shod
Not going barefoot
Shod is the past tense and past participle of shoe, meaning fitted with shoes—almost always referring to horses rather than people.
A horse that has been shod has had horseshoes nailed to its hooves by a farrier.
The word appears in compounds: a well-shod horse, roughshod (shod with shoes having projecting nails).
To ride roughshod over someone is to treat them with harsh disregard.
