Can anyone recommend Sympathetic farrier shipston area?

[Blythe Spirit]

As title really. I have a Grey horse who had an unfortunate argument with needlessly aggressive farrier who decided to 'teach him a lesson'. many months on after changing farriers (of course) having to have vet to sedate him several times he is now ok with sedalin and if everyone stays calm. I am using current farrier because he is calm and was willing to take on the job. But in otherways I have some issues with the shoeing Inc it's very expensive, he won't discuss it, horse looses a lot of shoes, I am being charged high call out fee when farrier does the whole yard (suspect he has deal with YO and I am paying call out for the whole job lot) - so thought I would at least look around so does anyone know a calm kind and skilled farrier in shipston upon stour area? Ideally not too expensive ... Don't want much do I? (wink!)

I know you are looking for recommendations, but if you go to the farrier registration counsel website there is a find a farrier app were you can type in your post code and get a list of all the farriers around you

Does Ben Benson go out that far? He is very good.
