Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as a farrier emergency, and how quickly can you respond in San Jose?
A lost shoe before a competition, a hoof crack that's getting worse, or a horse going suddenly lame from a shoeing issue all qualify as emergencies. Response times vary, but having a local provider in San Jose means you're not waiting for someone to drive in from hours away.
Is barefoot trimming a good option for horses in the Bay Area climate?
The mild, dry climate around San Jose can actually support barefoot horses well, especially those on dry lots or pasture. It depends more on the individual horse's hoof quality and workload than on the region, but many owners here do transition successfully with proper trimming schedules.
How often does my horse need to be trimmed or shod?
Most horses need attention every six to eight weeks, though that varies by how fast the hooves grow and what kind of work the horse is doing. Horses in heavier work or those with corrective needs may require more frequent visits.
What is navicular support shoeing and how do I know if my horse needs it?
Navicular support shoeing uses specific shoe types and placement angles to relieve pressure on the navicular bone and surrounding structures. If your vet has diagnosed navicular disease or your horse shows signs of heel pain and shortened stride, this approach is worth discussing with both your vet and your farrier.
Can I be present during my horse's farrier appointment?
Yes, and it's actually encouraged, especially for the first visit or if your horse has behavioral quirks the farrier should know about. Being there also means you can ask questions in real time and understand what's being done.
Does cold shoeing produce a worse result than hot shoeing?
Not necessarily. Cold shoeing works well for many horses, and an experienced farrier can achieve a solid fit using pre-made shoes and careful adjustment. Hot shoeing allows for more customization, which matters more in complex therapeutic cases than in standard work.
