Frequently Asked Questions

Does Edwards Farrier Services work with horses that have navicular disease?
Yes, navicular support shoeing is one of their listed specialties. This typically involves using egg bar shoes, wedge pads, or other configurations to shift weight-bearing away from the navicular area and reduce pain during movement.
How early should foals start getting hoof trims?
Most farriers recommend evaluating foals within the first few weeks of life, especially if there are any limb or hoof alignment concerns. Early trimming can correct minor deviations before they become structural problems as the foal grows.
What's the difference between custom forge work and standard shoeing?
Standard shoeing fits a pre-made shoe to the hoof, sometimes with minor adjustments. Custom forge work means the farrier heats and shapes raw steel specifically for that horse's foot, which gives a more precise fit and is especially useful for horses with unusual hoof shapes or therapeutic needs.
How often do performance horses need to be reshod?
Most performance horses are on a five to seven week schedule, though it depends on the discipline, footing, and how quickly the horse's hooves grow. Horses competing frequently or working on hard or abrasive surfaces often need more frequent attention.
Can Edwards handle draft horses alongside lighter breeds?
Draft horse shoeing is specifically listed as a service, so yes. Working with drafts requires different tools, heavier stock, and more physical effort than shoeing a standard light breed, so not every farrier offers it.
Is therapeutic shoeing something that requires a vet referral?
Not always, but for serious lameness issues it's strongly recommended. A farrier and veterinarian working together can coordinate imaging, diagnosis, and a shoeing plan that addresses the underlying cause rather than just the symptoms.
