I know there has been one no hind shoes winner at Kee this past week, I think two.
If the horses are young (2-year-olds) some trainers have said publically discussing synthetics that on the artificial surfaces, they don't want to put hind shoes on youngsters, for hoof health, until the horse really needs it. That depends upon the quality of the individual horses hoof, obviously. Want to add that "barefoot" has been a thing with some horse people for about 20 years now, in all disciplines - but it's really hard to hold a hoof together if the horse is in any kind of serious work in any sport. Even pasture horses that are unshod need hoof trims every 6 weeks or so.
