Frequently Asked Questions

Does Mitchell work with horses that have been diagnosed with navicular disease?
Yes, navicular support shoeing is one of the listed specialties. It's best to have your vet's diagnosis and any X-rays available before the appointment so the farrier can coordinate the shoeing approach with the treatment already in place.
Can my draft horse be shod here, or is that a specialty service?
Draft horse shoeing is specifically offered. Draft breeds require heavier shoes, larger nails, and more physical effort per session, so it's worth mentioning your horse's breed when you call to schedule.
What does natural hoof care actually mean, and is it right for my horse?
Natural hoof care focuses on trimming in a way that mimics how a horse's hoof would naturally wear, often used as an alternative to traditional metal shoes. Whether it's appropriate depends on your horse's workload, terrain, and hoof health, which is something Mitchell can assess on the first visit.
How quickly can I get help if my horse loses a shoe unexpectedly?
Emergency farrier services are available for situations like lost shoes, cracks, or hoof injuries that need prompt attention. Response times will depend on current scheduling, so calling as early as possible gives you the best chance of a same-day or next-day visit.
How do I prepare my horse for a farrier appointment?
Have your horse clean, haltered, and standing in a safe area with good footing and enough light for the farrier to work comfortably. If your horse is nervous about hoof handling, working on that before the appointment makes the session faster and safer for everyone.
How often should a barefoot horse be trimmed?
Most barefoot horses need trimming every 6 to 8 weeks, though horses in heavy work or with faster-growing hooves may need more frequent attention. Your farrier can help you settle on a schedule after seeing how your horse's hooves grow and wear.
