December is usually a busy - and chaotic - month for everyone. Work parties, well-meaning relatives, and the unavoidable moment you pretend to like yet another slightly lumpy sweater.

Transitioning your horse to a barefoot lifestyle has massive benefits - for both you and your horse. Not only can it improve the overall health of your horse, but there are significant cost-saving factors as well.

 Curious about the transition? Here are five key advantages of embracing a barefoot lifestyle that might just inspire you to make the switch!

Everyone from top equestrian champions to casual trail riders can benefit from the increased precision, and sensitivity of transitioning your horse to barefoot.
