Location: The Lone Star State | My farrier just went up on me without giving me any kind of notice. I am now paying $110 for shoeing, $45 for trim and I have one horse thats fronts only $75. Not going to lie it frustrated me for a bit but he does show up like clockwork. Just curious what everyone else pays. |

| $100 for a full set. $40 for trims.
But that's discounted because he's got a full days work at our house. I think he's usually $120 for full shoes. |

Location: Muskogee, OK | $90 for a full set. $110 wouldn't bother me one bit if they do a good job and are reliable. A good farrier is worth his/her weight in gold. |

Location: Northeast SD | How much of an increase is this for you?
I say if he shows up like clockwork and is reliable and does not cancel on you it is 100% worth an increase unless it's more than a 25% increase then I would expect him to tell you. |

| I'd pay that for someone reliable. I spend 3 weeks each time just trying to get mine to show up. |

Location: Gainesville, TX | Yeah, that's cheaper than what we pay. I believe we pay 120 a full set. Trims are 40. We pretty much never do fronts. We always do all or nothing so I am not sure on a 'just fronts' price. |

| The cheapest I have found in my area is $50 a trim $100 half set and $150 for full set.. I just moved to my current area and I would pay even more to just find some one reliable and that will schedule me for every 6 weeks. Last farrier showed up once then didn’t come back when scheduled and would not return my calls. I must have insulted him by paying cash and having horses that don’t move.
I haul my horse threee hours to my old farrier which is $35 for a trim $75 half and $90 whole set.. |

Location: my piece of paradise | Yall have it cheap! I pay $40 for trims and $165 for all the way around. I will pay it though because my farrier is excellent. On time every 4-5 weeks and really takes his time and is thorough. Keeps mine stood up and no underrun heels. Biggest thing I see on other horses feet is toe is too long and no heel. Cant run on your heels. Knock on wood no lamness issues in 20 years. |

| Average around here in So cal is probably 150 full set. Mine is 100 but does a tremendous job and he takes about an hour or longer per horse to make sure they are perfect. |

| $110 full set
$50 trim
You should not be frustrated that is very reasonable. |

| I pay $160 for 3 horses to be done... 1 just has front shoes and the other 2 are just trims. Hes very good and very reliable. I'd pay whatever he asked.. finding GOOD RELIABLE farriers in these parts is tough! |

Location: South Georgia | $30 trims and $90 shod with pads on fronts ($80 or $85 without pads, I think). I board at a barn with about 40 horses (some are on different rotations, but he can get at least 8 done in one visit), so I never have a problem getting him out when needed, thankfully. However, I am sure that's just because we are a big account for him. I hear others talking about how hard it is to reach him.

| I pay $180 for a full set which is super expensive to me, BUT....
-he sets my appointments 5-6 weeks in advance
-ALWAYS shows up within his window he gives me
-usually available same day for lost shoes
I started using him after I bought a very expensive-to-me horse and within a few months, she was lame because of a different farrier. It’s much cheaper for me to pay the $180 than pay less, plus vet bills, and have a horse I can’t ride. :) |

You're getting a good deal, and if he shows up when he says he is thats even better, I know alot of people that have a hard time with their farriers notshowing up on said date, I have a good one that shows up the date he says hes coming and if hes running behind he will call to tell me.. 50 for trims and 120 I think for a full set and 80 for the fronts. |

Location: Illinois | Mine is $40 for trim, $85 for fronts, and $120 for full set. He's super reliable and very flexible if I need to change the appointment. He comes out within 48 hours of a pulled shoe, usually 24 hours, and never charges. He makes his own shoes and can get as custom as we want and doesn't charge extra unless pads are needed. He makes me a side bone shoe right now and modifies it so it's still got the concave like a rim for traction, it's pretty neat and has helped my gelding a lot. |
