There is no hard and fast prices for shoeing a horse, even back in Colonial times. A farrier or blacksmith could charge for just about anything such as board /livery if the horse would be at his place for a day or more, he could add the price of feed on as well if the owner did not provide any, then there is the cost of the materials and labor involved. One source did state that in Colonial times a daily wage (not hourly) was $0.53 for laborers and $1.00 for artisans. Farriers were a mix of both these and likely charged their customers as such.
