I just found out that my (most excellent, superman) farrier is upping his charges to $140.00 per trim/reset (all four)!  While I think he is TOTALLY worth it (all the vets love this guy, he comes out quickly to reset thrown shoes at no charge, etc.,) I am curious about what ya'll pay for your trims/resets... |

I am sorry to tell you this Jenny but mine charges $75 for shoeing (trim/new shoes) and a trim alone is $25 and he is one of the best in our county  |

I'm shoeless with all mine - I was paying $50/trim for my favorite farrier but that was too much. I have switched and am down to $35/trim. The people I know around me generally go $90 - $100 for a complete set with new shoes.

Okay I pay $30 a trim and I don't have any in shoes, but she charges $100 for a full set, now the pad system on the one mare runs me a bundle, $200 but that's with a HUGE discount since she's a rescued horse, (normally the pad system cost around $500). She does many many extra things too, so she's well worth it to me.  |

I should also add that I only pay $25 a trim because I have 5 horses that he does all the same day so I get a good break.............

Well, that too. We get a break in price from the usual that she charges because she does everyone at once. The mare with the pad system gets her own day all by herself, but the rest get done the same day. She also only schedules one client a day, so if she's only doing one horse she charges more. |

Dang! Ouch! I wonder if the difference is being in a major metropolitan area. The guy I use does most of the sporthorses in our barn, but there are a few other farriers who come in for some of the other horses, maybe I oughta inquire... but I'm always afraid to change something when "it ain't broke." |

I recently had to switch farriers too, my farrier quit triming Gingers back leg, the one with the stiffle injury, so after two times of that, I got a new one. He did a great job, charges 35.00 and Gingers back leg was no problem for him, when he said he loves horses and must always own them even just to look at them, I was impressed.

Yikes, don't let my farrier see this. I am paying $20-$25 a trim depending on how many he's doing that day for me and $70 for new shoes. Woe is me some of those prices are CRAZY.
