Frequently Asked Questions

What makes gaited horse shoeing different from regular horseshoeing?
Gaited horses like Tennessee Walkers have unique movement mechanics that require careful weight and angle adjustments to the shoe. Getting it wrong can disrupt the gait or cause long-term soundness problems, so it takes a farrier with specific experience in this area.
How do glue-on shoes work and when are they recommended?
Glue-on shoes attach to the hoof wall using adhesive rather than nails, making them ideal for horses with thin, brittle, or damaged walls that can't hold a nail securely. They're also used post-surgery or when a horse is recovering from a hoof abscess or injury.
When should I call for emergency farrier services?
Emergency farrier help is appropriate when a shoe is partially torn and pressing into the hoof, when a horse is suddenly and severely lame with no obvious cause, or when a nail has been driven too close to the sensitive tissue. Don't wait on those situations.
Does Phoenix's dry climate affect how often I should schedule farrier visits?
Yes. Desert heat and hard ground accelerate hoof wear and can cause cracking, which sometimes means tightening your trimming or shoeing schedule. Most horses in the Phoenix area benefit from appointments every 6 weeks rather than 8.
Can natural hoof care work for a horse kept on rocky Arizona terrain?
It can, but it depends on the individual horse's hoof quality, workload, and the specific terrain. Some horses adapt well and develop tougher soles over time, while others need hoof boots or shoes for protection on rocky ground.
How should I prepare my horse for a farrier appointment?
Have your horse clean, dry, and easy to catch before the farrier arrives. A horse that's been exercised heavily right before an appointment can be more fidgety, so lighter activity that day helps. A halter and lead rope should be ready, and a safe, shaded work area is appreciated in Arizona heat.
