About Scott Farrier Co.

Scott Farrier Co. is located in Chardon, Ohio, in the heart of Geauga County, one of the most horse-dense counties in the entire state.

This provider focuses on navicular support shoeing, barefoot trimming, foal trimming, and natural hoof care. That service lineup reflects a thoughtful approach to long-term hoof health rather than just putting shoes on and moving on.

Frequently Asked Questions

At what age should a foal get its first trim?
Many farriers recommend an initial assessment within the first few weeks of birth, especially if any limb or hoof irregularities are visible. Early trimming can correct angular deformities much more easily when the foal is still growing rapidly.
Can barefoot trimming work for horses in hard work or on rough terrain?
It depends on the individual horse. Some horses transition to barefoot successfully with proper diet, appropriate footing, and a gradual transition period. Others, particularly those with thin soles or demanding workloads, may still need shoes for protection.
What is navicular syndrome, and how does shoeing help?
Navicular syndrome involves pain and degeneration in or around the navicular bone at the back of the hoof, often causing chronic front-limb lameness. Supportive shoeing, such as egg bar shoes with heel elevation, reduces mechanical stress on that area and can meaningfully improve a horse's comfort.
How does natural hoof care differ from standard barefoot trimming?
Standard barefoot trimming removes excess hoof growth and shapes the foot, while natural hoof care takes a broader view that includes evaluating diet, mineral intake, and the horse's living environment as contributors to hoof health. It's a more integrated approach that aims to address root causes, not just surface condition.
Is there high demand for farriers in Geauga County?
Yes. Geauga County has one of the highest concentrations of horses in Ohio, partly because of the large Amish population that relies on working horses daily. Finding a farrier who serves the area and has availability can take some lead time, so booking early is wise.
How do I know if my horse is a candidate for therapeutic or corrective shoeing?
Signs like persistent lameness, uneven hoof wear, a diagnosed condition like navicular or laminitis, or a vet recommendation are all reasons to ask your farrier about therapeutic options. A good farrier will coordinate with your veterinarian and may suggest X-rays to guide the shoeing plan.
