About Davis Horseshoeing

Davis Horseshoeing is located in Green Bay, Wisconsin, a region where horse ownership ranges from family hobby farms and 4-H operations to working draft horses and competitive equestrian programs. Northeast Wisconsin's climate brings cold winters, spring mud seasons, and varied terrain that test hooves year-round. Davis offers an unusually broad service lineup that includes draft horse shoeing, custom forge work, natural hoof care, foal trimming, and emergency services. That kind of range makes them a practical choice for equestrian facilities and individual owners across the Green Bay area who don't want to manage multiple farriers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is custom forge work and when does a horse need it?
Custom forge work means building a shoe from raw steel stock to exact specifications rather than modifying a manufactured shoe. It's used when a horse has an unusual hoof shape, needs a therapeutic design that doesn't exist commercially, or competes at a level where precise fit makes a meaningful difference.
Why is early foal trimming important?
Foals grow fast, and hoof imbalances that develop in the first weeks of life can affect limb alignment and joint development if left uncorrected. Early trimming by an experienced farrier gives the foal the best chance of growing up with correct structure and avoiding preventable soundness problems.
How does Wisconsin's spring mud season affect hoof health?
Prolonged exposure to wet, muddy conditions softens hoof walls and soles, increasing the risk of thrush and hoof wall separation. Keeping paddocks as dry as possible and maintaining regular farrier appointments through the mud season helps limit the damage.
What kinds of emergencies does a farrier handle versus a vet?
Farriers handle hoof-specific emergencies like lost shoes, severe cracks, or exposed sensitive structures, while vets manage pain, infection, and systemic issues. In a serious situation, you'll often need both making the call together rather than choosing one or the other.
Are there specific hoof care needs for draft horses in a cold climate?
Draft horses in Wisconsin winters can benefit from traction-enhancing additions to their shoes, like studs or borium, to prevent slipping on ice. Their larger hoof mass also means freeze-related cracking and chipping can be more severe, making consistent care especially important through the cold months.
How do I find the right shoeing interval for my horse?
The right interval depends on hoof growth rate, the horse's workload, and what type of footing they live and work on. Most horses fall somewhere between 6 and 8 weeks, but your farrier can give you a more specific recommendation after seeing your horse's growth pattern over a couple of visits.
