Frequently Asked Questions

What is navicular support shoeing and how does it help my horse?
Navicular syndrome causes pain in the back of the hoof, often leading to shortened stride and stumbling. Support shoeing uses shoes with extended heels or specific breakover points to shift how the horse lands and reduce stress on the affected area, which can significantly improve comfort and movement.
When are glue-on shoes a better option than traditional nailed shoes?
Glue-on shoes are typically recommended when a horse's hoof wall is too thin, cracked, or damaged to hold nails securely. They're also useful during hoof reconstruction or when a horse has sole sensitivity that makes nailing painful or risky.
How long does hoof reconstruction take, and will my horse be out of work?
The reconstruction process itself can take one to two hours depending on the extent of damage, but the real recovery timeline depends on how much hoof wall needs to grow back. Many horses can continue light work during reconstruction, though your farrier and vet will guide you on appropriate activity levels.
Is natural hoof care suitable for all horses, or only certain types?
Natural or barefoot hoof care works well for many horses, particularly those with good hoof quality living on varied terrain. Horses in heavy work, competing on hard surfaces, or with existing hoof problems may still need shoes for protection and support. A proper assessment helps determine what's right for your individual horse.
Can Lee Hoof Care Services work on horses visiting TIEC for competitions?
Yes, Tryon-based farriers are well accustomed to supporting horses in town for competitions at the equestrian center. If you're coming in for a show and need emergency work or a pre-competition check, calling ahead with your arrival date is the best approach.
What does custom forge work involve, and is it worth the extra cost?
Custom forge work means the farrier hand-shapes shoes from raw bar stock to match your horse's exact hoof dimensions and needs. It costs more than fitting stock shoes, but for horses with unusual hoof shapes, corrective needs, or high performance demands, the precision fit can make a meaningful difference in soundness and comfort.
