Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as a farrier emergency and when should I call Baker's emergency line?
A lost shoe before a competition, a severe hoof crack that's causing lameness, or a shoe that's twisted and pressing into the hoof all qualify as emergencies. It's always better to call and describe the situation so the farrier can advise whether it needs same-day attention.
Is natural hoof care better than traditional shoeing for my horse?
It depends on the horse's use, hoof quality, and living conditions. Horses with strong hooves that aren't doing heavy work on abrasive surfaces often do well barefoot. A farrier assessment can help determine whether your horse is a good candidate.
Can therapeutic shoeing really help a horse with laminitis?
Therapeutic shoeing is an important part of laminitis management and is most effective when done in coordination with your veterinarian. Specific shoe types and angles can reduce pressure on the coffin bone and improve comfort during recovery.
How does gaited horse shoeing differ from shoeing a quarter horse?
Gaited breeds have movement patterns that are directly influenced by hoof angle and shoe weight, so small changes can have a big effect on gait quality. A farrier experienced with gaited horses understands how to shoe for the specific gait each breed and owner is aiming for.
How do I know if my horse needs therapeutic shoeing versus standard shoeing?
Signs like uneven wear, frequent stumbling, reluctance to move, or a veterinary diagnosis of navicular disease or laminitis are all reasons to discuss therapeutic options. Your vet and farrier should work together on cases like these.
Does Baker Farrier Co. work with veterinarians on hoof-related soundness issues?
Farriers who offer therapeutic services typically maintain working relationships with local vets. When a horse's lameness has a diagnosed cause, coordinated care between a vet and a farrier almost always produces better outcomes than either working alone.
