Frequently Asked Questions

What is hoof reconstruction and when is it necessary?
Hoof reconstruction uses composite materials or bonding products to rebuild sections of the hoof wall that have been lost or severely damaged. It's used when there isn't enough healthy hoof left to nail a shoe or when the horse needs structural support while new hoof grows in.
Why would a horse need glue-on shoes instead of traditional nailed shoes?
Glue-on shoes are used when a horse's hoof wall is too thin, cracked, or fragile to hold nails reliably. They're also common during recovery from hoof injuries or surgeries where the veterinarian recommends avoiding the stress that nailing puts on the hoof.
What does custom forge work involve and how is it different from stock shoes?
Custom forge work means the farrier heats raw bar stock and shapes a shoe specifically for your horse rather than fitting a pre-made shoe. This is particularly useful for horses with unusual hoof shapes, severe conformation issues, or therapeutic needs that standard off-the-shelf shoes can't address.
Do draft horses need a different farrier than light horses?
Draft horses have significantly larger hooves and require heavier shoe stock, different tools, and a farrier experienced in handling their size and temperament. Not all farriers are equipped or trained to work on drafts, so it's worth asking upfront.
How does corrective trimming differ from a standard trim?
A standard trim focuses on maintaining appropriate length and basic balance, while corrective trimming deliberately alters the hoof's shape and angle to address a specific problem, such as flares, imbalance, or a gait abnormality. It requires a deeper understanding of equine biomechanics and is often done alongside veterinary assessment.
Is natural hoof care compatible with horses that compete regularly in South Florida?
It depends on the horse, the discipline, and the footing they work on. Some competitive horses do very well barefoot with consistent trimming and conditioning, while others, particularly those working on hard arena surfaces or in high-impact disciplines, may perform better with shoes. A farrier who understands both approaches can help you decide.
