route, Oregon Trail, Santa Fe Trail, the 3,311 mile Atlantic to Pacific ride and the Mexico to Canada ride, plus the Smokey Mountains, the Blue Ridge Mountains, Belize, Mexico and so much more, but the memories I love the most are who I was riding with. I suggest you reflect on old friends that you have ridden with. Remember those people and those times. I was invited to speak a couple of weeks ago at my close Garry Bass Photography friend’s funeral, Mr. Kenneth Abbott of Georgia. I was flooded with memories of riding together on the American Transcontinental Trail Ride from the Atlantic to the Pacific. For the most part, I found myself reflecting on such great times and riding across the White Sands Dessert or arriving at the Pacific Ocean. If you saw the European documentary on the true meaning of the American western spirit, you saw Kenneth, my fellow riders and me with no words but just a deep understanding of an indescribable bond.
