Hogbrook Equestrian Centre, situated between Folkestone and Dover, in the Alkham Valley. Offers first class facilities and ample quality grazing for livery clients. Qualified resident coach and showjumper David Pearson-Smith is available for training.

I would like to start this post off by thanking all off my lovely clients, with lots of you being close friends for your continued support with me as your farrier.

As many of you are already aware, I am having a slight price increase. Due to rising costs across the board I can no longer sustain these rises.
I’ve tried to keep my prices competitive and I’m now at the point of being left behind the rest, with one price increase in 6 years I feel that now has to be the time.

With that being said prices will be as follows with immediate effect.

New set (standard) £80
Refit set (standard) £70
New fronts and trim behind £55
Refit fronts and trims behind £50
Trims £30
Lost shoes will now be charged for @ £15 with the shoe and £20 without.
Emergency call outs for abscess’s will be charged @ £30

Extras:
Pins will remain at £5 a per horse
Stud holes will now be £10 for doubles or £5 for singles
Consultation fees will now apply to deal with any referrals I receive, talking to the vets and reading X-rays etc. POA
Pads and pour in pads have a variable cost and will start from £30 a pair.
Dental compression material will be £5-£10 per foot depending on foot size.
Fabrication of shoes with inserts £30 per pair
Specialist shoe ordered in POA

I want to also remind people that it is payment on the day.
Zoe and I spend far too much time chasing people for money.
As harsh as it sounds if you aren’t prepared to pay me for my knowledge, skill set and time on the day then I’m afraid you will be finding yourself someone else to shoe you beloved horses. This only reflects a very very small percentage of my clients and with a waiting list I will be replacing you.

Horses need to be in and waiting. I do understand that my day does run late on my part. Things happen and I may need to spend more time than allocated with a horse, I’d hope you’d understand if it was your horse needing more time. If your horses aren’t in and ready for me then my day runs even later.

Thank you all so much.

Ben and Zoe.

Merry Xmas 🎄from myself, Zoe Pinion , kids and the boys 🐴🐴

19/12/2021

With Xmas just round the corner it’s made me realise how important family is.
This year has been a very very busy one for me and with that being said I’d like to take the Xmas break off.
I have work booked in currently but I will be moving people on a week so I can too spend time with my loved ones.
I will be around for emergencies only. No lost shoes unless those which are remedial cases.

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank each and everyone of you for your support and custom this year.

A nice keep sake for Sue Watkins and Nancy 🐴🐴

01/10/2021

I would really like to remind people that I would really appreciate payment when I have shod your horses , my books are closed and I keep turning people away , I will have to go through my books if this keeps happening , sorry

08/07/2021

*PLEASE READ*

Changes are coming! I need to start making decisions on how things are run.

It’s a shame that a small few are spoiling it for everyone else, it’s coming to a point where payment will need to be made prior or on the day for your horses to be shod.

I try my absolute best to look after your horses feet to the best of my ability but I too also have a family to care and provide for.

This will be my last post in relation to payments and if things don’t improve then I’m afraid I will have to take action. I really don’t want this to happen though so please make sure that payments are kept up to date and swiftly made.

Many thanks everyone

22/06/2021

Please can I remind everyone to please clear their bills , it’s another extra job in itself having to look to see who hasn’t paid, many thanks Ben and Zoe

Hi Guys yesterday I received a phone call from the hospital with a cancellation appointment for my injections for my back, I have been waiting for an appointment since August, so from the 1st of June , I will have to have minimum of a week off , please can you bear with me as, I will fit everyone in , some may have to stretch a week, I hope you all understand, Ben

21/04/2021

Hello all, new payment system and additional charges starting with immediate affect .
I hate having to chase money owned , I ideally would like to be paid on the same day of shoeing , large invoices I will give a maximum of two weeks then I will start putting a charge on invoices , if this still doesn’t work I’m afraid I’ll have to receive money on day of shoeing.

Any vet visits that need shoes removed and putting back on it will be £25.
Call out for abscess will be £25.

Hope everyone understand but I do have a family to support with my business 😊😊

28/01/2021

A lovely gift I made for Nikki Bloomfield from her lovely friend Ree Miller 🐴🐴

Hello Guys , please can I ask all clients to clear their bills , I don’t like chasing them up😊

Happy Christmas to all of my lovely clients and friends.

As many of you know this year especially has been very hard with my back and id like to take this opportunity to thank everyone of you that have put up with me. Rearranging appointments to suit hospital visits and those days where I couldn’t get out of the house.

I appreciate every single one of you so much and I’d also like to say thank you to those that have moved on. Totally understand that you need to do what’s best for you and your horse and I’m sorry that I’ve not managed to for fill your needs.

I hope you all have a fabulous Christmas and a very happy new year.
