Our typical shoeing clients include laminitis patients, lame horses and foals born with foot or limb deformities. The presence of a veterinarian is not necessary for the most common shoeing procedures performed on horses with injured or diseased hoofs. More demanding procedures (e.g., the removal of hoof tumours) can be performed in an operating room under anaesthesia.
Veterinarians and farriers from outside the Equine Hospital can also refer patients to us for an assessment and shoeing.
