Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as a farrier emergency and when should I call right away?
A lost shoe before an event, a horse that's suddenly lame, or a hoof crack that's spreading quickly all qualify as situations worth an emergency call. Catching these problems fast often prevents more serious and costly damage.
What is hot shoeing and does my horse need it?
Hot shoeing involves heating a metal shoe and shaping it at the forge before fitting it to the hoof while still warm, creating a much more precise fit than cold fitting. Most horses can be shod either way, but horses with irregular hoof shapes or those in corrective programs benefit most from hot shoeing.
How do glue-on shoes work and how long do they last?
Glue-on shoes attach to the hoof using specialized adhesive rather than nails, making them ideal when the hoof wall is too damaged or thin to hold a traditional shoe. They typically last 4 to 6 weeks, similar to nailed shoes, and can be replaced on the same cycle.
My horse has been diagnosed with navicular syndrome. Can a farrier help?
Yes. Specific shoeing changes, including adjusting the hoof angle, using wider-webbed shoes, or adding pads, can significantly reduce the stress placed on the navicular area. Jackson works alongside veterinarians to make sure the farrier plan supports the overall treatment approach.
What is custom forge work and when is it necessary?
Custom forge work means a farrier shapes a shoe from bar stock or modifies a factory shoe using heat and hammering to fit a specific horse's foot exactly. It's most often needed for horses with unusually shaped hooves, corrective cases, or therapeutic applications where standard shoes don't fit well enough.
How do I find a farrier in Rio Rancho who can also work with my vet?
Look for farriers who specifically mention therapeutic or corrective experience, since those providers are most accustomed to collaborating with veterinary professionals. Clear communication between your farrier and vet leads to better outcomes for horses managing lameness or chronic hoof conditions.
