Frequently Asked Questions

What are glue-on shoes and when are they used?
Glue-on shoes are attached using adhesive rather than nails, making them ideal for horses with brittle, thin, or damaged hoof walls that can't hold traditional nails without cracking further. They're also used during rehabilitation when the hoof needs protection but can't tolerate the trauma of nailing.
When should foals first get their hooves trimmed?
Most farriers recommend a foal's first trim between four and eight weeks of age, though some cases warrant attention sooner if limb deviation or hoof flares are present at birth. Early intervention gives the best chance of guiding proper development before the bones and soft tissues fully set.
How does therapeutic shoeing differ from standard performance shoeing?
Therapeutic shoeing prioritizes comfort and soundness over athletic performance, using shoe shapes, pads, and angles specifically chosen to reduce stress on affected structures. Performance shoeing is about optimizing movement for a healthy horse, while therapeutic work is about keeping a compromised horse comfortable and functional.
Can hoof reconstruction save a horse that might otherwise be put down?
In some cases, yes. When severe injury or disease has destroyed a large portion of the hoof wall, reconstruction can rebuild enough structure to support the horse while new hoof grows in. The outcome depends on the extent of the damage, the horse's overall health, and how consistently follow-up care is maintained.
How do I manage a horse's hooves between farrier visits in Ohio winters?
Ohio winters bring mud, ice, and frozen ground, all of which can affect hoof condition. Keep stalls and paddocks as dry as possible, apply hoof moisturizer when conditions are very dry and cold, and check hooves regularly for packed snow or ice that can cause bruising or slipping.
What is natural hoof care and how does it work alongside therapeutic services?
Natural hoof care focuses on maintaining hoof form through trimming techniques that reflect how wild horses self-maintain on varied terrain. It can be paired with therapeutic goals when a horse needs structural support without the restriction of metal shoes, though it requires careful monitoring to ensure the hoof stays healthy without added protection.
