Frequently Asked Questions

What is glue-on shoeing and when would my horse need it?
Glue-on shoes are attached using specialized adhesive rather than nails, making them ideal for horses with weak, cracked, or thin hoof walls that can't hold traditional nails securely. They're also used for horses recovering from hoof injuries where drilling nail holes would cause further damage.
How often should my horse be trimmed or shod in the Little Rock area?
Most horses in Arkansas need farrier attention every six to eight weeks, though this varies based on growth rate, workload, and whether the horse is shod or barefoot. Hot, humid summers in central Arkansas can actually speed up hoof growth, so some horses may need more frequent visits during that time.
What does corrective trimming involve?
Corrective trimming is the practice of removing hoof material in a calculated way to improve the alignment of the hoof capsule with the horse's leg and pastern. It's often recommended for horses with flared walls, underrun heels, or gait issues, and it typically takes several trim cycles before the full effect is visible.
Can gaited horses be shod the same way as non-gaited breeds?
Not exactly. Gaited breeds have distinct movement patterns, and shoeing affects the timing and quality of their gait. A farrier experienced with gaited horses will adjust weight, angle, and shoe length to enhance or protect the natural gait rather than interfere with it.
Do I need to do anything to prepare my horse before the farrier arrives?
Having your horse caught, haltered, and standing in a clean, dry area with decent footing goes a long way toward making the appointment smooth. If your horse has any known handling issues around its feet, mention that when you schedule so the farrier can come prepared.
What is hoof reconstruction and how long does it take to see results?
Hoof reconstruction involves rebuilding a damaged or deteriorated hoof wall using composite materials, which restores structural integrity and gives the farrier something solid to work with. The timeline depends on the severity of the damage, but since hooves grow roughly a third of an inch per month, it can take several months of consistent care before the reconstructed area is fully grown out.
