horse shoeing prices

[jk]

Just wondering what horse shoeing prices were in your area?

[fatslinger]

My horses have been barefoot for many years. The guy charges $50 per horse.

That's good . There are a lot of horses that would be fine just trimmed.

Just had mine done today.  $50 per horse

Our horse's are barefoot from Nov through March and then we shoe them. Our farrier charges $85 each for shoeing.

$40 for trims, $80 for shoes.

$40 for trims, $80 for shoes.

Same here.

For a full set or just fronts?

[KopperBuck]

We just paid $30 for trims on 3 and $45 for fronts on my boy Dealer. And by far the best we've had in recent years. Cost is not the judgement. You have to try a few out, talk to folks, see if you can't catch a couple after they've been worked on. We've seen a barefoot guy charge 130+. Nuts...

For a full set or just fronts?

Full set.

[KopperBuck]

Sorry. My question was to the poster, and I cut myself off. We're at 70 for a full.

I would love trim only, but I've got one guy that loves to stone bruise. Our other gelding and his two daughters before his cutting have great feet, damn near mules. Anyone here cleat? As we ride later and in higher country I've been thinking about it.

No cleats here.  I know my farrier re-shods all of the horses with cleats upon arrival for he and his hunting crew on their annual ID elk hunt.  And in reverse before he leaves.  That's 12 horses worth.
It pays to have a farrier in your hunting party. 

I too have one horse who requires full sets all the time.  He has very thin hoof walls, much like a TB, and is prone to cracking without.  The other 4 do not need shoes, just when we want to.

Lucky... I've got a brother-in-law who's a shoer, but don't hunt with yet. Picking up what I can. In a pinch we could make do. Worth carrying a boot just in case.

Damn horses anyways. Hate feeding them, can't live without them. We're damn close on our first mule. Can't wait.

The guy I had last fall, was $25 for trims and $80 for a full set of shoes.  When we had the Clydesdale it was $80 for the trim and $200 for the shoes......he was barefoot alot.

Oh you're screwed.
