Dave I will disagree with you on the feeding issue. If they quit then I will just turn the horses out with the beef cows and let them eat round bales like the cattle.
The blowing the horn is to let me and the wife know they are here. We then watch the barn to make sure they don't have any issues. Plus the girls get on the school bus here so the wife starts their breakfast while they are doing the chores. They also get off the bus here now too. This way they have some one to keep an eye on them until their mother gets home from work.
As for the horses having shoes. We always did even back when there where many work horses here on the farm. Part of the reason is we have limestone bluff rock in many of the pastures around here.

It seems that if the horses are not shod then you have more foot problems here. I have friends that don't have rock pastures and they don't shoe the horses either.
