Frequently Asked Questions

What does hoof reconstruction actually involve?
Hoof reconstruction uses composite resins, fiberglass, or acrylic materials to rebuild missing or severely damaged sections of hoof wall. It allows the farrier to create a stable foundation for a shoe when there isn't enough natural hoof wall to nail into safely.
How is performance shoeing different from standard shoeing?
Performance shoeing accounts for the specific physical demands of a horse's sport or job. A dressage horse might need shoes that encourage collection, while a hunter needs a shoe that promotes clean movement and safe jumping takeoff. Weight, breakover, and traction all get considered.
Is cold shoeing less effective than hot shoeing?
Not necessarily. Cold shoeing works well for horses whose hooves fit standard shoe shapes reasonably well. The main advantage of hot shoeing is the ability to customize shoe shape more precisely, which matters more for horses with unusual conformation or complex corrective needs.
My horse lost a large chunk of hoof wall. What are my options?
Depending on severity, hoof reconstruction may allow the farrier to rebuild the wall using composite materials and restore the horse to work faster than waiting for natural regrowth. Your vet should also evaluate the case, especially if there's any concern about underlying structures.
How do I know if my horse needs corrective trimming vs. a regular trim?
Signs that corrective work might be needed include uneven hoof wear, persistent stumbling, flared hoof walls, or a vet flagging imbalance during an exam. Your farrier can assess during a visit and recommend whether standard maintenance or a corrective approach makes more sense.
Are there specific shoeing considerations for horses competing on grass vs. sand footing?
Yes. Grass footing typically requires more traction than arena sand, so studs or a different shoe profile might be recommended for horses competing outdoors. Your farrier should know your show schedule so they can plan the right setup ahead of each event.
