Winter Shoeing

Posted by Jack Seyffer on October 16, 2003 at 14:22:33:

OK folks ----- My stepdaughter just went to work for the paint horse journal. She sent me the email that I am appending to this. I am going to work on answers for her but I thought this would be a good chance for lots of you to generate propaganda, I mean good information.

Baron, if this should go over on the horseowners side feel free to move it or let me know and I will repost.

Jack-

Here are my questions. Thanks for your help.

* Who would be some good farriers to talk about shoeing in winter?
* What are the different certification levels for farriers? I was looking through the American Farrier's Association Web site and saw different ones. I wasn't sure which are the highest level, etc.

Background questions:

* What are a couple examples of what you would change in the way you shoe a horse for winter?
* What are some tips in protecting horses hooves during winter?
* What are some things that may come up in the winter regarding hooves that people wouldn't typically think of?
* Do shoeing schedules change during the off-season?
* What types of shoeing work for different footing?
* Anything else I should know about concerning winter shoeing?

Part of this is for her information since she moved to Texas - away from her long time shoer (me) and part will probably end up in the paint horse journal and I will make sure that the boards get proper credit as a research resource.
