Short version.
I have had my farrier for nearly 10 years, used to be super reliable and he still is with his timings/dates. His pricing is good, he is superb at his job and the boys like him.
Over the past year or so he has been "dodgy" with dates, not putting them in the diary for next time- various excuses.. forgot diary etc etc. I then have to hound him by text after text after text to get a date in for the boys. He very rarely replies but eventually does and the boys get done fine and on time.
I know he has been doing bigger yards and probably feels it's not worth his while coming out for fronts and a trim to me. It has crossed my mind that he is deliberately ignoring me and eventually I will give up and move on? Am I being over sensitive here, should I start looking for a new farrier or keep trying to get a hold of him?
All farriers have their flaws but this is beginning to get really annoying😖
