Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as a farrier emergency and when should I call?
Common farrier emergencies include a shoe that's partially pulled off and catching on things, a severe hoof crack that's causing lameness, or a lost shoe right before a competition or major event. If your horse is suddenly lame and you suspect the hoof is the cause, that's worth an urgent call. It's always better to reach out and describe the situation than to wait and risk the problem getting worse.
How does therapeutic shoeing help a horse with laminitis?
Therapeutic shoeing for laminitis typically focuses on relieving pressure on the toe and supporting the back of the hoof to take strain off the compromised laminae. The specific approach depends on the rotation of the coffin bone and the horse's current pain level. It's almost always done in coordination with a veterinarian who can take X-rays and guide the mechanical plan.
Can natural hoof care work for a horse that's been shod for years?
It can, but the transition takes time and the right management. Horses coming out of shoes need a gradual adjustment period as the hoof restructures and toughens up. Footing matters a lot during the transition, and some horses do better than others depending on their workload and conformation. An honest conversation with your farrier about your horse's specific situation is the best starting point.
What should I have ready before a mobile farrier arrives?
Have your horse caught, cleaned up, and in a clean, dry, safe area with decent footing. Good lighting makes a real difference, so if your barn is dark, set up near a door or bring a light. Having your horse's hoof care history handy is helpful, especially if there are ongoing therapeutic concerns.
Do you need to coordinate with my vet for therapeutic shoeing?
For conditions like laminitis, navicular syndrome, or significant hoof injuries, yes. The farrier handles the mechanical work while the vet manages the diagnosis, medication, and any imaging needed. Working together produces better results than either professional working in isolation. If you don't have a vet already involved, your farrier can often recommend when it's necessary.
How does Bend's dry climate affect barefoot horses compared to wetter parts of Oregon?
Dry conditions cause hooves to become harder and more brittle, which can lead to chipping and cracking, especially on rocky terrain. Barefoot horses in Central Oregon often need more frequent trimming to manage this and may benefit from hoof conditioners to maintain appropriate moisture balance. It's a different set of challenges than the softening and thrush issues common in the wet Willamette Valley.
