Frequently Asked Questions

How often does my horse need to see a farrier in Wisconsin?
Most horses need attention every six to eight weeks, though that can shift based on season, workload, and hoof growth rate. Wisconsin winters can slow hoof growth slightly, but horses still need regular checks to prevent cracking or imbalance from frozen footing.
What's involved in navicular support shoeing?
Navicular support shoeing uses shoe styles and placement techniques that reduce strain on the navicular bone and surrounding structures. This often involves rocker-toe or egg-bar shoes, combined with careful trimming to adjust the hoof's breakover point and heel angle.
When should I start trimming my foal's hooves?
Most farriers recommend starting foal trimming at four to eight weeks of age, sometimes earlier if a conformational issue is spotted. Early, light trimming helps establish correct hoof angles before the foal's movement patterns become set.
Is barefoot trimming a good choice for my horse?
Barefoot trimming works well for horses with strong, healthy hooves who aren't doing heavy work on hard or rocky surfaces. It's not ideal for every horse, and a farrier will assess sole depth, hoof wall quality, and your horse's workload before recommending it.
What causes serious hoof wall damage that needs reconstruction?
White line disease, severe cracks, and injuries from pulls or trauma can all compromise the hoof wall to the point where reconstruction is necessary. The process involves cleaning out the damaged area, applying repair composites, and often modifying shoeing to protect the repair while new wall grows in.
How do I prepare my horse for a farrier visit?
Have your horse caught and haltered before the farrier arrives, and make sure hooves are reasonably clean and dry. A horse that stands quietly on crossties or with a handler makes the visit safer and faster for everyone involved.
