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

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

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...

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.  :chuckle:

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.  :)

How often do you have to shoe them on average?

I do trims and shoes every 8 weeks unless I'm taking off for a 4-5 day trip with them and their time is right after I get back.  Then I will bump it up a week but that seems to rarely happen.

 :yeah:

We got lucky and ran into the best shoer we've ever dealt with. He calendars everything and will call a week in advance and schedule something out with us.

We've got one gelding that we keep 4 shoes on all year long, another gelding we put fronts on from spring until winter and then he's barefoot. The two mares have mule feet so they're barefoot year round, just trims.

Each horse has different needs, and as you are around them more you'll get a figure on it. The one horse that's shoed year round has weak feet, stone bruises easy, etc. Typically you'll see (not always) horses with lighter colored feet tend to require more care. Those with dark and solid color, in my experiences, usually have better feet. There are supplements out there to help with some of that.

It wouldn't hurt, just for general awareness, to have a doc stick your horse to check for any type of deficiencies mineral wise. Some of that might lead to an indication of additional care. Not shoe related, but we have one that has a selenium issue and can tie up bad if it's not monitored. Then you can adjust your feed or supplement. Feed can have a lot to do with it depending on where you're buying hay from. Just my  :twocents:
