Frequently Asked Questions

What makes corrective trimming different from a regular hoof trim?
A standard trim removes excess growth and maintains the existing shape of the hoof. Corrective trimming actively changes the angles and balance of the hoof to address problems like flaring, uneven heel height, or poor breakover, which can affect how a horse moves and where stress falls on the joints.
My mare is a Belgian draft. Can you handle a horse her size?
Draft horse shoeing is part of the regular service menu here, so large breeds are not a problem. The farrier has the equipment and experience to work safely with drafts, including fitting the heavier, wider shoes these horses require.
Is natural hoof care suitable for horses that are ridden regularly?
Many horses ridden regularly do well barefoot, especially those on softer footing or lighter work schedules. The farrier will evaluate your horse's sole thickness and overall hoof quality before recommending a barefoot program, and some horses need a transition period before they're comfortable without shoes.
How do I know if my horse needs hoof reconstruction vs. a standard trim?
Hoof reconstruction is typically needed when there's visible wall loss, cracking that reaches the sensitive laminae, or damage from white line disease or a hoof abscess. If you're seeing chunks missing from the wall or significant separation at the white line, reach out so the farrier can assess whether reconstruction is the right step.
Are farrier services in Franklin affected by seasonal hoof changes?
Yes, Tennessee's wet springs and dry summers both affect hoof condition. Wet conditions can soften the hoof wall and contribute to white line issues, while dry spells cause cracking and brittleness. Your farrier may adjust the trimming interval or recommend a hoof conditioner based on the season.
Can a farrier work alongside my veterinarian on a hoof issue?
Absolutely, and it's encouraged for anything beyond routine maintenance. Farriers and vets frequently collaborate on cases involving laminitis, navicular syndrome, or post-surgical recovery. If your vet has already diagnosed a condition, sharing that information with your farrier helps them choose the right trimming or shoeing approach.
