It would be one thing if the job was halfway decent. But the nails are barely clinched and I could easily cut my fingers on them!!!!!! I'm trying so hard to not run his name through the mud. Trying to let it go....let it goooooo.....but every time I think about it I get fired up again.
If the clinches are not clinched, take a pair of pliers and clinch them.
If they are sharp, rasp them off.
If the feet are horrible, pull the shoes and invest in hoof boots. I would not renail this horse for 4 weeks |

Location: Where the long tails flow, ND | How the heck did the farrier not notice your horse was just done 2 weeks ago? How did it even have enough hoof to do anything?
Seems like a not very observant farrier.  |

Based on his job he's not one that I would ever choose to use. That why I never went with him when I moved here; I saw his work on other horses. My current shoer really takes his time and does really correct, beautiful work. |

Location: North Dakota | I would give your regular shoer a call and talk to him-guessing he will tell you that he will come take a look and put some minor fixes on the shoe job and you will be back to where you were headed before-the deed is done-be proactive and inform your current farrier of what happened and let him decide what to do! |

Location: Gainesville, TX | This happened to me year before last. Hubby and I were moving and I wanted to keep riding my two year old filly. She had just gotten back from the trainers and I wanted to enjoy her. I found a barn to keep her at while the rest of our horses were just turned out for a few weeks while we got everything figured out for moving. The BO met me one afternoon, apologizing, because her farrier had accidentally shod my two year old filly. He was supposed to have shod a 7 year old bay gelding. My filly is BLACK. And she was fairly dark at the time. I am not quite sure how you miss the fact that one has a penis and the other doesn't either. This farrier had done the gelding multiple times, never even seen mine. How in the world he could have mixed up these two horses is beyond me. He did a totally crap job too. Trust me, I understand your pain. |

| I agree with getting your shoer out to look at the shoe job and make a plan.
I would also hope the BO would be more proactive in the future.
When I boarded we had a shoer who would come during the day when many of us couldn't be around. If the BO couldn't be there to see that the correct horses we were she left the ones who needed done inside in the "wing" of the barn where the shoer worked.
I put more blame on the BO than the shoer, before leaving the BO should have made sure the farrier knew who else he was suppose to do and where they were at. Or had them pulled out of the stall/pasture and tied and waiting. |
