Some may remember how I’ve had a barefoot trimmer out, it was kind of a last resort at the time but he’s great and I feel like I’m learning more just recently about my horses feet than I’ve ever known (shamefully)
He’s been trimming 3, oz who’s had the issues and the two ponies who have never worn shoes anyway.
Then I met this local lady who’s a podiatrist and was really helpful at advice when I was floundering slightly! she also leant me boots that fit as mine didn’t, all foc. So I mentioned that maybe she could take on the other two.... I always say stuff without thinking things through!
So they are currently booked for next week but she text to say she charges £55. I just can’t really justify that when the other guy is only £30 (well it varies from £40 for one horse to £30 for 3, I assume it stays at that for anymore)
He does a good job, is reliable, friendly brilliant with the horses. Torro is nervous and he’s just so nice to him.
It just seems stupid to pay almost double for no real reason other than I felt I owed her one in a roundabout kind of way
I earn peanuts and was intent on trying not to waste money this year, I’ve so far failed by early January
How do I politely get out of this without looking rude or being incredibly embarrassed?!
