This made me laugh out loud!
That is crazy for a TRIM?
Hubby does all mine, so cost of the tools and the few occasions we have to put shoes on have to get shoes and nails. |

Location: Midwest | TwistedK - 2015-08-14 12:11 PM In San Diego we were paying $50 for a trim, $80 for front shoes and $120 for a full set. This is round about what I pay about an hour and a half south of Chicago.
There are cheaper farriers in my area, and more expensive too. I chose mine because he has kept my horses sound for 15 years and always been there when I need him. He is retiring soon and I am now using his apprentice, whos is my age and I've known him since we were kids. He does amazing work. Worth every penny.
I've seen the work of cheaper farriers around and I'm happy to pay more LOL.
I will say that prices vary quite a bit though with the different areas of the country, or heck even within my state. Seems to be cheaper in more rural areas several hours out from a city.
ETA I think the trim is 40... and mine wears eventers instead of regular shoes, so take that into consideration.

| I pay $125 for a full set from my fantastic farrier.
I paid $100 for a full set that I pulled off right after and fired the farrier.
If my awesome guy charged $75, I'd pay. If he charged $150, I'd pay.

I actually get a deal. My farrier also does a lot of hunter and Jumpers and charges 500.00 a head and is booked so solid I can barely get an appointment. He does about 10 head a day at 500/head. Thats really good money!!! |

Sorry, don't know what he charges for fronts only as I've never needed them.
I agree that in some rural area's you'll find the work a bit cheaper, but price doesn't ever seem to equate to quality of work in the farrier business. I have personally seen a gal pay $185 for a set of shoes that I would have fired the guy and lambasted him all over the internet for putting on my horse ..... |

| This is what my farrier charges. And anything else needed like pads, thermal imaging, packing etc are going to cost more. I hate paying this much, but this guy is worth every penny lol. Although I do have seven horses, so the ones that I'm not running or using I will trim them myself to save some money
Trim $40, if you have more than 2 horses then its $35
Front shoes $90
All around $140

Location: Four Corners Colorado | After learning to trim my own and doing it for years, I have come to the conclusion that farriers don't charge enough. I feel $50 to trim is a fair price, to trim a well behaved horse. I'd tac on extra if the horse is a pain Lol. $100-$120 is probably fair for shoes. If you are way out of the way or not on the schedule I'd expect a trip charge. |

Fronts: he would charge me $85; I don't currently have any that need shoes. Also had a quote from my daughters English trainer's farrier $135, $175 for all 4. |

I pay $50 trim, $125 for 2, $225 for 4 and my guy is averagely priced.
That's what I get for living in the NE where even breathing is an expense…
I will see the $300-500 range when it comes to aluminums, drill & taps, special pads, etc. But I'm talking high end HJ/dressage horses.

Same here!! Hahahaha!! We had a guy come do 2 trims and 2 full sets. I wasn't happy with either of my trims and hubby's head horse pulled a front shoe in a week. Not to mention they looked overdue after 2 weeks he left them so long. So instead of paying someone that doesn't care about my horses, hubby does them. He takes his time bc he knows I'm a perfectionist lol. And my horses' feet look great again!

Heaven forbid I would have to add a farrier charge onto this mess. However my husband is growing very weary of shoeing this horse. 
We're having another farrier come give his .02 on the horse this week, I expect the bill to be $100 or more just for his farrier work, not including our regular cost of supplies above. sigh |

My gelding has to have full pads and equfill from some time spent with a less expensive (read less experienced) farrier so his cost me $140 down from 160 when we were doing the hard poly pads, changed because the vet wanted something a bit more shock absorbing on him. |

Haven't priced a half set of reset.
May I ask who the podiatrist is and or where his clinic is? We used Charmayne's guy once, saw his article in BHN and he was in Weatherford Tx- at Riata. (Dr Conklin) He has since retired from shoeing but we loved that he was a farrier that went to vet school- a perfect combination- he said he could argue with himself as he left every client!
I cant give an accurate cost of what we pay as my husband does ours. But much like someone above said- you have the equipak gun, product, boards, nails, ect- it can add up quickly!

Wow!!! Where do you live? I need to move there!!! My cost is:
TRIM $40
HALF SET $95
FULL SET $140
But I did move from a wealthy community where it was common to pay $250-$500 for a full set. (Of course, most of these were racehorses, jumpers, and dressage horses.)
I have found that whatever the horse needs to be comfortable is worth more than vet bills and not being able to use my horse because he's sore. |
