What is a Certified Journeyman Farrier?
A Certified Journeyman Farrier (CJF) is a professional who has achieved the highest level of certification offered by the American Farrier’s Association (AFA). This designation demonstrates advanced knowledge and skill in hoof care, horseshoeing, and corrective shoeing techniques. To earn this certification, a farrier must pass rigorous written, practical, and forging exams, proving expertise in anatomy, biomechanics, and custom shoe fabrication. Choosing a CJF ensures your horse receives top-quality care backed by industry-recognized standards.
How does advanced hoof care help horses with laminitis or navicular syndrome?
Advanced hoof care focuses on relieving pain, restoring balance, and improving circulation for horses suffering from conditions like laminitis and navicular syndrome. Through specialized trimming and therapeutic shoeing, we aim to reduce stress on affected areas and support long-term hoof health.
What is custom-forged corrective shoeing, and why is it important?
Custom-forged corrective shoeing involves designing and handcrafting shoes tailored to your horse’s unique hoof structure and condition. This approach helps improve alignment, reduce pressure points, and enhance comfort and performance—especially for horses with conformation challenges or injuries.
Why choose hot shoeing over cold shoeing?
Hot shoeing allows us to shape the shoe precisely to match your horse’s hoof conformation. The heated shoe creates a perfect fit when applied, improving support, durability, and overall hoof balance. This traditional technique is ideal for performance horses and those needing corrective shoeing.
How does therapeutic farriery improve mobility and soundness?
Therapeutic farriery combines advanced trimming techniques and specialized shoeing to address chronic lameness or performance issues. By redistributing weight and correcting imbalances, we help horses regain mobility, reduce pain, and maintain long-term soundness.
