What is resetting/shoeing a horse?
Sometimes at the end of a shoeing cycle (6-8 weeks) we are able to re-use the old shoes after we take them off to trim the hoof. It is not uncommon for a shoe to last 3 resets but there are times when a pair of shoes have to be replaced every setting and times when they will last a more than a year. It depends on many factors: The movement of the horse, the amount of work it is doing, the kind of work it is doing, the terrain, habits of the horse and others.
