They specialize in draft horse shoeing and therapeutic work, two services that require serious hands-on experience. If you're managing a working horse or dealing with a chronic hoof issue, having a Chattanooga-based farrier who knows the terrain and hoof demands of this region matters.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you shoe draft horses regularly, or is that an occasional service?
Draft horse shoeing is one of the core specialties here, not a rare request. The farrier has the tools and experience to handle larger breeds safely and correctly, including fitting heavier stock shoes to Belgians, Percherons, and similar breeds.
What's the difference between cold shoeing and hot shoeing?
Cold shoeing means the farrier shapes a pre-made shoe without heating it, relying on physical tools to bend the metal to fit. Hot shoeing involves heating the shoe in a forge, which allows more precise shaping and a better fit, especially for horses with unusual hoof angles.
My horse has laminitis. Can therapeutic shoeing actually help?
Therapeutic shoeing is specifically designed to reduce pressure on sensitive structures and improve blood flow in affected hooves. It won't cure laminitis on its own, but combined with your vet's treatment plan, the right shoe and pad setup can significantly improve comfort and recovery outcomes.
How often does a horse need to be shod or trimmed in the Chattanooga area?
Most horses do well on a 6 to 8 week schedule, though younger horses and those in heavy work sometimes need attention every 5 weeks. Tennessee's climate and terrain, particularly if your horse is on rocky trails around Chattanooga, can wear hooves faster and may push that timeline shorter.
What does hoof reconstruction involve, and how long does it take?
Hoof reconstruction uses composite materials or specialty products to rebuild sections of hoof wall that have broken away, rotted, or been damaged by white line disease. The process can take multiple visits depending on how much material has been lost, and the farrier monitors regrowth at each appointment.
Is natural hoof care appropriate for a horse that's currently shod?
Transitioning a shod horse to a barefoot natural hoof care program is possible, but it takes time and careful management. The farrier will evaluate sole thickness, wall quality, and your horse's workload before recommending whether a transition makes sense or whether staying shod is the better option.
