I was just in Arizona at a ranch that does trail rides. Their 100+ head only have fronts on since that is where they carry a majority of their weight. All of their back feet looked amazing barefoot. I'll only shoe my colts in the front until I feel they need it when they start running.

I had fronts only on my big gelding for awhile bc he had thin soles but bc of his turning style we added back shoes and works for him. I also have a 9 yr old gelding, i just started running this year, who has NEVER had a set of shoes and has the best feet ever on a horse. My farrier mentioned shoes once and I just don't feel he needs them. He does great without. I get him trimmed every 4-6 weeks.
