Frequently Asked Questions

Does Moore Farrier Co. handle horses with laminitis?
Yes, laminitis treatment is one of their listed services. This typically involves therapeutic trimming and sometimes specialized shoeing to relieve pressure on the sensitive laminae and support the coffin bone.
What is custom forge work, and does my horse need it?
Custom forge work means the farrier heats and shapes the shoe on-site to fit your horse's exact hoof, rather than using a pre-formed shoe. It's especially useful for horses with unusual hoof shapes, corrective needs, or those involved in high-performance disciplines.
How are glue-on shoes different from traditional nailed shoes?
Glue-on shoes attach with a strong adhesive rather than nails, which makes them ideal for horses with weak, thin, or damaged hoof walls that can't support nails. They're also sometimes used post-surgery or during hoof reconstruction.
How often should I schedule farrier visits in Minnesota's climate?
Most horses need farrier attention every 6 to 8 weeks, but Minnesota's winter conditions can affect hoof growth and footing needs. Some horse owners switch to snow pads or different shoeing setups in colder months, which your farrier can advise on.
Can gaited horses be shod the same as other breeds?
Not usually. Gaited horses like Tennessee Walkers or Missouri Fox Trotters need shoeing that accounts for their specific movement mechanics. Incorrect angles or weight distribution can disrupt their natural gait, so it's important to work with a farrier who has experience with gaited breeds.
What's the difference between barefoot trimming and corrective trimming?
Barefoot trimming focuses on maintaining a balanced, healthy hoof without shoes, often following a natural hoof care philosophy. Corrective trimming, on the other hand, is specifically aimed at addressing a structural problem, like a flare, imbalance, or conformational issue that's affecting how the horse moves or stands.
