Frequently Asked Questions

Do draft horses need a different farrier than regular horses?
Yes, draft horses require heavier shoes, larger tools, and a farrier experienced in handling very large animals safely. The physical demands of shoeing a draft are significantly greater, and the hoof anatomy can differ from lighter breeds. It's worth confirming that your farrier has specific experience with drafts before booking.
What does hoof reconstruction involve, and how long does it take?
Hoof reconstruction uses acrylic or composite materials to rebuild sections of hoof wall that have been lost to injury, disease, or severe cracking. The process can take multiple farrier visits over several months as the natural hoof wall grows back and the repaired area grows out. The goal is to restore enough structure to hold a shoe and protect the inner hoof.
Is barefoot trimming right for every horse in Georgia?
Barefoot trimming works well for horses in light to moderate work on varied terrain, but it's not appropriate for every situation. Horses with thin soles, working primarily on hard or rocky ground, or competing at high levels often need the protection and mechanical support that shoes provide. A farrier can help you assess whether your horse is a good candidate.
How is performance shoeing different from standard shoeing?
Performance shoeing is customized to the specific demands of the horse's discipline. A barrel horse might need a lighter shoe with a specific breakover point for quick turns, while a jumping horse might need more toe support and traction. The farrier considers how the horse moves, where it competes, and what surfaces it works on most frequently.
Can a farrier help diagnose why my horse is lame?
Farriers can observe gait abnormalities, identify hoof imbalances, and flag things like abscesses or thrush that contribute to lameness, but diagnosing the underlying cause of lameness is the veterinarian's role. The best outcomes usually come from the vet and farrier working together, especially for complex or ongoing soundness problems.
How do I prepare my horse for a farrier visit, especially if it's not used to being handled?
Practice picking up and holding each hoof before the farrier arrives, and have the horse tied or held in a safe, well-lit area with solid footing. A horse that hasn't been handled much may need several desensitization sessions before it cooperates calmly. Letting your farrier know about handling issues in advance helps them prepare and keeps everyone safer.
