Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as a farrier emergency, and will Lewis's Farrier Service respond?
A farrier emergency typically includes a lost shoe before a competition, a hoof injury, or a situation where a horse is in pain or at risk of further damage without immediate attention. Lewis's Farrier Service lists emergency farrier services, so calling (551) 555-2929 directly and explaining the situation is your best first step.
My horse has navicular disease. What does navicular support shoeing involve?
Navicular support shoeing typically uses egg bar shoes, wedge pads, or other configurations to shift weight away from the back of the foot and reduce stress on the navicular bone. The exact approach depends on your horse's specific diagnosis and often involves coordination with your veterinarian.
When should foals have their first farrier visit?
Most farriers recommend a first trim within the first few weeks of life, especially if there are any signs of leg or hoof deviation. Early intervention can correct minor conformational issues before they become permanent, which is why foal trimming is such a valuable service.
How long does hoof reconstruction take, and what causes it to be needed?
Hoof reconstruction is usually needed after severe abscess, white line disease, or physical trauma that destroys a significant portion of the hoof wall. Depending on severity, full recovery can take several months, with the farrier rebuilding the wall using acrylics or other patching materials while new growth occurs.
Is cold shoeing as effective as hot shoeing?
Cold shoeing works well for most horses and standard shoeing situations. The main difference is that hot shoeing allows the farrier to custom-fit the shoe with greater precision by burning the shape directly to the hoof. For horses with straightforward needs, cold shoeing is a practical and widely used approach.
How do I know if my horse needs glue-on shoes instead of nailed ones?
Glue-on shoes are typically recommended when a horse's hoof wall is too thin, brittle, or damaged to hold nails securely. Your farrier will assess wall quality during the appointment and can advise whether nails, glue, or a combination approach makes the most sense.
