Hiya,
Just wondering what people are paying roughly at the moment for their horses to be shod or trimmed.

I am about £25 for a trim, and £68 + vat for shoes, it's extra for stud holes and anything fancy, I use Keith Hedley and believe you get what you pay for so tho it seems expensive..I have never had as hoof problem or bad service or the non turn up thing and if I need a job doing ASAP he pops up and does it. That's worth it to me and I don't even need to be there as he is happy to just get on with it!

We also use Keith Hedley, £25 as previous post. Always seemed good value to us. Have used Nick from Lairg in past, again same sort of money. Although much harder to get a hold of.
