To trim and rasp unshod pony - How Much do you pay?

[Ravenwood]

Today I had Holly's feet trimmed and rasped - she is very good and it took no time at all but was quite surprised to be charged £23.70 (£20 + VAT).

How much do you pay?

ETS: this was not a special trip - he was shoeing my horse anyway.

I wouldnt be surprised at that!!Wait till you have shoes put on

!!Gone up alot!For a full set of shoes for my 16.3 it is now £55,not a great deal cheaper for ponies!!I realsise this is also cheap to certain parts of the south of england??

 

[Daphnelia]

I pay £15 each for my horse and pony

 

[happihorse]

I pay £15 for a trim for my companion pony. However, my farrier comes out to shoe my horse at the same time (which costs £58).

I pay £60 for full set hot shod - however since having this more expensive Farrier my mare's rubbish feet have drastically improved and shoes are lasting twice as long so it pays off in the long run.

Is that with VAT included?

 

[henryhorn]

£20, but to be honest he's worth it, not only do you get the feet perfctly balanced but he's rather nice to watch working too.......

 

[Cop-Pop]

Same as u - £20 + VAT

 

[Donkeymad]

£10 each, all in. He's really good too

 

[spitchwick]

£15 for mine.

[Chumsmum]

£10 each.

However, they are miniature shetlands and he has to get his nail-file out

And farriers alway moan about how low they are and how it hurts their back to do it

 

[sallyellis]

Not sure what it is normally - I pay £55 for a full set of shoes which will be going up to £60 in the New Year but as my two are turned away as I am pregnant just had their shoes off and a tidy up and my farrier charged me £20 for the both and he is a really good farrier and also kind on the eye!

 

[sueandtoto]

My friend has a shire and pays £15 for a trim

 

[molehill]

I do mine myself.You soon get your money back on buying the correct tools.

 

[GinaGem]

Generally £15 but my farrier sometimes won't charge if he doesn't have to do much

 

[Ravenwood]

Well it seems the prices vary abit then - unfortunately mine are on the high side compared to some of you.

 

[kerrylou123]

i pay £15 for trims. He takes time, and does a good job

 

[lilym]

£15

 

[RachelB]

£20 cash every two months. Don't ask me if he does a good job though!

 

[YorksG]

£20 to do the big awkward b* who needs sedating. Very good value!

 

[Maesfen]

£10 for one of mine, £12 if they're someone else's! He's a great farrier and he's a horseman too, brilliant with the youngsters and patience to burn with a cracking sense of humour!

 

[dunthing]

Our farrier charges us £10 for all shapes and sizes. He's very good and has done our two unbroken ones for the same price.

 

[Faithkat]

Current farrier = £10;
previous farrier = £20 (but that was a couple of years ago so god knows how much he charges now - he also charges £75 for a full set) - that's why I'm with current (just as good) farrier!

 

[Ravenwood]

Seems I am being charged quite a lot then. But at the end of the day there is really nothing I can do about it as I don't want to change Farriers - perhaps I will shapen up my nail file and do it myself!!

 

[ISHmad]

We use an EP and it is £40 for a trim.

 

[Patches]

I think I pay £20 too, all in.

 

[AmyMay]

I was paying £28 for Amy.

 

[magic104]

£15ea for the yearling & foal
