Frequently Asked Questions

What does performance shoeing involve for a competitive horse?
Performance shoeing takes into account your horse's discipline, movement goals, and the surfaces they compete on. The farrier adjusts shoe weight, material, breakover point, and angles to support the specific demands of that horse's job.
My horse is a Tennessee Walker. Does shoeing technique really affect their gait?
It absolutely does. Trim angles, shoe weight, and toe length all influence how a gaited horse moves, and even small changes can either enhance or throw off their natural gait. It's one of the main reasons gaited horse owners seek out farriers with specific experience in that area.
What is natural hoof care and how is it different from a regular trim?
Natural hoof care uses a trim model based on the shape and mechanics of feral horse hooves, with the goal of building stronger internal hoof structures over time. It's more than just removing length. It's about shaping the hoof to function the way it was designed to.
How long does it take to transition a horse from shod to barefoot?
Most horses take 3 to 6 months to transition fully, though it varies a lot depending on hoof quality, diet, and the terrain they're being worked on. Some horses make the switch easily, while others need a slower process with more frequent trims early on.
Can performance shoeing help a horse that's been struggling in competition?
Sometimes, yes. Hoof imbalances or poorly fitted shoes can affect how a horse moves and collects, which shows up in the arena. A thorough assessment from an experienced farrier can identify whether the feet are contributing to the performance issue.
How do I know if my horse needs shoes or can go barefoot?
It depends on hoof wall quality, the type of work your horse does, and the terrain they're on regularly. A farrier can evaluate those factors and give you an honest assessment rather than a one-size-fits-all answer.
