RE: [RC] Cost of Shoeing - bobmorrisTony stated <<< No matter how expensive they are, it is the cheapest part of maintaining a horse. Allot cheaper than the vet bills for a lame horse.>>> We learned, early on, you pay the farrier or you pay the Vet.. When you pay the farrier you have the horse to ride, when you pay the vet you do not have the horse to ride.

We have a great farrier, who is probably the best in the area. She is not cheap, the basic shoeing job, no pads is $100+. She is not the most expensive in the area but IMO is worth her weight in gold. She is a horsewomen who competes in cutting, barrel racing, reining (all at professional levels), so she understands the needs of the performance horse. I have never had an issue with loosing shoes, etc. No lameness, hot nails etc. She is not currently taking new clients. Also, she works with us by setting up a shoeing schedule depending on what we will be doing that year. When we do Tevis or VC100, we will set up the schedule 6 or more months in advance so that we are going into the big event with new shoes. She will work with us and offer advice and answer all kinds of questions. AND she sticks to the schedule is on time, and shows up! Which is much more that I can say for other shoers. Regarding reusing shoes: When we have shoes on during the endurance season the shoes get so worn that there is not much left. So they never get reused. Sometimes early in the season when the shoes are not that bad our farrier will leave the old set for back ups in case of loosing one. Bottom-line is get a good shoer and pay them whatever they want. No matter how expensive they are, it is the cheapest part of maintaining a horse. Allot cheaper than the vet bills for a lame horse.
