Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of shoes are used for a horse with laminitis?
Common options include heart bar shoes that support the frog and coffin bone, wide-web aluminum shoes for added surface area, or deep-bedded hoof packing combined with specialized shoeing. The exact approach depends on the severity of rotation and the treating veterinarian's recommendations, so farrier and vet collaboration is essential.
Can navicular disease be managed long-term through shoeing alone?
Shoeing is a major component of navicular management, but it's rarely the only tool. Most horses do best with a combination of corrective shoeing, appropriate exercise, veterinary treatment, and sometimes medication. Many horses with navicular disease can maintain a good quality of life and stay in work with consistent management.
How quickly can I get an emergency farrier appointment in Stillwater?
Response time depends on the farrier's current schedule and the nature of the situation. A horse with a shoe causing active injury or pain will typically get faster priority than one that simply lost a shoe on soft ground. Call immediately and describe the situation clearly so the farrier can assess the urgency.
Does my horse need a different farrier for therapeutic shoeing than for regular shoeing?
Not necessarily, but you do need a farrier with specific training and experience in therapeutic work. Many general farriers handle standard shoeing well but haven't worked extensively with laminitis or navicular cases, so it's worth asking directly about their experience with your horse's specific condition.
What's involved in shoeing a Clydesdale or other draft breed?
Draft shoeing requires much heavier shoe stock, often hand-forged or sourced from specialty suppliers, and the physical demands are considerably greater than with light horse breeds. It also takes longer per foot given the size, so farriers typically charge more and some decline draft work altogether if they're not set up for it.
How does living near OSU's vet school benefit horse owners in Stillwater?
OSU's Veterinary Medical Hospital provides access to diagnostic imaging like radiographs and MRI that can directly inform a therapeutic farrier's shoe selection. Having specialist veterinary care nearby means farriers and vets can communicate more easily and horses with complex conditions get a more coordinated treatment approach.
