I'm on the search for a good farrier and was wondering if people could share what their farrier charges for a trim please?
Based in North West.
Many thanks in advance.

Mine usually charges £25 per horse with reduction for more than 1 , he does my 2 for £45 . We are also NW and this seems to be about average .

I pay £35 per trim.
The going rate for my area in the East midlands is £25. I used to pay £25 but felt that I was getting field trims only, the ponies hooves are much improved with the change to someone who takes lot of time to optimise the performance of the hoof. I'm not saying that more expensive is best I am saying I will pay for the right job whether thats cheap or expensive

I just paid mine £400 to do 16 ponies, which included his travel cost, so £25 per pony. He does a really good job, not what is called above a "field trim". Never heard that term or the concept before!

Never heard that term or the concept before! maybe that's a regional term i'm not sure - its the term that was used by my childhood farrier for a quick job just to bring the feet back on ponies who didn't get much exercise - it was felt they didn't need any closer scrutiny regarding for shape or balance of the hooves

I gathered it was something like that - but my farrier wouldn't do that, every foot gets his full attention and a proper job!

Mine's been coming to me for at least 35 years, maybe a bit more! I'm his oldest client. He used to shoe them when I had any shod, now only breeding stock and youngstock with no shoes.
