It stopped raining this afternoon so my husband and I went on a 5 mile walk. The farrier was supposed to come so I left $105. in the tack room for him for the 3 minis in case I didn't get back in time. He charges $35.00 per mini (while the other farriers around here charge $50.00, the same as full size horses.) When I got home the envelope had $50 change in it! His note said he charged $35.00 for one and only 10 each for the other two because he said they didn't need much work. (Those were my two driving horses.) Anyway, he could have taken ALL the money for coming out to service them. What a great guy!
A few weeks ago I gave his number to my teenage friend and her sister who just got their first horses. The farrier GAVE her a glove and a rasp and taught her how to use it between his visits. Pretty amazing! I will not even tell you what the vet charged for sheath cleaning my two geldings on the dentist day. It made the "half price dentistry special" a joke!!!!!
If you all have had any special treatment from a vet or farrier this year let us know!
