Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between cold shoeing and hot shoeing?
Cold shoeing means the farrier fits and adjusts a pre-made shoe without using a forge, while hot shoeing involves heating the metal to custom shape it before fitting. Cold shoeing works well for many horses and takes less time, though hot shoeing offers a more tailored fit for horses with unusual hoof shapes.
How does performance shoeing differ from a standard shoe job?
Performance shoeing takes into account the specific demands of what the horse does, such as the type of footing it works on, the movements required in competition, and any balance issues that affect stride. It's a more involved conversation between the farrier and the rider than a routine trim and shoe.
My horse lost a shoe before a show this weekend. Can Phillips help?
Emergency farrier services are available for exactly these situations. Call (871) 555-5314 as soon as possible to explain what's happened and get a realistic timeframe for a visit. The sooner you call, the better your chances of getting back on schedule before your event.
How often do performance horses typically need new shoes?
Most performance horses need shoeing every six to eight weeks, though horses in heavy training or competing on hard surfaces may need attention closer to the six-week mark. Your farrier can give you a more specific recommendation after seeing how your horse's hooves grow and wear.
Is foal trimming really necessary if the foal looks healthy?
Yes, because hoof imbalances in young horses can affect how joints and tendons develop over time, and catching small issues early is much easier than correcting them later. Even foals that look fine can benefit from a farrier's assessment in the first few months of life.
Do I need to be present when the farrier visits?
It's highly recommended, especially for the first visit, so you can discuss your horse's history and any concerns you have. Barn managers or trainers can often stand in, but the more information the farrier has about your horse's work and any past hoof issues, the better the outcome.
