Frequently Asked Questions

What is custom forge work and why would my horse need it?
Custom forge work means the farrier heats raw metal and shapes it specifically to your horse's hoof measurements. It's particularly useful for horses with unusually large or small feet, conformational issues, or those needing therapeutic modifications that stock shoes can't provide.
How do glue-on shoes work, and are they as durable as nailed shoes?
Glue-on shoes attach using a strong adhesive applied directly to the hoof wall, making them ideal for horses with brittle or damaged hooves that don't hold nails well. They're quite durable under normal conditions, though horses in very wet environments or heavy work may need more frequent checks.
When should I call for emergency farrier services?
Call immediately if your horse has thrown a shoe and is showing lameness, if a nail is pressing into the sensitive tissue, or if a shoe has shifted and is causing pressure in the wrong place. Waiting too long on hoof emergencies can lead to soft tissue damage or infection.
Is natural hoof care right for every horse in the Tulsa area?
Not necessarily. Natural hoof care works well for horses in light work on varied terrain, but horses in heavy performance disciplines or those with certain lameness conditions often do better with shoes. A good farrier will assess your specific horse rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.
How often does my horse need to be seen by a farrier?
Most horses need attention every 6 to 8 weeks, though that can vary based on growth rate, activity level, and the time of year. Oklahoma summers can speed up hoof growth, so some horses may need more frequent visits during warmer months.
Can a farrier help if my horse is already showing signs of lameness?
A farrier can identify many hoof-related causes of lameness and make corrective adjustments, but they work best in coordination with your veterinarian for diagnosed conditions. If your horse is acutely lame, a vet exam first helps ensure the farrier's work addresses the right problem.
