About Lee's Farrier Service

Lee's Farrier Service brings focused, hands-on hoof care to Medford, Oregon, with a specialty lineup that prioritizes quality over volume. The Rogue Valley horse community has a strong need for farriers who can handle both everyday barefoot maintenance and more technical corrective work. Lee's stands out by offering custom forge work, meaning shoes are made or modified specifically for the individual horse rather than pulled off a rack. For Medford-area horse owners dealing with navicular issues or horses that simply don't fit standard shoe sizes, that level of customization makes a genuine difference.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is custom forge work, and when would my horse need it?
Custom forge work means the farrier shapes a shoe from raw stock using heat and tools, rather than applying a pre-made shoe with minor bending. Your horse might need it if they have unusual hoof dimensions, require specific corrective angles, or have a condition that standard shoes can't properly address.
Can Lee's help if my horse has navicular syndrome?
Yes, navicular support shoeing is one of the core services offered. Bringing any X-rays or vet notes to the appointment helps the farrier align the shoeing approach with your veterinarian's overall treatment plan.
Is barefoot trimming appropriate for a horse in regular work?
It depends on the type of work, the terrain, and how the horse's hooves hold up over time. Many horses do fine barefoot in moderate work, but horses on hard or rocky terrain or in frequent competition often need the additional protection of shoes.
How long does a farrier appointment typically take?
A standard barefoot trim usually takes 30 to 45 minutes per horse. Custom forge work or corrective shoeing sessions take longer since shaping the shoe and fitting it precisely requires more time and adjustment.
Do I need a vet referral to get corrective shoeing?
You don't need a formal referral, but for conditions like navicular syndrome, having a diagnosis and any imaging from your vet makes the farrier's job much more effective. Good farriers and vets often work together on these cases, and Lee's can help coordinate that communication.
How do I know if my horse's hooves are unhealthy?
Common signs include cracks, flaring, thrush, lameness, or hooves that look uneven when the horse stands. A farrier can give you a clear picture during a routine trim visit and flag anything that might need a vet's attention.
