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 don't short their feet. |

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!!! |

| $45 trim only
$80 full shoes - add $25 if you want pads (pour ins or leather)
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 ..... |

I will say a few hours south, things get much cheaper. Same for boarding a horse.
It's more expensive to live up north and it shows everywhere. |

| 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
