Frequently Asked Questions

How often should my horse be shod or trimmed?
Most horses need attention every 6 to 8 weeks, though this varies based on hoof growth rate, workload, and the time of year. Horses in regular work or those with corrective shoeing may need more frequent visits than pasture horses.
What counts as a farrier emergency?
A lost shoe that exposes tender hoof tissue, a severe crack threatening the hoof wall, or acute lameness related to a hoof issue all qualify as emergencies. Mitchell Farrier Co. offers emergency services for situations where waiting for a regular appointment could cause further damage or pain.
Are glue-on shoes as durable as nailed shoes?
Modern adhesive technology has made glue-on shoes a reliable option for horses with compromised hoof walls or thin soles. They typically last a normal shoeing cycle of 6 to 8 weeks when applied correctly and the horse isn't in extremely wet conditions.
What is natural hoof care and is it right for my horse?
Natural hoof care involves trimming the hoof to mimic the shape and function of a wild horse's foot, avoiding metal shoes when possible. It works well for many horses in lighter work but isn't always appropriate for horses with conformational issues or heavy performance demands.
Can a farrier help with hoof problems caused by Idaho's terrain?
Yes. The mixed terrain around Nampa, from soft irrigated pastures to dry rocky ground, creates specific challenges like cracking, bruising, and uneven wear. A farrier experienced in the region can recommend shoe types and trimming angles that account for these conditions.
Does hoof reconstruction hurt the horse?
Hoof reconstruction is generally not painful since hoof wall material doesn't contain nerve endings. The goal is to rebuild damaged or missing wall so the horse can be shod normally and move comfortably again.
