Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as a farrier emergency and when should I call?
A farrier emergency includes a partially pulled shoe with a nail sticking up that could injure your horse, a lost shoe before a major event, a hoof crack that's opened suddenly, or any hoof-related injury that's causing acute lameness. If you're unsure, calling and describing the situation is always the right move. Most farriers can tell you over the phone whether it needs same-day attention or can wait.
Is natural hoof care suitable for horses in regular work?
Yes, many horses in regular work thrive barefoot with proper natural hoof care trimming. Success depends on the horse's individual hoof quality, the terrain it works on, and the intensity of its workload. Some horses transition easily, while others need hoof boots for harder surfaces during the transition period.
My horse has white line disease. Can a farrier treat it?
White line disease is primarily a farriery and management issue. The farrier will remove the affected hoof wall tissue, clean out the infection, and pack or protect the area to allow healthy growth to fill in. The horse also needs dry, clean footing conditions to prevent recurrence, so it's a team effort between you and your farrier.
How long does a hoof reconstruction repair last?
The reconstructed material itself is quite durable and typically holds up well through one to two shoeing cycles. Over time, it grows out with the hoof and is replaced by natural hoof wall. The long-term outcome depends on keeping the horse on a consistent shoeing schedule so the repair is monitored and the hoof stays in proper balance.
How should I prepare my horse for a farrier visit?
Have your horse caught and in a safe, dry area with decent lighting before the farrier arrives. Clean legs and hooves are helpful, especially if the horse has been in muddy turnout. If your horse has any handling quirks or tends to be difficult about picking up feet, let the farrier know ahead of time so they can plan accordingly.
Can Conway area horses stay barefoot year-round given the Arkansas climate?
Arkansas's climate is generally manageable for barefoot horses year-round, though wet winters can soften hooves and muddy conditions can increase the risk of thrush and white line issues. Regular trimming, good footing in turnout areas, and attention to diet all help barefoot horses stay sound through seasonal changes. Some horses do better with shoes during the wettest months, and that's a conversation worth having with your farrier.
