The invention relates to a method for producing a horseshoe, wherein the following steps are carried out: a) at least partially viewing the hoof (16) to be shod in order to determine the required measurements for producing a shoe that fits said hoof, b) processing said measurements in order to deduce a provisional shape of the horseshoe, c) recording definitive parameters of said horseshoe, and d) producing said horseshoe on the basis of said definitive parameters. Before step b), the potential existence of at least one area of inflammation and/or at least one area of reduced blood circulation of the foot of the horse, of which the hoof is to receive said shoe, is determined by means of an infrared detector (17), and in step b), the existence of at least one such area is taken into account in order to determine said provisional shape and/or said structure of said horseshoe.
