Frequently Asked Questions

What are the signs that my horse might have laminitis?
Common signs include a reluctance to walk, a horse standing with its front legs stretched forward to shift weight off the toes, warmth in the hooves, and a strong digital pulse. If you suspect laminitis, contact your vet right away and let your farrier know so they can coordinate care.
How does therapeutic shoeing help a horse with laminitis?
Therapeutic shoeing for laminitis typically involves adding support to the back of the foot, reducing the load on the toe, and sometimes using heart bar or egg bar shoes to stabilize the coffin bone. The specific approach depends on the severity of the rotation and your vet's guidance.
What makes shoeing a gaited horse different from shoeing a stock horse?
Gaited breeds have distinct movement patterns, and the wrong shoe weight or placement can disrupt their natural gait rather than support it. Farriers experienced with gaited horses understand how to use shoe type and placement to enhance, not hinder, the way these breeds travel.
How quickly can Mitchell's Farrier Service respond to an emergency?
Response time for emergencies depends on the farrier's current schedule and your location within the Dallas area. It's best to call as soon as an issue develops so they can advise you on immediate care and give you a realistic timeframe.
Can my horse go barefoot year-round in the Dallas area?
Many horses in North Texas do fine barefoot, especially those on soft pasture with moderate workloads. However, horses ridden on hard or rocky terrain, or those with naturally thin soles, often benefit from shoe protection. Your farrier can help you evaluate what's right for your individual horse.
What should I do if my horse pulls a shoe and I can't reach a farrier immediately?
If the remaining shoe is causing the foot to land unevenly or if there's exposed sensitive tissue, keep the horse in a clean, dry stall and limit movement until help arrives. Duct tape or a hoof boot can offer temporary protection, and your farrier can advise you over the phone on immediate steps.
