Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between cold shoeing and hot shoeing?
Cold shoeing means fitting and shaping shoes at room temperature without using a forge, while hot shoeing involves heating the metal to make it easier to shape and allows the farrier to burn-fit the shoe directly to the hoof. Cold shoeing is faster and works well for most horses, while hot shoeing gives the farrier more control over fit.
Why would a horse in Wellington need custom forge work instead of stock shoes?
Stock shoes are made in standard sizes and shapes, which don't always match the individual hoof geometry of a high-performance horse. Custom-forged shoes can be shaped to exact angles, widths, and breakover positions that improve a horse's way of going, which matters a great deal in competitive disciplines.
How does hoof reconstruction work and how long does it take?
Hoof reconstruction involves applying composite materials or acrylic repair products to rebuild sections of hoof wall that have been damaged, lost, or cracked away. It typically takes several shoeing cycles for the repaired area to grow out and for the natural wall to fully replace the patch.
How far in advance should I book a farrier appointment during Wellington show season?
During the Winter Equestrian Festival season, which runs from January through April, farriers in Wellington fill up quickly. It's smart to get on a regular schedule before the season starts rather than trying to book week by week.
Can a farrier help if my horse's hooves are consistently chipping or cracking?
Yes, chronic chipping and cracking often come from a combination of nutritional gaps, environmental factors, and hoof imbalance. A farrier can assess the hoof quality, correct the balance, and recommend a trimming or shoeing strategy that reduces mechanical stress on the wall.
Is barefoot trimming a good option for show horses in Wellington?
It depends on the discipline, the horse's workload, and the footing they're working on. Some horses do well barefoot in light or arena-based work, but horses competing regularly on varied footing or at high intensity usually benefit from the added protection and traction of shoes.
