What does a farrier do besides shoeing horses?

A farrier also trims horses' hooves, evaluates their gait and hoof health, advises on proper hoof care and trimming schedules, and may provide corrective shoeing or therapeutic treatments for hoof conditions. Some farriers also work closely with veterinarians to address lameness issues or provide input on overall horse health related to the hooves and lower limbs.


What is the person who cares for a horses feet called?

A farrier should come in weekly to replace the horse's shoes and remove any unhealthy parts of the hoof, the equipment they use does not hurt the horse, though it may look like it does, and the horse should get used to the process and be quite calm when the shoeing is taking place. The farrier should come regularly, and he should only have to shoe horses in work, not horses that are kept out at grass. If the horse is kept out at grass or has gone lame, or for any reason is out of work, then they should have their hooves picked out every morning and every night by either the owner or the person who looks after the horse. If the horse's hooves are too small they cannot have shoes. You can keep a working horse barefoot, and farriers do that too.


Keep the horses in footwear?

You do not have to shoe your horses. You can have a natural hoof care specialist come to ur farm to trim your horses hooves, but not put shoes on them (Because they are not having nails hammered through their hooves, which creates lots of holes). This is not only better for your horses hooves, but it is a lot cheaper too.


How much do ferries cost to come do your horse?

Do you mean farriers, as in the people who trim and/or shoe your horse's hooves? One farrier lists his prices as :$30 for a trim, $60 for a pair, and $90 for all 4 shoes. This is about the normal price for a farrier. However, if your farrier does corrective work on the feet, the price will vary, depending on what work he does. And some farriers give discounts if you have so many horses done at the same time.
