Wondering how much you pay to get your horses shod on all four feet. A friend of mine is going to farrier school in Oklahoma, and I'm wondering how much he's going to make at this job. He has a lot of horse experience, so I know he'll do a nice job. And he lives in Idaho, where everyone who uses their horses must put shoes on them regularly.

What does your farrier charge?

In kentucky it cost around 50 for all 4 shoes with borium. In Colorado it costs 115 for all 4 shoes with borium. And if your friend is going to the farrier school in Oklahoma he can charge more than the average farrier. It is the best school in the country and people will pay more if they know he is certified through Oklahoma. I just looked into going to school for farrier but in colorado the schools are crappy and most farriers do not have any kind of certification. The only way it would have been worth my time would have been to go to Oklahoma, which im not willing to do
