Frequently Asked Questions

When should I start trimming my foal's hooves?
Most farriers recommend a foal's first trim around 4 to 6 weeks of age, though this depends on how the hooves are developing. Early intervention can correct minor imbalances before they affect leg alignment and movement.
What's the difference between cold shoeing and hot shoeing?
Cold shoeing means fitting and shaping a pre-made shoe without heating it, while hot shoeing involves heating the metal to shape it more precisely. Cold shoeing is faster and works well for horses with average hoof shapes, while hot shoeing allows for more exact customization.
How do I know if my horse needs emergency farrier attention?
Signs that can't wait include a completely pulled shoe with exposed sole, a hoof crack that's deep or spreading, or visible lameness that started after a shoeing-related event. Contact Lee Hoof Care Services at (836) 555-6714 if you're unsure whether something qualifies as urgent.
Do gaited horses need special shoes?
Yes. Breeds like Tennessee Walkers and Rocky Mountain Horses have distinct movement patterns that require specific shoe weights, lengths, and angles to support their natural gait. A farrier without experience in gaited breeds can unintentionally disrupt the movement quality owners work hard to develop.
How long does a typical shoeing appointment take?
A standard four-shoe appointment usually takes between 45 minutes and 90 minutes depending on the horse's behavior and the complexity of the work. Foal trims or simple barefoot trims on cooperative horses can be quicker.
What should I do to prepare my horse before the farrier arrives?
Have your horse caught, cleaned up, and in a dry, level area with good lighting before the appointment. If your horse has known handling issues around their feet, letting the farrier know ahead of time helps everyone stay safe and makes the visit go smoother.
