Mixing my measuring systems here - imperial and metric.
But Rubi did a 10km ride yesterday evening with naked feet - walk, trot and canter - and about 7 - 8km of that was on the lanes so tarmac rather than dirt track. He was also pretty much rock crunching over any stones that we encountered. So, his feet are getting there!
Will be interesting to see what happens in winter once the wetter weather arrives, but we have flagstones ordered for the barn area to give them more dry hardstanding. I started him on magnesium oxide supplementation about 4 weeks ago and have been using a hoof hardener on his feet too. With the dry, hot weather we've had, his feet have really toughened up. All I have to do for this trim after his 10km storm-athon, is extend his naturally worn mustang roll around his toes and trim a tiny little bit of flare off the inner wall on his left hind. The rest I can leave up to him.
