Frequently Asked Questions

Does Scott Farrier Co. work with gaited horses like Tennessee Walkers or Missouri Fox Trotters?
Yes, gaited horse shoeing is one of their listed specialties. Proper shoeing for gaited breeds is more nuanced than standard shoeing because shoe weight and placement directly affect gait quality and timing.
What is custom forge work and when would my horse need it?
Custom forge work means the farrier fabricates a shoe from raw steel rather than using a pre-made factory shoe. This is useful when a horse has an unusually shaped hoof, needs a specific heel or toe angle, or requires modifications that stock shoes can't provide.
How often should my horse be trimmed or shod in the Indianapolis area?
Most horses need hoof care every six to eight weeks, though some barefoot horses or those with faster hoof growth may need visits closer to every five weeks. Indiana's seasonal changes, especially wet springs and dry summers, can affect hoof hardness and growth rate.
Can they shoe draft horses like Belgians or Percherons?
Draft horse shoeing is a listed service. These breeds require significantly larger shoes and more physical work than standard-sized horses, so it's worth confirming when you book that the farrier has the proper equipment and experience for your specific animal.
What's the difference between corrective trimming and a standard trim?
A standard trim maintains hoof length and balance for a healthy foot. Corrective trimming addresses existing problems like flares, contracted heels, or uneven wear that could affect the horse's movement or comfort over time.
Do I need to be present when the farrier visits my horse?
It's strongly recommended that you or a knowledgeable handler be present, especially for the first visit. The farrier may have questions about your horse's history, and having someone familiar with the horse makes the appointment safer and more efficient.
