[QUOTE="Katpau, post: 1816282, member: 9933"] All of our Arabs were easy to shoe. With the conditioning plus the competition on weekends we put on 100 to 150 or more miles in most weeks, and since much of that was on gravel roads, we would wear out a set of shoes often in less than 3 weeks, so my husband learned to shoe. This was especially handy when you lost a shoe in the middle of a competition. Before he started shoeing, we would ride to the farriers place, which was about 6 miles away and if I remember correct it was maybe $10 for a full set. Nowadays it costs more to shoe a horse than what I paid for some of my horses in those days. 😳 [/QUOTE]
