Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between hot shoeing and cold shoeing?
Hot shoeing involves heating the metal shoe in a forge so it can be shaped precisely to match each individual hoof before being fitted. Cold shoeing uses pre-made shoes that are adjusted without heat, which works fine for many horses but doesn't allow the same level of customization.
My horse is a Tennessee Walker. Does that require a specialist farrier?
Gaited breeds like Tennessee Walkers often need a farrier with specific experience in how shoe weight, length, and breakover angle affect gait quality. The wrong shoeing can break up a horse's natural gait or cause long-term soundness problems, so it's worth finding someone who works with gaited horses regularly.
What are glue-on shoes, and when are they recommended?
Glue-on shoes attach to the hoof using adhesive rather than nails, making them ideal for horses with hoof wall damage, thin or brittle walls, or those recovering from surgery where nail holes aren't appropriate. They can also be used on foals or horses in certain therapeutic situations.
How often does my horse need to be shod in the Fort Worth area?
Most shod horses in this region need a reset or new shoes every six to eight weeks. Texas summers and dry soil conditions can cause hooves to harden or crack faster, so your farrier may adjust that schedule based on what they observe.
What does therapeutic shoeing actually involve?
Therapeutic shoeing is designed to relieve pain or correct a mechanical problem in the hoof or lower limb. It can involve specialized shoe shapes, pads, wedges, or bar shoes to change how weight is distributed across the hoof and support healing.
Can I request natural hoof care instead of traditional shoeing?
Yes, natural hoof care focuses on trimming and balancing the hoof without applying shoes, allowing the horse to go barefoot. It works well for many horses depending on their workload, terrain, and individual hoof quality, and Allen's can help you evaluate whether it's the right choice for your horse.
