Frequently Asked Questions

What is natural hoof care and is it right for my horse?
Natural hoof care focuses on maintaining the hoof in a way that mimics how wild horses wear their feet, often without traditional metal shoes. It works well for horses with healthy hooves on appropriate footing, though horses in heavy work or with certain conditions may still benefit from shoes.
How often does my horse need hoof trimming in Sacramento's climate?
Most horses in the Sacramento area need trimming or shoeing every 6 to 8 weeks. The hot, dry summers can cause hooves to dry out and crack, so a consistent schedule and proper hoof conditioning help keep things in good shape.
My horse was diagnosed with laminitis. Can a farrier help?
Yes, therapeutic farriery is one of the most important parts of laminitis recovery. A farrier experienced in laminitis treatment can apply supportive shoeing or padding to relieve pressure on the sensitive laminae and work alongside your vet to track progress.
What are glue-on shoes and when are they used?
Glue-on shoes are attached with adhesive rather than nails, making them ideal for horses with thin, brittle, or severely damaged hoof walls that can't hold a traditional nail. They're also used on foals or horses recovering from hoof injuries where driving nails would cause further damage.
When should a foal get its first hoof trim?
Most farriers recommend a foal's first evaluation within the first few weeks of life, especially if any limb or hoof deviations are noticed. Early intervention can correct many angular limb deformities before the foal's bones and joints set into a permanent alignment.
How does hoof reconstruction work?
Hoof reconstruction uses specialized acrylic or composite materials to rebuild missing or severely damaged sections of the hoof wall. It's typically done in cases where the hoof has been compromised by abscess, injury, or chronic disease, and it allows the farrier to attach a shoe to a structurally sound surface while the natural hoof grows back.
