Frequently Asked Questions

How often should my horse be shod or trimmed in Florida's climate?
Most horses in Florida need farrier attention every 6 to 8 weeks. The wet season can accelerate hoof growth and soften the hoof wall, so some horses may need more frequent visits during summer months.
What is cold shoeing and is it right for my horse?
Cold shoeing means the farrier fits a pre-made shoe to your horse's hoof without heating it in a forge. It works well for horses with average hoof shapes and straightforward needs, though horses with significant conformation issues may benefit more from custom hot-forged shoes.
My horse was diagnosed with laminitis. Can a farrier help with recovery?
Yes, farrier care is a critical part of laminitis recovery. Corrective trimming and supportive shoeing help redistribute weight away from the damaged laminae and support the coffin bone, often in coordination with your veterinarian's treatment plan.
Does my gaited horse need a specialist farrier?
Gaited horses benefit significantly from a farrier who understands how shoeing affects their movement. The wrong trim or shoe can interfere with the natural gait, causing unevenness or discomfort, so experience with breeds like Tennessee Walkers or Paso Finos matters.
What is natural hoof care and how is it different from regular trimming?
Natural hoof care is a trimming approach that models the hoof shape after wild horses, emphasizing balance, concavity, and the mustang roll rather than just leveling the foot. It prioritizes long-term hoof health and is often chosen by owners who prefer to keep their horses barefoot.
How do I know if my horse needs corrective shoeing versus standard shoeing?
Signs that a horse may need corrective work include uneven wear patterns, stumbling, lameness, or a diagnosed conformation issue. A qualified farrier can assess your horse's movement and hoof balance and explain what, if any, corrective approach makes sense.
