Re: shoeing

[Mickie Newnam <akelakhan@earthlink.net>]

I seem to be in the low end for trims ($15), but the high end for shoeing
($90 for new, $80 for a re-set).  My horse uses keg shoes but they are
adapted with trailers on the outside on the hind, to prevent interference.
My farrier is a bit higher than most in this area, but if he were to retire
I'd haul my horse several hours to another farrier a few hours away before
I'd trust any of the other locals.  Don't know if I'll pay extra for pads;
it's been too long since I had them and then he was supplying them.  I have
a set of Shock Tamers (rims) he'll be putting on tomorrow.  My gelding is a
pretty good judge of character and he likes him! My farrier also loves my
gelding, so that's a nice bonus, though he's very patient even with a horse
who's acting silly.
