Frequently Asked Questions

We try to anticipate questions you might have about our horseshoeing service and provide the answers here. If you need additional information contact us.
 
1.
Do I need to be there while you work on my horses?

If your horses are well behaved and tie good, no. Some people like to be there the  first time to see how I get along with the horses. But everyone has a job and sometimes you can't be there. I try to handle the horses so you don't have to be there.


2.

How often should I have my horses shoed or trimed? 

Some horses need to be reshoed at four weeks  and some need it at eight weeks. I recommend putting most horses on a six weeks program. It's more like a maintenance program, if the farrier comes at six weeks (before the shoes fall off) he can do a better job, and you never have to worry about getting the farrier out before you can use the horse.


3.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, I'll replace the shoes for five weeks. After that it's probably best to reshoe the horse all the way around to keep the horses balanced.
