I am paying $100 a horse for shoes all the way around and I supply shoes plus $50 trip charge

Since he travels to my house I feel this is only fair since I live 90 miles away from him

I pay $145 for shoes (hot shod) and $35 for trim. What I don't understand is why it's not cheaper if they reuse the same shoe instead of a new shoe. When we were kids we tried to make the shoes last so these could be reused and it was cheaper to shoe. Now it's the same price - new shoes or reused. Doesn't make sense to me...

You are not paying for the material used, you are paying for the knowledge of the person putting the shoe on. A good shoer is worth a lot belive me vets are more

I agree. But i believe it costs more for new steel to the farrier to provide a new show. By re-using the old shoe he is saving money and could pass a little saving off to the comsumer. What you so think? even like 10 dollars a horse would be nice...my thoughts.

Depending on the shoe, a pair is only $4 -$8. Pulling them off, cleaning them, burning propane to heat them, new nails, etc. adds to the cost. Also if a farrier charges for them he should be collecting sales tax and have a TIN #which becomes an inventory and accounting nightmare. It's easier to pay the sales tax when they are bought from the distributor and provide services only.
