Frequently Asked Questions

How does Hawaii's climate affect my horse's hooves?
The combination of moisture, volcanic rock, and red clay soil in Maui can soften hooves and accelerate wear. Regular trimming and proper shoeing help maintain hoof integrity in these conditions.
What is navicular support shoeing and does my horse need it?
Navicular support shoeing uses egg bar or rocker toe shoes to shift weight away from the heel and ease pressure on the navicular bone. A farrier and vet should evaluate your horse together before recommending this approach.
Can you help a horse that's been diagnosed with laminitis?
Yes, therapeutic shoeing is one of the primary tools for managing laminitis alongside dietary changes and veterinary care. The goal is to rebalance the hoof and reduce rotation pressure on the coffin bone.
When should foals get their first trim?
Most foals benefit from an initial assessment within the first few weeks of life, especially if limb alignment looks uneven. Early corrective trimming can prevent more serious conformational issues as the foal grows.
What counts as a farrier emergency and how quickly can you respond?
A lost shoe before a competition, a cracked hoof that's causing lameness, or a shoe that's twisted into the hoof are all situations that warrant urgent care. Response times vary, but having an emergency contact number on hand is always a good idea.
What's the difference between hot shoeing and cold shoeing?
Hot shoeing involves heating the metal shoe and shaping it to match the hoof precisely before nailing, which gives a better fit. Cold shoeing uses pre-made shoes fitted at room temperature, which works well for horses with standard hoof shapes.
