Frequently Asked Questions

Do you travel to farms outside Bismarck city limits?
Yes, the mobile setup is built for rural calls, including properties in Burleigh County and neighboring areas. Travel fees may apply depending on distance, so it's worth asking when you call to book.
What is natural hoof care and is it right for my horse?
Natural hoof care is a trimming method that shapes the hoof to function more like a wild horse's foot, without adding metal shoes. It works well for horses with healthy hooves doing moderate work, but your horse's lifestyle and condition should guide the decision.
How often should a draft horse be shod?
Draft horses typically need attention every six to eight weeks, similar to lighter breeds, though their larger hooves can grow quickly. Working drafts that spend time on hard surfaces often benefit from more frequent check-ins.
What is cold shoeing and how does it differ from hot shoeing?
Cold shoeing means the farrier shapes and fits shoes without heating them in a forge, using mechanical tools instead. Hot shoeing allows more precise fitting because the heated metal can be adjusted more exactly to match the hoof's shape.
How do North Dakota winters affect my horse's hooves?
Cold, dry winters can cause hooves to become brittle and crack, while wet spring conditions create a different set of challenges. Regular trimming and proper hoof care through the seasonal changes helps prevent serious problems from developing.
What should I have ready before the farrier arrives?
Have your horses caught and tied in a clean, dry area with decent lighting, ideally out of the wind. A flat, hard surface like a concrete pad or firm gravel makes the work faster and easier for everyone involved.
