Farrier prices??

[Steerpike]

I'm now paying £60 a set with road nails and £25 a trim in Mid West Wales

 

[spacefaer]

@Trakky14 can I ask who it is?

 

[AandK]

I’m West Sussex. £26 trim, £56 fronts (incl trim hinds) and £86 full set.

Updated for 2022, £30 a trim and £90 full set.

 

[Starzaan]

I pay £110 for a full set for each horse.

 

[Backtoblack]

£30 a trim Shropshire

 

[Lulay]

I pay £30 per trim Berkshire, but my wonderful farrier does come over from Essex

 

[holeymoley]

I’m now £59 for two front shoes with road pins and a trim behind.

 

[meleeka]

£20 Hampshire, but I’m part of a whole day’s work. I wouldn’t have a clue about shoeing.

 

[throwawayaccount]

£30 trim Cheshire, £80-90 for full set (depending on farrier)

 

[Hepsibah]

I was feeling a bit hard done by for paying £30 a trim but I'll give my head a shake after reading these.

 

[Mrs B]

£87 inc 4 road nails in Dorset/Devon.

 

[Surbie]

£25 trim, £45 fronts, £70 all round. Farrier's fab.

South London/Surrey

Updated for 2022 - from April it will be £25 trim, £50 fronts, £80 full set. Farrier still fab.

 

[Starzaan]

Just to add to my above post, I’m in Hampshire, and my farrier is about as qualified as it’s possible to be. He’s absolutely wonderful, and within one shoeing he took my old boy from doddery and possibly needing a bute trial, to totally sound. That sealed the deal for me!

Hi everyone,

What are you all paying your farriers for shoes/trims??

I have finally found a farrier that replies, they charge £25 for a trim which is more expensive that the others I have tried but he replies!

I haven't recently got a new pony who has front shoes on, she needs them sorting and a trim all round I presume he has said £55 for this??

Seems a little steep to me I remember when trims were £15 and fronts were max £40? But I know things change so just wondered what you all pay 🙂

I pay £82 for a new set, extra if I want stud holes, and £26 for a trim. Been with my farrier for about 25 years, I know I can get it quite a bit cheaper, but I’m happy with his work, and I’m a very loyal customer.

 

[tda]

£25 Per trim, he usually does 4/5 each time, haven't had anything shod for a while but I think last time it was £45 for fronts only.

 

[ed&arch]

I just found a new farrier (Cheshire) - stupidly didn’t ask for prices before getting them out..

£80 for a Shetland trim and pony trim

Won’t be rebooking with them anytime soon

 

[TPO]

I'm £30 per trim by a farrier but no clue on his shoeing prices.

Fife and Kinross area in Scotland

 

[Peglo]

I was feeling a bit hard done by for paying £30 a trim but I'll give my head a shake after reading these.

I pay £40 a trim ??‍ Not much options here either. Good job the girls are pretty ?

 

[OldNag]

£25 trim (bargain), £50 for fronts. No idea on full set.

 

[Limit]

I'm in Devon.
Mine are retired, so trims only @ £25.00 (went from £20.00) two years ago.
I book the next visit before he leaves, he will message a time the day before. Always on time, and 100% reliable. Worth every penny !

 

[Spotherisk]

I’m also in Devon, have a very good farrier who is on time, reliable etc etc. Mine also have trims, it’s £65 inc VAT for two cobs. Farrier was saying a full set is about £85-90 around here.

I pay £40 for a trim in Cheshire but they're Clydesdale feet not a Shetland possibly better behaved than the average shetty though
And thinking about it I did get a freebie in the run up to Christmas. There might have been a case of beer for the lads and a bottle of VERY good champagne for my farrier and his wife (she liveries my other horse). That was a first in 12 years of horses though!

£90 for full set shoes and road nails

 

[Archangel]

£20 a trim Carmarthenshire. He is brilliant as well.

 

[Pippity]

Mine hasn't charged me anything for the past three visits, despite my best attempts to give him some money.

(He's just rasped a couple of rough edges each time, not even a proper trim, and he's been seeing a few other horses on the yard in the same visit.)

 

[TheLoneWanderer]

£80 a set old un reliable utter piss taking farrier. (See my post 'Un reliable farrier) New farrier £75 a set, not seen her work yet but she was highly recommend

 

[lynz88]

I'm in Surrey and pay £25 for a trim. When I had wedges and bar shoes (+ road nails as mine would slip and slide and became very nervous on the slightest grade), I paid £130

 

[lynz88]

Updated for 2022 - from April it will be £25 trim, £50 fronts, £80 full set. Farrier still fab.

I wonder if we have the same farrier as I got a message last week with these prices.

 

[Surbie]

I think we probably do.

 

[spotty_pony]

£100 for full set with copper nails, £50 for fronts, £30 for a trim. I am in Lincolnshire. The price has just increased from £90 for a set but he is a very good farrier and has improved my horses feet a lot so I am happy to pay it.
