Farrier Services, Training & Clinics
A La Carte Farrier Services & Fees
Trim: $50.00 - $65.00
Trimming is the most important part of the farriery process. Proper trimming is necessary to achieve balance and overall health in a horse. Serious and chronic issues arise when a horse's feet are not trimmed with the correct angles or not left with the right amount of hoof wall and hoof material. Chronic issues can be corrected after several cycles of proper trimming just as easily as they can be caused by improper trimming.
Shoeing: $150.00 - $250.00
Noble Farriers offers hand made shoes for all horses whose owners are interested in fitting each hoof with detailed, customized shoes. However, keg shoes are also offered as an option depending on the horse's needs and the farrier. Seth Noble uses handmade shoes exclusively, while his apprentices may use keg and modified keg shoes. Seth Noble and his farriers are happy to explain the mechanics and function of the shoes designed for the client's horses.

Training and Speaking Services
Fees vary for all training services.
Training Young & Difficult Horses
Young, difficult or traumatized horses can be unsafe to shoe for various reasons. In an ideal world, horses will have positive experiences with a loving and patient farrier at an early age. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Noble Farriers strives to create good experiences for all horses and work patiently with horses who require extra work. The safety of our farriers is important to us as is the psychological well being of the horses we work with. We are happy to do extra training with horses who require special attention.
Training Farriers
Noble Farriers is looking to expand its staff to service a wider range of horses. Apprentices and assistants are always wanted. Seth Noble is also available to help improve the skills of farriers who would like to learn more about balanced trimming, custom shoemaking and correcting lamenesses.
