If her feet were in good condition before then it should be fine to ride her, if her feet had a lot trimmed off and/or she's never had shoes you may want to give her a day or two to adjust.

I would ride her around for a while at a walk today. By tomorrow you should be able to ride her normally. Horses that just got shoes for the first time in a while can be sore from it if they're not used to the new shoes. Also horses can get sore because there feet haven't been trimed for a while so the farrier had to trim alot off and the hoof new hoof is tender. She will act limpish on gravel and hard uneven surfaces. Just for a week or so. Then her feet will be toughend up. Don't have her walk on stuff like gravel at first or that will make her sore.

A good farrier should never make a horse sore. Ride your horse.
Now if your horse shows signs of soreness, get a new farrier.

I always wait a day or so to ride a horse that has new shoes just in case.

It depends on the state of her hooves and how long its been since she last wore shoes. If theyre a new thing to her it may be no harm to give her a day to get acustomed to the feel of them. To be sure - walk her out in hand on a hard surface - if she seems ok Id ride her away, if shes a bit tender, give her a day to adjust.

on the crack- in no way is a 'crack' hereditary, genetics with hoof shape is and overall hoof nicely being. What did your old farrier say concerning to the crack? grew to become into he worried? on the frog- is it malpositioned? Its not a great deal to have a frog that may not the 'suited' place, it occurs. Biotin is a huge for dry hooves, it would not injury your animal to have them on it. if your horse is improving with that, i might definately keep them on. Sounds to me you had a farrier that grew to become into attempting to make himself sound sturdy to you. consistent with danger particularly an ego too. i might go searching for yet another farrier, he's incorrect on the crack, it is not hereditary.

That would have been a good question to ask before they left. But, if you don't know the number then look it up. because on here we don't know all that was done with her getting front shoes, I would say let her rest a day or two to adjust.

She should not be sore after a trim unless her feet very very long and neglected before the trim.
She should be ok to ride now.

Joseph is right. If your farrier knows what he is doing your horse should be fine.
At horse shows people have their horses shod right before they show all of the time.

he should of told you that before he left. i am guessing if you aren't allowed to ride her for a couple of days he would have mentioned it so, if you just start riding her lightly the next couple days i'm sure she'll be fine, just try to stay off of rocky areas that's all.
