Proper hoof care can be expensive, so it is important to remember what you are paying for. Prices do not just reflect the cost to trim and shoe a horse. They include the time, skill and knowledge the farrier brings to each horse to maintain their hooves for the rest of their lives. It is important to keep in mind, proper hoof care can also save you in fewer vet visits and fewer lameness issues – all of which means less time out of the saddle! (Source)
