How much do YOU pay for a set of shoes?

[floradora09]

Interested. We've only ever had one farrier, who charges us just over £40 for a set of four shoes. What does everyone else pay?

NB: My farrier is nice, but just a tad disorganised and likes to get into the whole "those will last another couple of weeks..." then the whole thing gets out of sync.

 

[scrumpygus]

£60 with road nails.

 

[3Beasties]

£55 for a set of 4 with no studs/road nails.

 

[BSJAlove]

£62 for full set

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

£56 a set

 

[floradora09]

Sorry, forgot to mention- £40 for 4, no studs (although if done last will throw in road nails for free!)

 

[Forget_Me_Not]

£80 for a set with no studs or road nails....

It's the going rate for a decent farrier in the South I believe.

 

[spacefaer]

£60 a set, road nails £1 extra each. Gloucestershire

 

[Dubsie]

£30 fronts only £55 full set.

 

[Rowreach]

Nothing (3 horses, 3 ponies) but I make it up to him in other ways

 

[vieshot]

£55 a set, south

 

[NeilM]

£60 for a set with road nails.

Not that I know of I also only pay £60 set of 4 in the south.

 

[charlyan]

£85 for a full set- no studs or road nails...

Very very far north so farrier has to add increased travel costs

 

[Archangel]

A stonking £86 including road nails. £25 for a trim. Can you guess that is Surrey prices?

 

[wizbit]

£60 for full set or £40 for fronts only

Good grief, don't tell my OH, he'll want to move back to Surrey, he never charged that much when he was there

Who is your farrier? (being nosey here, pm me if you like!)

Heartbars and gel infills. They may be cheaper if they were gold plated, LOL.

Previous to that they was paying £72 which included road studs behind.

 

[FFF]

£78 last time but horse has collapsed heels so they are trimmed a lot more and something different goes on with the shoes

Ahhh (light goes on

) That explains it all then with the heartbars etc. I knew they were more expensive but didn't expect there to be such a hike in the price
