MAN! And I thought I was being robbed. I only pay $45 and that's with new shoes or without.

I see some here on this thread that pay more though. Are there a lot of horses where you live? There isn't around here and ferriers are few. Maybe it's a supply/demand thing.

I only pay $45 and that's with new shoes or without. So he sortof splits the difference on reset versus new shoe time and charges you in the middle ;~D

Our farrier charges a different amount each time I think... partly because he can't remember what to charge, partly dependent on his personal cash flow at the moment I think. ;~D

I pay around $50 when our farrier just resets Bay's shoes and pads, $75 for new, and he usually resets once, sometimes twice, in between.

Our farrier grandfathered the pony in at $15 trim barefoot, and I think he's charging $25 for Cyn's barefoot trim.
