Frequently Asked Questions

What is glue-on shoeing and when does my horse need it?
Glue-on shoes are applied using an adhesive rather than nails, making them ideal for horses with compromised hoof walls, white line disease, or those in active laminitis recovery. They can also work well for horses on hard footing who need extra protection without the trauma of nail holes.
How early should foals start getting trimmed?
Most farriers recommend a first trim between four and eight weeks of age, depending on how the foal's hooves are developing. Early intervention can correct minor angular limb deviations before they become serious problems.
Can a farrier help with my horse's laminitis, or is that strictly a vet issue?
Laminitis treatment is a team effort. Your vet diagnoses and manages the systemic side, while the farrier addresses breakover, sole relief, and support through specialized trimming and shoeing. The two should communicate directly for the best outcome.
My Tennessee Walking Horse needs shoeing. Does a regular farrier work for gaited breeds?
Gaited horses have specific movement mechanics that affect how shoes are fitted and weighted, so experience with gaited breeds matters. A farrier familiar with gaited shoeing will understand how shoe weight, length, and angle influence the gait rather than disrupt it.
How do I know if my horse needs corrective trimming versus a standard trim?
Signs that corrective work may be needed include uneven hoof wear, flaring walls, a horse that trips frequently, or a vet diagnosis pointing to structural imbalance. Your farrier can assess this at the first visit and explain what they're seeing.
What should I do to prepare for a farrier appointment?
Have your horse haltered and in a clean, dry area with good lighting before the farrier arrives. If your horse has any handling quirks or medical history the farrier should know about, mention those upfront so the appointment goes smoothly for everyone.
