Frequently Asked Questions

What is cold shoeing and how does it differ from hot shoeing?
Cold shoeing uses pre-shaped shoes that are fitted and adjusted without heating them in a forge. It's a common and effective method for routine shoeing when the shoe doesn't require major reshaping. Hot shoeing allows more precise customization, but cold shoeing works well for many horses with standard hoof shapes.
When should foals start getting their hooves trimmed?
Most farriers recommend starting foal trimming within the first few weeks of life, especially if you notice any deviation in leg alignment. Early intervention can correct minor conformation issues before they become permanent. Regular trimming every four to six weeks helps establish healthy hoof growth patterns from the start.
Are glue-on shoes a good option for horses with cracked hooves?
Yes, glue-on shoes are often the best choice when a horse's hoof wall is too damaged or thin to hold nails securely. They distribute pressure differently and can actually support hoof wall regrowth over time. Your farrier will evaluate whether the crack is structural or superficial before recommending this approach.
How often should corrective trimming appointments be scheduled?
Corrective trimming typically follows a four to six week cycle, depending on how fast your horse's hooves grow and how significant the issue is. Consistency is key because the hoof capsule changes gradually over multiple trims. Skipping appointments can undo progress and slow the overall correction process.
Is a farrier visit covered by horse insurance in Tennessee?
Standard farrier visits are generally not covered under most equine insurance policies, which tend to focus on veterinary and surgical care. However, therapeutic farriery prescribed by a vet as part of treatment may be considered in some plans. It's worth checking your specific policy details or asking your insurance provider directly.
What should I do to prepare my horse before the farrier arrives?
Make sure your horse is clean, dry, and haltered before the farrier gets there. Muddy or wet hooves are harder to work with and can slow down the appointment. Having your horse in a calm, well-lit area with a flat surface makes the entire visit safer and more efficient for everyone.
