About Evans's Farrier Service

Evans's Farrier Service operates in New York City, a market that most people don't associate with farriery but one that has real, active demand. From the working horses of the NYPD mounted unit to privately owned horses stabled in Queens and Staten Island, NYC's equine population needs consistent, skilled hoof care. This provider handles specialized and emergency work that general farriers often pass on, including glue-on shoes, draft horse shoeing, and gaited breed work. If you manage horses anywhere in the five boroughs or just outside the city, Evans's offers services built for this unique urban and suburban environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are there actually horses in New York City that need farrier services?
Yes, more than most people realize. The NYPD mounted unit, licensed carriage horses in Central Park, and privately owned horses stabled in outer boroughs and just outside the city all require regular hoof care. NYC has a smaller but active equestrian community.
What are glue-on shoes and when are they needed?
Glue-on shoes are attached with adhesive rather than nails, making them ideal for horses whose hoof walls are too damaged, soft, or thin to hold a nail securely. They're also used for foals or horses in certain therapeutic situations where traditional nailing isn't appropriate.
How quickly can Evans's Farrier Service respond to an emergency?
Response time depends on current schedule and your location within the service area. It's worth calling directly to explain the situation, since lost shoes before an event or acute lameness cases are treated with more urgency than routine work.
What kind of shoes do carriage horses in New York City typically need?
Horses working on pavement need shoes with good traction, often featuring a borium coating or calks to grip the surface and reduce slipping. Durability matters too, since hard surfaces wear shoes faster than dirt or grass.
Can you shoe gaited horses in the New York area?
Yes, gaited horse shoeing is listed as a service. Gaited breeds require a farrier who understands how shoe weight and placement affect stride mechanics, and that level of specialty knowledge isn't always available in metro markets.
How should I prepare my horse for a farrier visit in an urban stable setting?
Make sure your horse is tied or handled in a space with firm footing and enough room for the farrier to work safely around all four feet. In urban stables, that sometimes means moving the horse to an aisle or wash stall with better clearance.
