Frequently Asked Questions

What is navicular syndrome and how does shoeing help?
Navicular syndrome involves pain and degeneration in the navicular bone and surrounding structures at the back of the hoof. Specialized shoeing can reduce the forces acting on that area, improve the horse's comfort, and slow progression of the condition.
Can barefoot trimming work for a horse with hoof problems?
It depends on the condition. Some horses with mild issues actually do better barefoot with proper trimming and terrain management. Others need the support that a therapeutic shoe provides, especially during recovery.
How does Wilson Farrier Co. work with my veterinarian?
For therapeutic cases, coordination with your vet is standard practice. The farrier and vet can share observations and align on a treatment plan that addresses both the medical and mechanical sides of your horse's condition.
What makes draft horse shoeing different from regular shoeing?
Draft horses have much larger, heavier hooves and require oversized shoes that most farriers don't stock or shape regularly. The physical demands of working on a 1,500 to 2,000 pound horse also require specific handling skills and experience.
How long does a therapeutic shoeing appointment take?
Therapeutic cases generally take longer than a standard reset, often 90 minutes or more depending on the complexity. The farrier needs time to assess, plan, and fit the shoes carefully rather than working from a template.
Is glue-on shoeing a permanent solution?
Glue-on shoes are changed on roughly the same cycle as nailed shoes, every 6 to 8 weeks. For some horses it's a temporary solution during recovery, while others stay on glue-ons long term if nailing consistently causes problems.
