Frequently Asked Questions

Do you shoe draft horses, or only light breeds?
Yes, draft horse shoeing is one of the listed specialties. It's a distinct skill set since draft hooves are significantly larger and require heavier materials and different handling techniques.
At what age should a foal have its first trim?
Most farriers recommend a first evaluation within the first few weeks of life, especially if there are any signs of limb deviation. Early intervention with foal trimming can help correct minor issues before they become structural problems.
What is hot shoeing and is it better than cold shoeing?
Hot shoeing involves heating the metal shoe and shaping it to match the individual hoof before nailing it on. It typically produces a more accurate fit, which matters most for horses with irregular hoof shapes or specific performance demands.
What does natural hoof care involve?
Natural hoof care focuses on trimming the hoof to mimic how it would wear in the wild, without the use of metal shoes. It's a good option for horses with healthy hooves on forgiving terrain, and some owners use it as part of a broader management approach.
How often does my horse need corrective trimming?
The schedule depends on the severity of the imbalance and how quickly your horse's hooves grow. Most corrective programs start with more frequent visits, sometimes every four weeks, and stretch out as the issue improves.
How far in advance do I need to book an appointment?
That varies depending on the time of year and the farrier's current workload. Spring and fall tend to be busier seasons in Delaware, so booking a few weeks ahead is a smart habit, especially for routine shoeing cycles.
