Frequently Asked Questions

What is natural hoof care and how is it different from a regular trim?
Natural hoof care takes its cues from how wild horses' hooves wear naturally, aiming for a trim that encourages proper landing and movement without artificial support from shoes. It's more involved than a standard maintenance trim because it considers the whole hoof capsule shape and how it interacts with the horse's posture and movement.
Is Princeton, NJ a good area for keeping a barefoot horse?
Central New Jersey's mix of grass pastures and soft trail surfaces can work well for barefoot horses, depending on the individual animal's hoof quality and workload. Horses ridden frequently on gravel roads or hard-packed arenas may need more conditioning time or protective boots to stay comfortable without shoes.
What should I do if my horse loses a shoe the night before a show?
Call your farrier immediately and explain the situation. Many farriers, including those offering emergency services, can prioritize an urgent visit for a competition horse, especially if you're a regular client. In the meantime, keep the horse off hard or wet surfaces to protect the exposed hoof.
How does performance shoeing help a dressage or hunter horse specifically?
For dressage horses, shoeing can affect stride length, engagement, and the horse's ability to step under itself correctly. Hunter horses benefit from shoeing that provides grip on turf and allows a clean, consistent breakover that keeps the front legs moving freely over fences.
How long does it take to transition a horse to natural hoof care?
A full transition to barefoot living typically takes three to twelve months, depending on the horse's hoof quality, diet, and how much work they're in. During that time, more frequent trimming appointments help guide the shape of the hoof as it adapts.
Can Lee Farrier Co. work alongside my veterinarian on a lameness case?
Yes, farrier and veterinary collaboration is often essential in lameness cases, especially when shoeing changes are part of the treatment plan. A farrier who communicates openly with your vet produces better outcomes than one who works in isolation from the rest of your horse's care team.
