Frequently Asked Questions

How often does a horse need farrier services?
Most horses need their hooves trimmed or reset every six to eight weeks. Horses that are ridden frequently on hard surfaces or those with specific hoof conditions may need attention on a shorter schedule.
What kind of tack and equipment should I keep on hand for my horse?
The basics include a properly fitted saddle and bridle, a halter with lead rope, grooming brushes, and a first aid kit. Depending on your discipline and climate, you might also need blankets, fly gear, and specialized protective boots.
Can I board my horse and also get farrier services at the same location?
At a facility like Cat's Tack, that kind of convenience is exactly the point. Having your farrier already connected to your boarding barn means scheduling is easier and your horse doesn't have to travel for routine hoof care.
What should I look for when buying used tack?
Check all leather for cracking, dry rot, or weak stitching, especially at stress points like stirrup leathers and billets. Hardware should move freely without rust or corrosion, and any saddle should be checked for fit before purchasing.
Is shoeing always necessary, or can horses go barefoot?
It depends on the horse's hoof quality, workload, and the terrain they're ridden on. Many horses do well barefoot with regular trimming, while others need shoes for protection or correctional support.
What does a typical boarding contract cover in North Carolina?
Contracts usually outline the monthly fee, what services are included, liability terms, and the facility's policies on veterinary care, visitors, and move-out notice requirements. Always read the fine print before signing.
