Frequently Asked Questions

What are glue-on shoes and when does my horse need them?
Glue-on shoes are attached with specialized adhesive rather than nails, making them ideal for horses with damaged hoof walls that can't hold a nail securely. They're also useful for foals, horses recovering from hoof injuries, or any horse that's too sensitive for traditional nailing.
How is laminitis treatment different from regular shoeing?
Laminitis treatment focuses on relieving painful pressure on the coffin bone and supporting the hoof's internal structures as they heal. It often involves specific shoe types like heart bar shoes, deep trimming adjustments, and frequent follow-up visits to track recovery.
How quickly can I get emergency farrier service in Grand Junction?
Response times vary depending on current workload and the severity of the situation, but emergency calls are prioritized over routine appointments. It's best to call as soon as you notice a problem so the farrier can assess urgency and get to you as fast as possible.
Does the dry Colorado climate affect how often my horse needs to be shod?
Yes, dry conditions can cause hooves to become brittle and crack, which sometimes means more frequent attention than the typical six-to-eight-week schedule. Your farrier can recommend a maintenance interval based on your horse's individual hoof quality and workload.
Should I work with my vet and farrier together for a horse with hoof disease?
Absolutely. Conditions like laminitis, white line disease, or navicular syndrome benefit from a coordinated approach between your veterinarian and farrier. Brown's Farrier Service can communicate directly with your vet to make sure the shoeing plan supports whatever medical treatment is underway.
Can glue-on shoes be used on a horse that's actively competing?
Yes, many performance horses use glue-on shoes successfully in competition. The key is using the right adhesive and shoe type for the discipline, and making sure the bond is checked before major events.
