 the shoes were not clinched tight or something (he has an intern that did
 the clinching) and apparently I have truly insulted the man.  I apologized
 when he came to re-do my mare's front shoe (she threw that one a couple days
 later), but he's really mad.  He wouldn't accept payment for shoeing - I was
 going to buy him lunch as well.  How does one fix this sort of mess??  Or is
 this the sign to get a new farrier?? I sent him a note and the check, and
 asked that he at least let the intern keep the $$ if he did not care to. :-(

This is not a professional--get a new shoer. However, we reset hard working 
horses every 3 weeks.
