Let us return to our muttons . . . should we link that article here about the special shoe the farrier has put on Barbaro's sound foot?
Special Shoe Aids in Barbaro's Recovery
Fascinating. And the veterinary farrier has high praise for the racetrack farrier who was shoeing Barbaro.
I shudder to think what either of those guys must charge for shoeing all round . . . and I used to think our local hoity-toity farrier was pricey at $65!!!!!
Mine's at $65 for normal shoeing... a little more for Bay's pads.
My farrier is a little quirky... he doesn't ever charge the same amount twice. I think he bills based on how flush is bank account is.
