Farrier Price Check

[stanley1234]

What do you pay for a full set of shoes? and then to replace a shoe that has come off? Particularly interested in farrier costs in the South East (Berks/Hampshire/Oxfordshire)

 

[Eira]

£68 full set . And its usually free if one of them falls off

i'm in Wales though

 

[1588]

£60

 

[_OC_]

Surrey based.......£72 for set of NB's and a tenner if one falls off.....which my sweet farrier replaces that day!

 

[MizElz]

£65 for new set, £60 for refit, £10 for replacing a lost one

 

[RachelB]

I am in south Wilts and my farrier is from Hampshire, last time I had my horse shod (this time last year though) I paid about £75 for a set. I have never had one of my farrier's shoes come off my horse, or my old pony, or my old loan pony who had rubbish feet and was hated by all other farriers in the area for losing too many shoes, so I wouldn't know what he charges to replace one!

 

[millerj]

£54 in notts

depends when shoe falls off if within couple of weeks normally no charge, after that aaprox 15/20

 

[galaxy]

£66 for new, £61 for refit. He doesn't charge for lost shoes! Very reliable and ALWAYS turns up!

 

[mcavity]

£60 in wilts, nothing if he pulls one??

 

[Law]

At some of the prices quoted!
I pay £38 for a refit and I paid £43 for 2 new fronts, refit on the back and 4 stud holes

Admitedly, my old farrier was £46 for a new set

 

[poiuytrewq]

In oxfordshire I pay £72 for a full new set £65 for refits and i only ever lost one within the first week when its free, not sure otherwise.

 

[Jericho]

35 for two fronts, 55 for full set, 50 for full reuses, 20 trim on the Suffolk / Essex border

 

[JM07]

£60 for new, inc roadnails
£55 for resets inc roadnails
£32 for fronts
£18 for hoof trim
somerset

 

[Gorgeous George]

I'm in Essex and pay £62 for a new set with road nails, technically it's £5 to replace a lost shoe, but last time he wouldn't charge me.

 

[Zoobie]

Surrey Dahling

Just gone up to

£65 3 degrees NB with road nails, no charge for lost shoes

 

[rema]

£50 for full set,
£40 for refits
And £10 to put one back on.
I'm in Cornwall.

 

[AandK]

If my ned had a set of normal shoes I think it would be £60 +VAT..
As it is at the mo he has NB shoes on front, wedge pads behind (£20) plus 8 stud holes.. usually £90ish depending on if he has refits or not.. it's a tenner to put on a lost shoe.. Farrier is totally reliable (usually early!), does a v good job (horse has crappy TB feet) and comes out within a day or two for a lost shoe - worth his weight in gold.!!!

 

[piebaldsparkle]

Surrey - £65 set, £55 refit, have never lost a shoe, but did lift clenches and remove one nail once and farrier arrange for another one to come out that day to put in nail and reset clenches as he was abroad............no charge!!!

 

[RachelB]

Actually I am shocked by my price now!! I didn't realise prices were as low as that! Then again, I wouldn't change my farrier for the world - fab customer service, always turns up or calls if not/if late, fab at shoeing, patient with the bad ones, willing to liaise with my vet to help take the strain off my horse's injury... I don't think I'd trust anyone else. I certainly don't trust the one who has been trimming her feet for the last 11 months as I had to move Maiden out of my usual farrier's catchment area

 

[Banjo]

i am Cambridgeshire, I pay £60 for a full set, £30 for just fronts, £20 for a trim. My farrier hot shoes. He is reliable, if i happen to lose a shoe a couple of weeks down the line he doesn't charge.

 

[Ottinmeg]

£55 full set with road nails, £30 for fronts and refits i think are about £40. also on essex/suffolk border.

 

[Eaglestone]

I just knew it .... as with every other damned bill I pay the most

£72 plus Vat of £12.60 so the princely sum of £84.60

x 2 so £169.20 every 5 - 6 Weeks

Beat that .... no road nails or anything special

 

[catembi]

£55 hot shod, full set. £45 for refits (my old mare is 35 & doesn't do much). Technically nothing for a lost shoe, but I pay him £10 as he's very, very good. Ex Army so punctual or early, faultlessly reliable, reads up on new techniques, does shoeing comps, researches solutions to probs... Therefore the odd £10 here & there & a bottle of Jack Daniels at xmas is well worth it to keep him sweet.

 

[SOB]

£60 full set and have never had one come off so no idea on that bit.

This is in Buckinghamshire.

 

[HayleyUK]

Cheshire based.
£56 for a set.
£10 to replace one that she lost, but it was a new shoe & not a refit job.

 

[Stoxx]

I pay £64 (I think, I'm not very good at remembering!) for a full set every 5 weeks.
So far only had one shoe twist slightly a couple of days after he was shod and the farrier came back out for free.

 

[piebaldsparkle]

Guess it would really piss you off to know that when I have stud holes, my farrier has never charged me for them!!!!

 

[Louby]

£65 for a new set with road nails, £10 to replace one if lost.

 

[caemar1]

£55 for a full set, £45 for a refit, £15 for a trim.

I have never had to get a lost one put back on so I dont know about that.

I am in Lancashire.

Only had stud holes on my TB and the last time was in 2005 ... I think he charged about 75p plus VAT of course for each of them ( or it may have been £1 plus VAT )
