I pay 80 every 6 weeks. Mine has close to 120 horses he does. most are just trimmings at 60

60x120 / 6 = About 1200 a week.

and you still haven't accounted for the cold/hot shoeing which runs even higher $. Add to that the fact that much of your income is cash and you can have a pretty nice little run. Until your back gives out

But at fuel and other expenses, truck breaks down, free call outs for when someone's horse throws a shoe etc and it isn't that lucrative.

good point. but nothing is if you don't manage your expenses.

And stay motivated!!

(why quit at noon with $750.00, if you can work all day and make more? just sayin)
