Usually I only put clips on horses that go over fences - though there are some exceptions. This horse has a hard wall that holds nails very well. Not that I give a damn what they think, but I've heard that some judges frown on clips in QH western pleasure.
Unfortunately a lot of what a farrier can teach a horse while shoeing it can be undone by those handling the horse between appointments.
The fact that someone's fannying about taking so long and not achieving anything and having to use stocks and then further affected by lack of achievement to having to pay so much for something that ought to be so darned simple! I've strong opinions that owners are responsible for training the horse..... That may well mean they have to hire a professional trainer if they don't have the wit and wherewithall to do it themselves. But 3 months to train a horse to stand and lift it's feet and behave for the farrier is ridiculous! And as far I'm I'm concerned it's owners that are totally and utterly responsible for subsequent day to day handling between farrier visits. And yes I live in the real world and know there's folks who couldn't get a goldfish to swim round in a round bowl and they can't train their horse to stand and be polite but IMO farriers already have a big enough job to do and as one of the most is looking after their feet, if the owner can't manage that then they'd be better with a plastic goldfish!
Yes I'm not sure why someone would think his price was to far put of line... Draft goes for 200 in my area and I'm in prob one of the poorest states in the u.s.... 19 hand azz hole of a horse in stocks trying work around the stocks is agravating ..take twice as long one could shoe atleast two light horse in that time frame if not maybe 3.. if the draft is really a pain.. also most will not even do large horses due to not really worth it to them or owners think it should be the same price as a Reg size horse.. also I myself have quoted prices with the intent of not wanting to say no but wanting to scare them away due to I just did not want to deal with it ..but if they say yes it would be well worth my time ..hell two drafts and I wanna call it a day..
Thomas most horseman or women is gone ..not to be seen anymore.. they have been replaced with the carrot stick..

Yes. Other than its usual slightly yellowish/ecru color, no. However, it can become discolored as a result of the oxidation of the nails(usually grey to black in color) leaching into that area.
For the record, I note that while you wear square toes, your horse doesn't.... Why plain stamped on the hinds?
