My trimmer is lovely, she has done a great job with Ales feet but I'm considering changing to a farrier now.
My yard owners boyfriend has just qualified fully, it's a little awkward for me to continue using the trimmer although she hasn't said I can't. He is very good and knowledgeable, as well as great with the horses.
Because my trimmer isn't that local I am paired with someone I know nearby who is always on a 6 week trim cycle. Ale needs 6 weeks in summer but there was nothing at all to take off yesterday was just a very small tidy. I think in winter Ale would go on every 8 weeks like the other boys that live out.
Cost is obviously also an issue given that at the moment I am earning less, barefoot trimmer is £50 and farrier £30
My trimmer is currently on maternity, I'm going to let her know and ask how much notice she wants, I'm happy for her to come and trim him again as I'm not sure how much to give.
Any thoughts?
