Frequently Asked Questions

How does Hawaii's humidity affect my horse's hooves?
High humidity softens hoof walls over time, making them more prone to cracking, flaring, and losing shoe traction. Regular trimming and proper shoeing schedules help maintain hoof integrity despite the wet conditions.
What is the difference between cold shoeing and custom forge work?
Cold shoeing uses commercially made shoes that are bent and shaped without heat to fit your horse's foot. Custom forge work involves heating metal and shaping it from scratch or heavily modifying a shoe to match unusual hoof geometry.
How often should my horse be seen by a farrier in Hawaii?
Most horses do well on a 6 to 8 week schedule, though Hawaii's soft pasture conditions can cause faster growth that pushes that closer to every 5 to 6 weeks. Your farrier will recommend a schedule based on your horse's individual growth rate.
Can draft horses be shod in Hawaii, and are shoes available locally?
Yes, draft horses can be shod here, though their larger hooves often require custom or specially ordered shoe sizes. Allen's custom forge capability means they can shape shoes on-site when standard stock doesn't fit.
What does therapeutic shoeing involve for a horse recovering from injury?
Therapeutic shoeing typically means applying specialized shoes or pads that redistribute weight, reduce pressure on damaged tissue, or correct the angle of the hoof to support healing. It's usually coordinated with your veterinarian to make sure the shoeing plan matches the medical treatment.
Is natural hoof care a good option for horses on Oahu?
It depends on the horse's work level and the terrain they're on regularly. Horses spending most of their time on soft grass may do well barefoot with proper trimming, while those working on harder surfaces may need shoes for protection.
