Using "Nelson's Common Sense" shoeing techniques, a shoeing is pretty much
the same price for a dressage horse as it is for a team penning horse
unless we do forge work or have to put on pads or something special. 
Believe me, those folks who previously paid $125 for shoes on the front are
delighted with a $70 or $80 bill (even with a trip charge!!)!  :)
