Frequently Asked Questions

What are glue-on shoes and when are they a better choice than nailed shoes?
Glue-on shoes are attached to the hoof using an adhesive rather than nails, which makes them a good option for horses with thin or brittle hoof walls that can't hold a nail reliably. They're also useful during recovery from hoof injuries or for horses that are sensitive to the nailing process. The trade-off is that they can be more expensive and require a very clean, dry hoof surface to bond properly.
How does the dry Wyoming climate affect my horse's hooves?
Cheyenne's dry, high-elevation environment draws moisture out of hooves faster than humid climates do, which can lead to cracking, chipping, and increased sensitivity. Regular trimming and proper hoof conditioning products help counteract this. Your farrier can recommend a topical treatment and trimming schedule that works for your horse's specific situation.
Is barefoot trimming right for a working ranch horse?
It depends on the terrain and the workload. Many ranch horses do fine barefoot on soft or sandy ground, but rocky or hard-packed terrain tends to wear hooves down faster than they grow. Some horses transition well with the use of hoof boots during harder work, while others genuinely need a shoe for protection. Your farrier can help you figure out what's realistic for your horse's job.
How long does a barefoot trimming appointment take?
A standard barefoot trim usually takes 30 to 60 minutes for a single horse, depending on how cooperative the horse is and how much work the hooves need. Horses with overgrown, damaged, or problem hooves may take longer at the first appointment. Once you're on a regular schedule, appointments tend to go faster because the hooves are in better shape between visits.
What do I need to have ready before the farrier arrives?
Have your horse caught, haltered, and in a clean, well-lit area with a flat, dry surface to stand on. If your horse has any known behavioral issues around hoof handling, let the farrier know in advance so they can plan accordingly. It also helps to have a hose or water source nearby if the hooves need to be cleaned before any work begins.
How do I know when my horse is due for a trim or reset?
Most horses need attention every six to eight weeks, but growth rates vary with diet, age, and season. Visual signs that it's time include flaring at the hoof wall, long toes, lost or shifted shoes, or changes in the horse's movement. Setting a regular schedule with your farrier is the most reliable way to stay on top of it before problems develop.
