The cost of shoeing a horse varies greatly according to what area you are located in, what size of horse you are shoeing, and how many shoes you are putting on.
As an example, in California for an average sized horse you might pay $90 for a full set of 4 shoes including the trimming. For a trim with just front shoes you might pay $75. For a draft horse you might pay $250 for a full set with trim, or $180 for just front shoes and a trim.
Growing popularity is barefoot trimming which has a wide variety of pricing as well...
$40 - $75
Shoeing should be done every 6 weeks.

What should you do if a horse throws a shoe will you are riding?
On howrse Pad the hoof with cotton and wrap it securelyThe most important thing to do when your horse throws a shoe while riding is to get off (of course) and check to make sure the shoe is completely off. Check the sole and frog of your horses hoof to make sure there are no puncture wounds from the nails. If the horseshoe is still partially attached to the hoof, the shoe MUST be removed before moving the horse. Sometimes you can do this by hand but you may need a set of shoe pullers to safely remove the shoe. To prevent damage to the horses hoof, make sure you feel comfortable doing this or have someone else who is familiar with the process to do it. People who trail ride often or for long distances often carry a hoofpick, a set of shoe pullers AND a boot that can be put on the bare hoof until the farrier is able to put on a new shoe. In most situations, it is enough for you to walk (do not ride) your horse back to the barn. Unless there is an injury or existing hoof problem, padding or wrapping the hoof is usually not necessary. A well fitting boot is a good thing to always have on hand for just such emergencies. Boots are a good way to protect the hoof until your farrier can make the trip to see your horse. (I highly recommend Boa Boots) Always use good common sense and your own judgement. If you think your horse was injured when the shoe came off OR if you have any doubts, ALWAYS call your vet or farrier to ask their advice before moving the horse.If your horse throws a shoe while you are riding what should you do?Pad the hoof with cotton and wrap it
3 ways you can tell if your horses needs re-shoeing?
Uneven wear on the hoof: If you notice that one side of the hoof is significantly more worn down than the other, it may be a sign that your horse needs re-shoeing. Difficulty walking or lameness: If your horse starts showing signs of discomfort or lameness while walking or riding, it could be due to an improperly fitted or worn-out shoe. Increased frequency of lost shoes: If your horse's shoes are falling off more frequently than usual, it might be time for a re-shoeing to ensure a proper fit and prevent injury.

My horse has thrown a shoe whilst being ridden what do i do?
The first thing you should do when your horse throws a shoe while riding is to get off and don't ride the horse until the situation is corrected. Walk your horse back to the barn. The horse will need to be seen as soon as possible by a blacksmith / farrier to replace the shoe. While waiting on the farrier to get there, (which could be days), you could put a good boot on the hoof that lost the shoe to protect it until a new shoe can be fitted. I highly recommend Boa boots. Your farrier may advise on the phone for you or another knowledgeable horse person to go ahead and pull the other shoe that is on the foot opposite the one that lost a shoe. In other words, if your horse throws the left front shoe, the farrier may advise you to go ahead and pull the right front shoe. This will keep the horse from being out of balance, which will put excess strain on their legs and body and can make them very sore. When out on long trail rides, endurance rides or anytime you're riding far away from civilization, it's ALWAYS a good idea to carry a hoof pick, (there are collapsable ones available that easily fit into your pocket), a set of shoe pullers and a boot.
