Frequently Asked Questions

What is laminitis and how does therapeutic shoeing help?
Laminitis is a painful inflammatory condition affecting the sensitive tissue inside the hoof, often triggered by diet, stress, or illness. Therapeutic shoeing helps by repositioning the hoof to reduce pressure on the damaged tissue and support the coffin bone, which is critical during the recovery process.
How often does a horse with hoof reconstruction needs to be seen?
Horses undergoing hoof reconstruction typically need more frequent visits than the standard six-to-eight week cycle, often every four weeks or less depending on how fast the hoof is growing and how well the repair material is holding. Your farrier will set a schedule based on your horse's specific condition.
Can a mobile farrier handle performance horses the same as a traditional shop?
Yes, a skilled mobile farrier brings all the tools needed for performance work directly to your barn, including the equipment for hot shoeing and custom modifications. The advantage is that your horse stays in a familiar environment, which can actually make the process easier for high-strung sport horses.
What should I do to prepare my horse before the farrier arrives?
Have your horse clean, dry, and easily accessible, ideally in a flat, well-lit area with good footing. It also helps to have any veterinary notes or X-rays available if your horse has an ongoing hoof condition.
How do I know if my horse needs performance shoeing versus a basic shoe?
Basic shoeing provides general hoof protection, while performance shoeing is matched to the specific athletic demands of your horse's discipline, affecting breakover, traction, and weight distribution. If your horse is competing or working hard on varied terrain, a conversation with your farrier about performance options is worthwhile.
Does laminitis treatment require veterinary involvement as well?
In most cases, yes. Laminitis is a medical condition that requires veterinary diagnosis, often including X-rays to see exactly how the coffin bone has shifted. The farrier then works from that information to apply the appropriate shoeing or trimming protocol.
