Showcasing Real Hoof Care Results

At Morrison’s Farrier & Barefoot Trim Service, we are proud to show the quality of our work. Over more than 32 years, we have helped horses across Crossville and the eastern half of Tennessee with everything from routine barefoot trims to advanced therapeutic shoeing and hoof reconstruction. This gallery section highlights what horse owners can expect when working with a certified master farrier—visible, measurable improvements in balance, comfort, and overall hoof health.

We use photos as a way to demonstrate our methods and educate clients. Seeing the difference in before-and-after examples helps horse owners recognize how important regular trimming, shoeing, and preventative care are to a horse’s long-term soundness.

Before-and-After Examples of Farrier Work

Barefoot Trims

Before: Long toes, flares, and uneven heels often leave horses unbalanced and prone to chipping.

After: Properly balanced trims restore symmetry, correct breakover, and create a solid foundation for movement. Horses leave standing straighter and striding more freely.

Custom and Corrective Shoeing

Before: Horses showing shortened strides, collapsing heels, or lameness caused by poor mechanics.

After: Custom-fit shoes distribute weight evenly, relieve stress on soft tissues, and improve alignment. Owners immediately notice smoother gaits and greater comfort.

White Line Disease Treatment

Hoof Reconstruction

Why Visual Proof Matters

Photos provide an honest record of the changes farriery makes. Owners see their horses daily, which can make subtle improvements difficult to notice. Documented before-and-after results highlight progress that might otherwise be overlooked. They also prove the effectiveness of corrective and preventative care, giving horse owners peace of mind.

How We Approach Every Case

Our gallery reflects not just the finished result, but also the careful process behind it. Each horse we work with goes through four steps:

Initial Assessment

Evaluating hoof balance, conformation, and wear.

Consultation

Discussing goals with the owner, whether for trail riding, competition, or rehabilitation.

Application

Trimming, shoeing, or repair performed with precision, patience, and skill.

Follow-Up

Offering guidance for ongoing care and, when requested, progress photos for owner records.

This method ensures that every case receives consistency, accuracy, and the same high standard of care.

Educational Value of Farrier Photos

Our gallery is not just about showcasing results—it’s also an educational tool. Owners can learn how hoof balance affects stride, why cracks must be addressed early, and how proper shoeing supports recovery. By seeing how issues improve over time, clients gain the knowledge to maintain healthier horses between visits.
