[RC] how many endurance riders shoe and trim their own horses? - Carolyn BurgessI'm learning now because I am so DISGUSTED at the work that I have had done by numerous farriers in our area. They all chop off the heels and leave the toes way to long. I have had no less than 10 farriers in 10 years. We live in an area where farriers can charge upwards of $300/4 shoes, so many look at this as a lucrative career and couldn't give two sh*ts about what their work will do to the horse. While I have done my share of firing farriers, I have been fired by two of them. They don't like my being critical of their work or asking them to do things a certain way. I certainly could do a better job than most of them because I CARE about my horses. Carolyn Burgess j marshall <jen4marshall@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: I am curious how many riders shoe and/or trim their
