Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as a farrier emergency?
Common emergencies include a horse that has thrown a shoe before an event, a hoof crack that's worsening quickly, or a situation where a lost shoe is causing immediate lameness. If your horse is in discomfort or at risk of injury, it's worth calling right away rather than waiting for a regular slot.
When are glue-on shoes recommended over nailed shoes?
Glue-on shoes are typically used when a horse's hoof wall is too damaged, thin, or brittle to hold nails securely. They're also common during rehabilitation for conditions like laminitis or white line disease, where protecting the hoof wall is a priority.
How long does hoof reconstruction take to complete?
It depends on the extent of the damage. Minor repairs might be finished in a single visit, while more serious reconstruction often requires multiple appointments spaced a few weeks apart to allow the repair material to cure and the hoof to grow.
Is cold shoeing as effective as hot shoeing?
For most horses, cold shoeing works just fine. The difference comes down to fit precision, since hot shoeing allows more customization. Cold shoeing is faster and still produces good results for horses with relatively normal hoof shapes.
What should I do before the farrier arrives for an appointment?
Have your horse caught and in a clean, dry area with good footing and enough light for the farrier to work safely. If your horse has any behavioral quirks or health issues the farrier should know about, mention those when you book the appointment.
Can Turner's Farrier Service work with my vet on a therapeutic shoeing plan?
Many farriers coordinate directly with veterinarians, especially for cases involving lameness, laminitis, or post-surgical recovery. It's a good idea to share any vet notes or X-rays with the farrier before the appointment so they can plan accordingly.
