Frequently Asked Questions

What is natural hoof care, and is it right for my horse?
Natural hoof care means trimming the hoof to encourage its natural shape and function, often without applying metal shoes. It works well for horses with healthy hooves that aren't in heavy performance work, but it isn't the right fit for every horse or every terrain.
How does Wyoming's climate affect my horse's hooves?
Cold winters and dry summers in Wyoming can cause hooves to become brittle or crack, while wet spring conditions can soften the hoof wall and make it more vulnerable to damage. Regular trimming and proper nutrition help manage these seasonal changes.
What are the signs my horse might have laminitis?
Common signs include reluctance to walk, a visible pulse in the foot, heat in the hooves, and a horse that shifts weight off its front feet. If you notice any of these, contact both your veterinarian and your farrier as soon as possible.
How long does hoof reconstruction take to complete?
Hoof reconstruction isn't a single visit fix. Depending on how much hoof wall is missing, the process can take several months of regular appointments as the new hoof wall grows in and the repair material is gradually replaced.
How often should I schedule farrier visits for a performance horse?
Most performance horses in active work need farrier attention every four to six weeks to keep shoes properly fitted and hooves balanced. Waiting too long between visits can lead to lost shoes, imbalanced movement, and increased injury risk.
Can I be present during my horse's farrier appointment?
Yes, and it's actually encouraged, especially for your first visit or if your horse has known behavioral issues. Your presence can help keep the horse calm, and it's a good opportunity to ask questions about what the farrier observes.
