Location: Where the stars at night are big and bright, TX | My husband is our farrier, however...in our case every shoeing add the extra hind Kerckhaert's for his sorry footed hind-shaped front feet which he throws on a regular basis due to said sorry feet, the $5.00 spacers to go between the foot and the shoe, the $34 Equipak Adhere to keep them glue to his feet for as long as we can, the $28 Equipak CS which has to be dispensed from an $80 dispenser gun via the $35 mixing tips capped with the $20 cartridge caps, the $3 Castle pad we dispense into, and the $50 a box foam boards the horse stands on while it's all setting up. 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 |

Not trying to take the thread off track but was wondering if this is the same process you were describing? Pretty interesting stuff! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyoaFrWPo1k |

Location: Oklahoma | $55 for a trim
$250 for a full set with a podiatrist (this included evaluation of hoof and what we need to do to best help my horse). I expect this number to go down next time we do a full set.
Haven't priced a half set of reset. |

Georgia going rate for four new shoes is $150.
Out here in MO anywhere from 55 to 150 for four new. I was paying 85 for a guy that started out great then went to crap.
Now I just trade sex and a hot meal for my shoe jobs.....
Does he have more than one client?
Komet! You crack me up! |

Location: 31 lengths farms | $40 for trim, $80 half shoe $100 full set, no resets. 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. |

Location: My perfect world bubble | $50 Trim
$150 fronts
$185 full set
We are shoeing eventers - this is hot shoeing and usually includes clips. I did just pay $325 for a full set with bar shoes on the front and pour in pads. This was for a horse with bruising on the soles - he went from a 2/5 lame to sound. My daughter's pony wears aluminum wedges and I pay $230 for a full set. |

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!

My farrier: Trim-$25
Fronts-$40
Full Set-$80
Reset-$45
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. |
