Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between hot shoeing and cold shoeing?
Hot shoeing means the farrier heats the shoe in a forge and shapes it to match your horse's exact hoof before fitting it. Cold shoeing uses pre-made shoes bent without heat, which works fine for many horses but doesn't allow the same level of customization.
How often does my horse need to be shod?
Most horses need reshoeing every 6 to 8 weeks, depending on hoof growth rate, workload, and the time of year. Hooves tend to grow faster in warm, wet months, so your schedule may shift slightly through the year.
Can my horse transition from shoes to barefoot?
Yes, many horses transition successfully to barefoot with the right trimming schedule and some time for the hoof to toughen. The process usually takes a few months and works best for horses on softer terrain or with lighter workloads.
What counts as a farrier emergency?
A lost shoe before a major event, a hoof crack that's spreading, or a shoe that's partially pulled and digging into the hoof all qualify as emergencies. It's better to call right away than to let the situation worsen over several days.
Do you work on draft horses?
Yes, draft horse shoeing is one of the listed specialties here. These horses need much larger shoes and a farrier comfortable working with their size and temperament, which not every provider in the Columbia area handles.
What should I do to prepare my horse before the farrier arrives?
Make sure your horse is caught, clean, and calm before the appointment. A dry, flat surface with good footing and some shade makes the farrier's job easier and keeps your horse safer during the work.
