A guy around here doesn't mark up his material much because he thinks his clients can't or won't afford things like studs, pads, etc. He charges 1.25 each for studs when that's pretty close to what it costs him. Stuff like Vettec goes for whatever it costs him. I argue that if they had to pay for parts at the garage where they get their car repaired; those parts are marked up to 500%. What's wrong with a farrier marking up his material?
If your work is supierior to his what he charges shouldent matter sure you will lose some but do you want clients whos only concern with the soundness of there horse is how much it costs.
