Frequently Asked Questions

Does Johnson Farrier Services treat horses with laminitis?
Yes, laminitis treatment is one of their listed services. This typically involves working closely with your veterinarian to develop a shoeing plan that reduces pressure on the affected structures and supports recovery over time.
What is custom forge work and do I need it for my horse?
Custom forge work means the farrier shapes metal shoes on-site using heat and a forge, rather than using pre-made stock shoes. It's especially useful for horses with irregular hoof shapes, large breeds like drafts, or horses needing therapeutic modifications that standard shoes can't provide.
Can you shoe gaited horses like Tennessee Walkers or Paso Finos?
Yes, gaited horse shoeing is specifically listed among their services. Gaited breeds require careful attention to hoof angle and weight distribution to maintain their natural movement without creating strain.
How often does a horse in the Rochester area need to be shod?
Most horses need attention every six to eight weeks, though that can shift depending on the season, hoof growth rate, and workload. New York winters can affect footing and hoof condition, so your farrier may recommend adjustments to your schedule in colder months.
Is barefoot trimming a good option for my horse?
Barefoot trimming works well for many horses, particularly those with healthy hooves who aren't doing heavy work on hard surfaces. The farrier can evaluate your horse's conformation and lifestyle to help you decide whether going barefoot or adding shoes makes more sense.
Do they work with draft horses in addition to light breeds?
Draft horse shoeing is listed as one of their core services. Working with drafts requires heavier shoe stock, different nailing patterns, and more physical effort, so it's worth confirming that your farrier has hands-on experience with large breeds before booking.
