The farrier.
We have lots of beginners follow our page, as well as lots of colleagues, but I thought I would touch on a topic today that may be some of our more beginners did not know, or perhaps our Horse owners did not understand
We have our Farrier set on a five week schedule. Some of our horses have therapeutic shoes, and some can have normal. Conventional shoes. Some of our horses have a four week trim schedule, those that we choose to try to keep barefoot but can grow funky if not done at an earlier time.
The shoes and trim care range in cost. The economical ones cost about $85 to trim, the more expensive therapeutic shoes can cost up to $470. I personally try to keep the most natural minimal thing on the horses feet.
Good fair your care is critical to the stress in their feet, not just the souls of their feet, but the bone structures in their feet also.
I charge a Farrier handling fee of $40 per horse when they are trimmed or set with shoes at our house.
Why do we charge this?
We are the ones that must go out into the pasture catch the horses, and then hold them for the Farrier, it consumes our entire day
To take horses over to the therapeutic Farrier, we charge $100 a day, as well as a $50 transport fee. Again, we charge this because it consumes our entire day.
It is extremely necessary, but extremely time-consuming. If you have a good Farrier, though, and provide good hoof care for your horse, you can minimize the amount of joint injections that you have to do, as well as making them as comfortable as possible. ♥️
