Frequently Asked Questions

What does laminitis treatment from a farrier actually involve?
A farrier treating laminitis focuses on relieving pressure from the rotated or sinking coffin bone by modifying hoof angles and applying supportive padding or specialized shoes. The work is typically done in coordination with your vet, who handles the medical side of the condition.
Why would a mobile farrier be better than hauling my horse to a facility?
For horses dealing with laminitis or other painful hoof conditions, loading and hauling can cause additional stress and discomfort. Working at home also keeps your horse calm and reduces the variables that come with trailering an already-sensitive animal.
How does Tucson's desert terrain affect hoof wear compared to greener states?
Hard caliche and rocky desert ground causes faster sole and wall wear, which can mean shorter intervals between farrier visits for active horses. Owners moving to Tucson from wetter climates often notice their horse's hooves need more frequent attention.
Are glue-on shoes a long-term option or just a temporary fix?
They work well as a temporary solution during recovery from injury or severe hoof wall damage. Some horses with chronically poor wall quality use them on a longer-term basis, but they require more frequent replacement than nailed shoes.
Can gaited horses get therapeutic shoeing at the same time?
Yes. A gaited horse with a hoof condition still needs the gait-specific angle and weight adjustments that support correct movement. Therapeutic and gait-corrective considerations are addressed together in the shoeing plan.
How quickly can Parker respond to an emergency hoof situation in Tucson?
Response time depends on current schedule and location, but calling the number directly gives you the fastest answer. Emergencies involving a shoe ripping or sudden severe lameness are prioritized when the schedule allows.
