What services do you offer?
Common services include hoof trimming, corrective shoeing, custom shoe fittings, hoof health assessments, and rehabilitation for hoof-related issues.
Most horses benefit from farrier care every 6 to 8 weeks, depending on their hoof growth, health, and level of activity.
Look for signs like uneven wear, cracks, chipping, lameness, or discomfort when walking. Regular farrier visits help prevent and address these issues.
Not necessarily. Some horses perform well barefoot, depending on their workload, terrain, and hoof condition. A farrier can assess and recommend the best option.
Cracks, splits, sensitivity, lameness, or abnormal wear patterns may indicate a hoof problem. Regular checkups help catch these early.
A typical trim or shoeing appointment takes 30 minutes to an hour and a half, but times may vary based on the horse's needs.
Ensure the horse is clean, dry, and accustomed to handling. Having a safe, level area for the appointment also helps.
Prices vary based on services needed, location, and the complexity of the work. Feel free to contact for an estimate.
Proper hoof care is essential for the horse's comfort, health, and performance. Neglected hooves can lead to lameness and other issues.
