Frequently Asked Questions

What causes laminitis and how does shoeing help?
Laminitis involves inflammation of the sensitive laminae inside the hoof, often triggered by dietary changes, metabolic conditions, or excessive work on hard ground. Therapeutic shoeing helps by redistributing weight away from the toe, supporting the frog and sole, and reducing the mechanical forces that worsen the condition.
How long does hoof reconstruction take?
It depends on how much hoof wall was lost and how well the horse's hoof is growing back. Most reconstruction cases require several shoeing cycles, with the farrier reassessing and adjusting the repair material at each visit until enough natural wall has regrown to support a normal shoe.
Should I call a vet or a farrier first when my horse shows signs of laminitis?
Call your vet first, since laminitis is a medical emergency and the vet's assessment will guide the farrier's approach. Once the vet has evaluated the horse and taken any necessary X-rays, the farrier can use that information to apply the right therapeutic shoeing.
What qualifies as a farrier emergency in Boston?
A horse that's acutely lame from a hoof issue, a shoe that's partially torn off and catching on things, or a sudden worsening of a known condition like laminitis all warrant emergency attention. Waiting too long in these situations can turn a manageable problem into a serious one.
How young can foals start receiving hoof care?
Farriers can begin handling foals within the first week or two of life, especially if there are visible limb or hoof deviations present. Early intervention gives the best chance of correcting issues before the foal's joints and bones mature and become less responsive to change.
Do I need to be present when the farrier comes to work on my horse?
For routine visits at a facility with trained staff, you may not need to be there in person. For complex therapeutic or reconstruction cases, it's a good idea to be present so the farrier can explain the treatment plan and answer your questions directly.
