We do not shoe horses that don't need shoes. Our theory is there is a shoe for every horse but every horse does not need shoes.

Troubled horses are not included in this price schedule. Rates for specialty shoes, pads, customized shoes, and problem hooves will be quoted seperately. Additional travel rates may apply. Travel fees may be waived at the farrier's discretion if there are are enough horses in the immediate area to justify the travel. Barn rates will apply to facilities having 10 or more horses on site treated the same day. Barn rates will only become effective after the third regularly scheduled appointment.
