Frequently Asked Questions

How often does my horse need to see a farrier?
Most horses need a visit every six to eight weeks, though active performance horses or those with corrective needs may require more frequent attention. Your farrier will give you a schedule recommendation based on how fast your horse's hooves grow and how hard they're working.
What's the difference between cold shoeing and hot shoeing?
Cold shoeing means a pre-made shoe is fitted and nailed on without heating it first, which works well for straightforward shoeing jobs. Hot shoeing involves heating the shoe in a forge so it can be custom shaped to fit the hoof precisely, offering a more tailored fit.
Can my horse go barefoot instead of wearing shoes?
Many horses do fine barefoot, especially those on softer terrain or with naturally tough hooves. A barefoot trim removes dead wall and shapes the hoof properly, and your farrier can advise whether your horse's workload and hoof quality make shoes necessary.
What counts as a farrier emergency?
Common emergencies include a lost shoe that's left exposed nails, a hoof crack that's spreading, or a horse that's suddenly lame after a shoeing issue. Davis Farrier Services offers emergency farrier services for situations that can't wait for a routine appointment.
Do draft horses need a different kind of farrier?
Yes, draft horses have much larger, heavier hooves that require different tools and techniques than a standard light horse. A farrier with specific draft horse experience is better equipped to handle the physical demands and the unique hoof geometry of breeds like Percherons or Clydesdales.
How should I prepare my horse before the farrier arrives?
Make sure your horse is caught, haltered, and standing in a clean, dry area with good lighting. If your horse has a history of being difficult to handle, give your farrier a heads-up so they can plan accordingly and keep the appointment safe and efficient.
