Re: [RC] Continued... Cost of Shoeing - Suzi Maiorisi
My $60 shoer does an excellent job, if she loses a shoe he's out
immediately to replace it at no charge and she's (Holly) never had a problem
since I switched from the 'cheap' guy (sounds like mine's pretty cheap as
shoers go anyway!) to the good one. He doesn't do endurance but handles
several clients who do as well as doing lots of trail riding on the same trails
we have our rides on. I schedule our visits after he's finished shoeing
her and aside from his mother in law's death, he's never had to reschedule nor
has he been late. I'm feeling pretty lucky about now!
Thank you all who responded...I am new at this so I wanted a
gernral consences...what about extra's like Borium, or adding pads (for
snow)? And if a horse throws a shoe (or more likely gets sucked down
in the mud..lol), does the ferrier charge to replace the
shoe?
