How much do you pay your farrier/ trimmer?

[MeganLindsx]

Just curious but how much does everyone pay to get their horses shod/ trimmed?

When my mare had a full set it was £60 but then we moved yards and I took her backs off and now its just over £50 (with a different farrier)

How much does everyone else pay??

 

[Alphamare]

Been done hundreds of times, if you use the search feature you will get your answer!

Me I pay nothing since my hubby is a farrier.

 

[SNORKEY]

I pay £50 for a new set, £40 for re-fits, and £15 for rasping. I think my farrier is one of the cheapest around though.

 

[JosieB]

20 trim 45 shoes front, trim back.

 

[starry94]

£20 for a trim

 

[indie999]

Was £50 a full cob set last year but now just farrier trim £20.plus bacon sandwich!!

 

[mulledwhine]

£16 for a trim

 

[springer1021]

£65 per set

 

[jaijai]

£65 for full standard set. However if horse particularly large or wearing something non standard eg heart bars etc a fair bit more.

 

[mountainview22]

£60 full set and £15 per trim as long as he hasn't come down to do just 1 trim, then it's £20, he lives/based 20miles away.

 

[wildflower]

£25.00 for a trim

 

[whisp&willow]

everything has gone up recently. trim is £35 would need to check the chequebook to see what the last set of shoes was, but its between £60 and £65.

(the cost of fuel is factored into that- my farrier travels the best part of 80 miles to get to me...! )

 

[Mare Stare]

£20 for a horse trim, £15 for a pony trim. Mine is a traditional farrier.

I once made the mistake of calling out a barefoot farrier who tried to charge me £40 per horse.

 

[TelH]

£160 for 6 trims and one set of fronts with trim behind

 

[Cornish on the Cob]

£60 full set

 

[ShadowFlame]

Don't do shoes so can't comment on those, but current farrier charges £15 a trim. He's pretty fair though, he did a tidy up for me today for £10.

 

[I'll Give It A Go]

I used to pay £60 but I have moved to a new yard where i use their farrier and its £80 which is a bit pricey IMHO

 

[cyberhorse]

I pay £75 for all round with road nails in winter. In summer I pay £60-65 for a full set with stud holes.

 

[Sukistokes2]

I pay £75 for a new set with road pins on the back. i have the natural balance roll top shoes, which i know cost more but suit the horse. i also usually pay £20 for trims but i got it cheaper this week as a treat. I am happy to pay a bit more because I have a fab farrier who I know can help with any problems like pus in the foot. In that case he is a lot cheaper then the vet. he also puts up with me ringing him when my horses are lame, advice over the phone is free.

 

[legyield]

£25 for a trim for my filly but she's always the only one ever being done and there's not many farriers come to the area as it's a bit in the middle of nowhere

 

[gocharliego]

£64 for a full set with 8 road nails.

 

[PoniesRock]

I pay £67 for a set. Am sure it would be cheaper for re-fits but I never have enough shoe left to re fit them

 

[Amaranta]

Farrier every six weeks £22 a trim

 

[Carrots&Mints]

I was paying £70 for a full set, and then £55 for refits (what a joke) so i swiftly moved to another brilliant farrier who charged me £34 for 2 front shoes and back trimmed, also advised me about taking his back shoes off so even better
Came up yesterday as my horse lost a shoe because of the mud, came out straight away and didnt charge a penny!!! (Put a part worn shoe on haha)

 

[becca1305]

Well from last bill I worked out- £60 full set shoes (£65 if only doing one set), £10 a trim - (£15 if only doing one). £65 full set 2stud holes in each (£70 if only one being shod). We are only just down the road from our farrier though so not sure if he charges more for travelling to clients further away I would imagine fuel would be a pretty substantial cost now

 

[Warmblood39]

I pay £69 for a full set with road nails farrier comes weekends which just suits me down to the ground as I work full time!

 

[Irishbabygirl]

£65 for a full set for my ridden boy - £20 for a trim for the retired chap. Think that's about average for my area.

 

[zaminda]

Varies, and seem to get a bulk discount but generally £40 for refits and £50/£55 for a new set, £10 for a trim, although sometimes this gets thrown in for free. Farrier is brilliant with my horses, comes on weekends and evenings, and has been known to catch my horse when I can't get near it! oh and he's always early!

 

[hudsonw]

£20 a trim, £45 fronts and £65 a set.

I had to have heartbars on my big lad and they were £75 but in fairness he had huge feet (horse not farrier!!) so didn't think that was allot to pay

 

[RolyPolyPony]

£30 for both mine to be trimmed. Trimmer is fantastic and the horses love her! My horse is a shiverer and she takes as much time as he needs. Really could ask for anyone better to do their feet.
