Horseshoeing with the aid of a forge. May involve fabricating the horseshoes from barstock and/or hot setting.
Cold shoeing involves fitting and shaping horseshoes at room temperature, while hot shoeing involves shaping horseshoes by heating them in a forge before fitting. Hot shoeing allows for more precise shaping of the shoe to the hoof and can be beneficial for certain hoof conditions, while cold shoeing is quicker and may be suitable for horses with healthy hooves.

Flaring in horses refers to the outward expansion of the hoof wall near the toe. It is often a sign of poor hoof care or improper shoeing, which can lead to issues such as lameness or hoof distortion. Addressing the underlying causes, such as correcting the trimming and shoeing, is important to prevent further damage to the hoof.
The cost of shoeing a horse varies greatly according to what area you are located in, what size of horse you are shoeing, and how many shoes you are putting on. As an example, in California for an average sized horse you might pay $90 for a full set of 4 shoes including the trimming. For a trim with just front shoes you might pay $75. For a draft horse you might pay $250 for a full set with trim, or $180 for just front shoes and a trim. Growing popularity is barefoot trimming which has a wide variety of pricing as well... $40 - $75 Shoeing should be done every 6 weeks.
Uneven wear on the hoof: If you notice that one side of the hoof is significantly more worn down than the other, it may be a sign that your horse needs re-shoeing. Difficulty walking or lameness: If your horse starts showing signs of discomfort or lameness while walking or riding, it could be due to an improperly fitted or worn-out shoe. Increased frequency of lost shoes: If your horse's shoes are falling off more frequently than usual, it might be time for a re-shoeing to ensure a proper fit and prevent injury.

Hot Shoeing : The tradition of hot shoeing was borne out of necessity. When hand making horse shoes prior to the machine made shoe era, the hand tools were not as refined as they are today, the old style hoof cutters were difficult to use as they only had one cutting edge which was very narrow, the rasps were also narrow so achieving a flat hoof surface was difficult, thus while hand making the shoe which was still hot from the forge, it was a better option to simply burn it on to get a perfectly married fit to the hoof. Cold Shoeing : Fitting a horseshoe without heating it in a forge and shaping it exactly to the foot. Source : Random. A more precise answer will be provided soon.
