I was talking with someone the other day who mentioned the practice. I've never done it... not that I didn't on purpose... it just never occurred to me.
My farrier hasn't raised his prices in the three or four years I've used him, it's still $20 per horse. So maybe it's time for a tip! Overdue, even.
On the other hand, it takes him between a half hour and an hour to do all six, and he walks away with $120 bucks cash for maybe 40 minutes of work. Not bad. It's more than I make having a college degree.
But then again, it's a somewhat dangerous occupation (not due to minis!), hard on the ol' back, and he has to use his own vehicle and most likely pay for his own health care.
Any thoughts?
