Shoe costs?

[Bozzy]

How much do farriers normally charge for shoes? Just querying as I was pretty shocked at how much my farrier still charged me for re-fitting!

 

[nuffield]

a normal shoeing here in Shropshire is around £60 to £65 depending on how far they have to travel.
the actual shoes only cost about £5 so a refit would be quite expensive.

 

[jumpthemoon]

Well the last time I had the farrier I was using before I moved, he refitted without me asking (I was expecting new) and refunded me £2....(ETS I'd paid YO)

I don't bother with refits any more....

 

[AandK]

echo that, last time i had re-fits they were only about £10 less than a new set..

 

[pinkcatkin]

Normal set all round costs £57 here plus travelling charge £10 which three of us share. Trims are £15.00

 

[Hullabaloo]

Mine is £60 for a set, £55 for re-fits. The main cost is his time, fuel etc not the actual shoes so re-fits aren't much cheaper.

 

[pnap]

I get charged £60 for a full set of new, £55 for refits (which I hate and have specifically asked not to have again) and £40 for either fronts or hinds.

 

[Bozzy]

I normally pay £56 and it was £50 for refits. I thought it may be a bit less than that. That'll teach me for not asking before he did it, I may as well have just paid for new.....ah well, live and learn!

 

[wallyevent]

I pay £62 with stud holes and road nails all round, never have refits as shoes always too worn anyway!

 

[kit279]

Mine charges £55 for a full set and £27.50 for fronts. They don't charge for call-out.

 

[quirky]

Ditto everybody else really, refits are about £10 less than new which are £67 with road studs.

 

[DiablosGold]

I don't know about re-fits, but mine is just shod in front, with road nails, and it's £45. £65 if he was to have 4 shoes.

 

[saskia295]

A full set down here for me is £66

 

[princesskelly]

I pay £45 for a set of shoe's. That includes road nail's.
Dont no how much re-fit's are becasue never had them.Poppy has no shoe's left after 6 week's!

 

[lexiedhb]

Blimey, my share horse's owner has just changed to a new farrier, (old one lamed him!) and he charges £85 a set...... just confirmation that south east england is the MOST expensive place to live in the world.... hate it!!

 

[thinktwiice]

£60 for the full set.

 

[charlyan]

My farrier charges £65 for new shoes and £60 for a trim and re-fit.

 

[princesskelly]

Have to agree wwith you there. My friends live's in your area and she pay's £75 a set!
I'm lucky with my farrier.Only downside is he's not the best time keeper!But i book him for a day when poppy's in stable all day so i leave money and let him get on with it.I dont need to be there.Had same farrier for years so trust him.

 

[Ani]

I'm in Berkshire and i pay £60 for re-fits, you're paying for the skilled work, the pieces of metal cost very little.

 

[laura05]

just paid new farrier £55 for new set refits only £5 less

 

[Toby_Zaphod]

Warwickshire: £55 a set, £58 with stud holes, I have no idea about refits as never had them & never just had a trim either. No call out charge, I think call out is a bit cheeky really.

 

[MaverickMD]

I pay £53 for a set - dont bother with Refits - which, after reading the rest of the posts seems to be quite a good price - esp considering we are very limited to farriers where I am as I live on an Island !

 

[malibu211211]

Ours is £65 at the mo for our remedial farrier but they go up to £70 a set in April

Wouldn't change from him though as my boy's feet are great now

 

[arwenplusone]

£50 a full set with stud holes

 

[lillie07]

Christ

Are they remedial shoes?! I am in Surrey too and I was paying £68 for a full set with 8 stud holes! Last farrier was £50 a set also in Surrey. Both very good farriers!

Who do you use?

 

[lexiedhb]

No not remedial as such... the last farrier they had really did a shitty job and botched his feet a bit, so he has just put slightly too wide shoes on the front to encourage them to be less upright!

I dont know who it is as its only a horse I share, so dont have a say in who shoes him to be fair!

After this farrier has done him a few time apparently he can have one of his lower farrier's (whatever that is) and it will only cost £65... well thats ok then!!

 

[X0XbringitonX0X]

I pay £45 for a new set he will also catch them for me if Im not around. Had him forever so he knows the horses very well!

 

[ajones]

jack had a new set (fitted cold) and the 3 ponies has trims that cost £90 2 weeks ago.

 

[Keltic]

i paid last week £40 for 2 front shoes and 2 back feet trimmed and a trim for my other horse... i know my farrier charges other people more.... but i make great tea!!

 

[lilpinkdonkey4]

Oxfordshire... costs me £75 a set with stud holes... very expensive going by this post but he is fab and reliable and will come and sort out problems for free... oh and my mare can go 9/10 weeks between changes
