Frequently Asked Questions

What disciplines does performance shoeing cover?
Performance shoeing can be adapted for dressage, barrel racing, jumping, endurance riding, and reining, among others. Each discipline places different demands on the hoof, and the shoe selection, placement, and angle are adjusted accordingly.
Is barefoot trimming a good option for horses used on trails?
It depends on the horse's hoof quality and the terrain. Horses with naturally strong, thick-walled hooves often do well barefoot on varied trail surfaces. In rocky or harder terrain, some owners use hoof boots as a supplement during longer rides.
How quickly can Young's respond to an emergency farrier call?
Response time varies by schedule and location, but emergency calls are prioritized. If you're in the Santa Rosa or Windsor area, same-day service is often possible. Calling early in the day gives you the best chance of a quick turnaround.
What is cold shoeing, and is it as effective as hot shoeing?
Cold shoeing means fitting and applying a pre-made shoe without heating it in a forge. It's effective for most standard shoeing situations. Hot shoeing allows more custom shaping and a better seat when precision fit is needed, but cold shoeing works well for routine maintenance.
How does the wet Sonoma County climate affect hoof health?
Wet, muddy conditions can soften the hoof wall over time, making it more prone to thrush and white line disease. Regular trimming and keeping an eye on hoof hygiene during rainy season helps prevent these issues. Your farrier can recommend topical treatments if needed.
Do I need to do anything to prepare my horse before the farrier arrives?
Bring your horse in from pasture ahead of time so the hooves aren't caked in mud or wet. A clean, dry, level area to work is ideal. If your horse has any handling quirks or has been hard to shoe in the past, mention that when you book.
