$25/horse? Holy cow. Our farrier loves us to start with, since we have 8 horses or so, and shoe regularly. But at $25/horse * 8 horses, that would be $200!

 

Seriously, he is on our Christmas list, and we usually get him a nice gift basket, or if we've been somewhere neat recently, we pick him up something.

Wow!  I’d never thought of this!  What a great idea!  If you know if he/she likes wine, a nice bottle of wine or case of beer, or gift card.  A personal gift would be hard I think.  Of course cash works, too.  I don’t know how much a full set of shoes are where you live, but here in South Central California where I live, it’s $100-$125, so I was thinking an appropriate amount to spend on a gift would be $25 per horse.

I have always struggled with what to do for my shoer for Christmas. Money or gift and how much? Is there a "proper" amount/gift? What do you guys do?

 

Thanks,
