Enhanced Hoof Power Standard Fees

Due to rising fuel costs, travel time, and scheduling parameters, we charge a trip fee for most appointment locations.

We accept cash and checks for payment, however our preferred payment method is by electronic billing using Visa or MasterCard.  Payment for all services is due upon completion of work - no exceptions.

Therapeutic or corrective trimming and shoeing, bar shoes, hand made shoes, horses with neglected feet, horses with behavior problems, and shoeing draft horses* will be charged according to time and materials on a case-by-case basis.   Higher fees usually apply for first time clients or clients not on the EHP appointment schedule.

We realize that not everyone can afford the level of personalized service we deliver.  If you want to compare our fees to what you are used to paying or what some other farrier service is charging, please review our Scheduling and Service Policy before you make a fair value determination

If you have questions about our fees, please ask them before work begins. We do not “hold” accept post-dated checks. If you need to “float” the cost of farrier service, you can do that with Visa or MasterCard.
