Frequently Asked Questions

What is corrective trimming and which horses benefit from it?
Corrective trimming involves adjusting the angle, length, and balance of the hoof to address growth patterns that are causing movement problems or uneven wear. Horses with conformational quirks, young horses developing bad habits, and animals recovering from injury often benefit most.
Is cold shoeing less effective than hot shoeing?
Not necessarily. Cold shoeing works well when the farrier selects the right pre-formed shoe for the hoof. The advantage of hot shoeing is the ability to shape the shoe precisely at the forge, which matters more for horses with unusual hoof shapes or therapeutic needs.
Does Adams Farrier and Forge treat laminitis cases?
Yes, laminitis treatment is a listed service. Managing laminitis through farriery typically involves modifying the trim angle and applying specialty shoes to reduce strain on the coffin bone, and it works best when coordinated with veterinary oversight.
What breeds of gaited horses are common in the Oklahoma City area?
Tennessee Walking Horses, Missouri Fox Trotters, and Racking Horses are all popular in central Oklahoma. Each has specific shoeing requirements tied to how their gait works, and a farrier experienced with gaited breeds understands those differences.
How do glue-on shoes stay attached, and are they durable?
Glue-on shoes use strong epoxy or cuff-style adhesive systems designed specifically for equine use. They hold up well for most horses in normal work, though horses in very wet conditions or heavy terrain may need more frequent checks than traditionally nailed shoes.
How do I know if my horse needs corrective trimming versus standard maintenance?
Signs that corrective trimming might be needed include uneven hoof wear, a horse that trips or stumbles frequently, visible flaring or dish in the hoof wall, or gait changes your vet hasn't been able to resolve with other treatments. A farrier evaluation is the clearest way to find out.
