Just as a matter of
information, it costs me in northern CA $90 a horse for a regular shoeing
with St. Croix Eventers (iron shoes). That's among the least expensive
there is.
Wow!! I'm feeling so spoiled. I'm inland
northern CA (north valley) and I pay $75.00 per horse for shoes and $25.00 for
a trim. $20 extra if I get borium on my MEU horse. I get a $5.00
discount per horse if I take my boys to his house. My farrier answers
all of my questions patiently and explains what and why he is doing
something. He is also willing to do or try anything I ask. Best of
all, he handles the horses well. I always tip him, keep my appointments,
and he always bails me out in an emergency. And from what
I've read I should be very grateful to have him and continue to keep him very
happy. Can't comment on the NB shoes though. :
