Frequently Asked Questions

Is barefoot trimming right for every horse?
Not necessarily. Horses in light work on forgiving terrain often do well barefoot with proper trimming, but horses with conformational issues, those competing at high levels, or those on hard or rocky ground frequently need the added support of a shoe. A good farrier will give you an honest assessment rather than a one-size-fits-all answer.
What are glue-on shoes and when are they used?
Glue-on shoes attach to the hoof using an adhesive composite rather than nails, which makes them the right choice when hoof walls are too thin, brittle, or damaged to hold a nail securely. They're commonly used during hoof reconstruction or rehabilitation from conditions like white line disease or severe cracks.
How long does hoof reconstruction take?
It depends on the extent of the damage, but most reconstruction cases require multiple visits over several weeks as new hoof wall grows down. Your farrier and vet will monitor progress at each appointment and adjust the approach as the hoof responds.
What's the difference between natural hoof care and standard trimming?
Standard trimming generally follows a set of conventional guidelines for hoof angle and shape. Natural hoof care is guided by a philosophy that models the trim after the self-worn hooves of feral horses, emphasizing a shorter toe, active frog contact, and a trim that encourages better circulation and hoof mechanism.
Do I need a vet referral to get therapeutic shoeing?
You don't always need a formal referral, but for serious lameness conditions it's strongly recommended that your farrier and vet work together. Moore Farrier Services is experienced in coordinating care for cases involving navicular syndrome, founder, and similar conditions where shoeing decisions directly affect treatment outcomes.
How does Corrales' climate affect hoof health?
The dry New Mexico climate is a real factor. Low humidity causes hooves to dry out and become brittle, increasing the risk of cracks and nail hole damage. Regular conditioning with appropriate hoof dressings and consistent trimming intervals help combat this, and your farrier can recommend a maintenance routine suited to the local environment.
