Vet radiographic while I was there. Chronic laminates. white line on back. I posted a photo of the hind a while back
That's a nice $1000 day, right there, and a lot of work for one guy, in one place, with no breaks...... but..... I always tend to feel less tired on days like that right after I stop to make a deposit at the credit union...
Sometimes I don't know wheather you guys are jokeing or not I don't think that would take all day. you should be heading back at lunch time
Rick I only have a 1st year at the moment if he could not handle that by lunch time I would be disapointed
3 full sets , 3 half sets and 4 trims....... working alone in sub 20 degree f weather, that's 5 1/2 to 6 hours of work for me assuming they were all horses already in my regular care and I wasn't sorting out new inherited issues. You got to drive there, drive home as well.....that would be a full day for this old body..... if I can't give the last foot of the day the same attention and effort I gave the first foot, I'm doing too many horses..... and like I said , that's a 1000 dollar day, that's $250,000/year........how greedy do we actually need to be? I'll let the youngsters set the speed records and do the dinks..... Dave
kin ell , i charge top end in the area and at an exchange rate of £1 =$2 i would be lucky to get £400 for that 1/2days work
Amazing, a man posts pictures of the work that he did ,as has been requested often, not a comment on the shoeing or how or why now it s hi jacked into how long it should take, value, albeit a pond of water between, and not a thanks for taking the time to post the pics or how the farriery problems were handled! you gotta be shittin me! ray
That was the day I had scheduled. Not sure if I should apologize for only doing 10. Nor do I think I should be congratulated. It was just the day that I had. It was a little over a $1000 day. If folks across the ocean can not make that for this number of horses I claim no fault in that either. I worked alone except when dealing with the vet as we resected a foot. He took the task of watching from a chair. I am very proud of the fellows that crank out the numbers. I can do that if I have to but never comes up in the winter.
Ya know, I read lots of claims on the internet about how many horses people shoe in a day, but when I do the math, it appears that they are either doing full sets in 20 mins to a half hour, OR working 18 hour days. Can anyone find a video of someone doing a complete shoeing, including removing shoes and trim (including knife and nippers), in a half hour or less? I would love to see the pace one would have to work at to do that, or the technique they would be using. There would be a lot to be learned from such a video, methinks. I've been looking but haven't found any yet. Regards
