FARRIER SERVICES

Performance Trim

Your horse's deserve the very best in hoof care, & it all starts with a solid, reliable trim.
Without rock solid basics, your horse is at risk of developing more serious issues down the road, including thrush, cracks, or worse

Here at Finger Lakes Forge, we pride ourselves on providing the most thorough trim and hoof assessment available.
Our dedicated Performance Trims are the ounce of prevention your horse's need to thrive.

We approach this process from a holistic point of view, first assessing the overall condition of your horse and it's hooves. 
Trimming involves using brushes or hoof knives to clean the bottom of the hoof of debris & loose material. Hoof wall extending beyond the natural sole plane of the foot is cut off, planed flat with a course file, & balanced in relation to the rest of the horse's limb.

Half Set

 Your horse carries roughly 60% of their weight on their front feet.
Without the right kind of support, your horse will not be able to effectively perform their job, or even stay sound.

Front shoes are most often selected for horses who are in very light training, occasional work, or with minimal soundness management needs.

Virtually every shoe we make is custom fit to your horse's hooves and expertly applied, providing your companion or athlete with the advantages they need
