How to Use This Calculator
- Select Hoof Growth Rate (Slow, Normal, or Fast) based on the horse's observed growth.
- Choose Primary Work Surface (Trail, Arena, or Pasture) — hard ground accelerates wear.
- Toggle Shod or Barefoot — shod horses typically need visits every 6-8 weeks.
- Review Visits per Year and Weeks Between visits to plan the farrier schedule.
- Adjust interval seasonally — growth accelerates in spring/summer and slows in winter.
