Remedial Farriery FAQs
Just a few common questions about Remedial Farriery. If there is something else you need to know just ask in the Contact Us form below!
Do I need a vet for remedial farriery, or can my farrier handle it alone?
Your farrier is central to the work, but a vet assessment is important when pain is significant, the cause is unclear, or imaging is needed. A shared plan reduces guesswork and helps measure progress.
How quickly should I expect improvement?
Some horses look more comfortable within days, especially if breakover or support is improved. Longer-term change depends on hoof growth and the underlying condition.
Will my horse need special shoes forever?
Not always. Some horses step down to standard shoeing once the hoof is stable and pain-free, while others do best with an ongoing support plan, especially with chronic problems.
How do I book a lameness and hoof assessment?
Contact Warrnambool Veterinary Clinic - Port Fairy to arrange an examination and discuss whether imaging is likely to be useful for your horse’s situation.
