Precision hot shoeing focused on balance, support, and long-term soundness for horses that need added protection or performance support across Southwest Florida.
Custom hot shoeing is ideal for horses that require a precise fit, added stability, or corrective support based on their workload and movement.
Custom hot shoeing allows each shoe to be shaped and fitted specifically to the horse’s hoof. By heating and shaping the shoe, we can achieve a closer, more accurate fit that supports balance, comfort, and correct movement.
This service is commonly used for performance horses, working horses, and horses that need extra support due to conformation, workload, or uneven wear. Hot shoeing also helps create better contact between the hoof and the shoe, improving stability and durability.
Each horse is evaluated individually to determine the most suitable shoe style and fit based on movement, footing, and daily use.
Each visit begins with an assessment of hoof condition, wear patterns, balance, and how the horse moves. This helps determine the correct shoe type and fit.
Shoes are heated and shaped on site to match the hoof more closely, allowing fine adjustments that improve balance and overall support.
We work patiently and carefully to keep horses relaxed and safe during the hot shoeing process.
We explain why hot shoeing is recommended, what adjustments are made, and how the setup supports your horse’s comfort and workload.
Custom hot shoeing provides a level of precision that cannot always be achieved with standard cold shoeing. A properly fitted hot shoe helps improve balance, supports natural movement, and reduces uneven stress on the hoof.
This method is especially helpful for horses that perform on varying terrain, carry consistent workloads, or require additional support to stay comfortable and sound.
