Frequently Asked Questions

What is glue-on shoeing and when does my horse need it?
Glue-on shoes are attached using adhesive rather than nails, making them suitable for horses with brittle or thin hoof walls that can't hold a nail securely. They're also commonly used during rehabilitation when driving nails could cause further damage to compromised hoof tissue.
How often should a foal have its hooves trimmed?
Most foals benefit from their first trim within the first few weeks of life, especially if any limb or hoof deviations are present. After that, four-to-six-week intervals are typical during the first year to keep growth in check and correct any developing imbalances early.
Can a farrier help with navicular syndrome, or is that only a vet issue?
Farriers and veterinarians often work together on navicular cases since proper shoeing is one of the primary tools for managing the condition. Specialized shoes, wedge pads, and modified breakover points can significantly reduce a horse's discomfort and slow progression of the problem.
What counts as a farrier emergency?
A lost shoe before a competition, a partially pulled shoe that's digging into the hoof, or a horse that's suddenly lame after a hoof incident are all situations that warrant an emergency call. Leaving a partially attached shoe in place can cause serious injury, so it's always better to call sooner.
Does gaited horse shoeing differ from regular shoeing?
Yes, significantly. The weight, length, and placement of shoes on a gaited horse directly affect how the horse moves, so the farrier needs to understand the specific gait you're trying to achieve or maintain. Getting this wrong can alter the horse's movement in ways that are difficult to correct.
How do winters in Massachusetts affect my horse's hooves and shoeing schedule?
Cold temperatures cause hooves to become more brittle, and ice and packed snow can create serious traction problems for shod horses. Many owners in the Boston area opt for snow pads or borium traction additions during winter months to reduce slipping risk.
