Location: CTX | Full set is $100, trim is $40 and a small trip fee of $5.
He is not the cheapest around, but he does a good job, and is super reliable! We always set up 2 appointments ahead. He texts me the day before when he is coming and will let me know if he is running a bit behind.

Location: B-F-E | My farrier is local so no trip fee because of that and because I have so many horses, lol. It's $120 for new shoes all the way around, $90 for a reset, $35/trim. I think $60 for fronts only. He schedules my appointments ahead of time and is very good about showing up on time or letting me know if he's running behind. He's a young'un, just turned 21 years old, but he does a pretty good job. |

Location: NC | $85 for all around and $65 for fronts. Dont have anyone just trimmed right know so im not sure. I just switched to this guy about 4 shoeings ago though and I'm glad i did. (he has his hands full fixing previous farriers work) He schedules next appointment when hes out and if hes running a couple min behind he texts. He takes his time and isnt rough with them. |

Location: TEXAS | $125 for full set, $40 for trims. Very reliable and VERY good. Plus, he will catch my horses from out in the pasture and turn them back out when he's done (because I'm usually not home when he comes out). Can't ask for better service than that! |

Location: Northwest | $95 a full set, $80 fronts and $45 trim. My shoer is a prince, and he is very sought after. Comes every six weeks. Fits me in quick if I need something special in-between times. He's getting up there so I'm worried about him retiring. I try to get him random gifts every now and then to make sure I stay on the "want to work for" list if he starts thinning his client list down  |

If I have to have my new mare shod it will be $175 to $200, depending on which shoes. Trims are $50.
We, too, are in an area where horse property (smallest is 10 acres legally) starts at the million dollar mark with house only. Barn and fencing will go another half mil if already done or you can add your own. |

I just got a little sick to me stomach looking at those numbers, guys.  |

| North Central Texas
$85 full set
$55 fronts
$35 trims
I've used him for 7 years. We had one issue with his typical farrier behavior a few years back and I told him how the cow ate the cabbage, he never messed with my schedule again. In defense of farriers, I know a lot of people DON'T schedule regular visits, which floors me.
I keep mine on a strict 6 week schedule. Horses are pulled up and ready when he gets here.

Exactly! Alot of people don't schedule their horses regularly, then their feet fall apart between appointments. Farrier has to "fix" their feet everytime. Alot of people call/text wanting to know "Can my horse get done sometime this week?" You need to schedule in advance, not at the last minute. Some owners sit and text while they are supposed to be holding their horse, they dont have their horses caught when the farrier shows up, horses legs are muddy, they expect the farrier to train their horse to stand and hold their feet up. The list goes on and on and on. So I'd think twice about complaining about a farrier's prices, you all may be the "good" owners, but I am sure he has to deal with or delt with alot of bad ones. Plus being a farrier is HARD work. And the tools (good ones) are not cheap. |
