Frequently Asked Questions

Does Edwards Horseshoeing work with horses that have active laminitis?
Yes, laminitis treatment is one of their listed services. It's best to have your veterinarian involved as well, since farrier and vet often work together to create a shoeing plan that supports the horse's recovery alongside any medical treatment.
What is natural hoof care and is it right for my horse?
Natural hoof care refers to trimming the hoof to promote balance and strength without adding metal shoes, often following principles derived from studying wild horse hooves. Whether it's suitable for your horse depends on their workload, footing, and individual hoof quality, which Edwards can assess during a consultation.
What's the difference between cold shoeing and custom forge work?
Cold shoeing uses pre-made stock shoes that are bent slightly to fit at room temperature, while custom forge work involves heating metal and shaping it specifically to match your horse's hoof. Horses with unusual hoof shapes or those needing therapeutic modifications often benefit from a fully custom forged shoe.
How often will my gaited horse need to be shod?
Most gaited horses on a regular shoeing schedule are reset every six to eight weeks, though that can vary based on hoof growth rate and how much work the horse is doing. Gaited breeds sometimes need more frequent adjustments early on while the farrier dials in the right balance for that horse's gait.
Can Edwards come out to my farm in the Brunswick area?
Edwards Horseshoeing operates as a mobile farrier service, meaning they come to your location rather than requiring you to haul your horse somewhere. Make sure you have a safe, dry, well-lit area available for the work since good footing and light make a real difference for both the horse and the farrier.
How should I prepare my horse for a farrier visit?
Have your horse caught and ready before the farrier arrives, and make sure their legs and hooves are reasonably clean since mud and packed debris slow things down. If your horse is known to be difficult about having their feet handled, let Edwards know ahead of time so they can plan accordingly.
