You'll need to define "reasonable".

It seems that rates in this area (Northern VA) are usually 140-300 for shoes around. Depending on who you use.

Trims, 40-60.

Fronts only 90-150.

Also, are you looking for a certain type of shoeing?

www.horseshoes.com (http://www.horseshoes.com) has a forum where a lot of farriers post.

My last farrier was $25 a trim, and $115 for shoes all around. I realize finding prices that low with someone else is going to be hard. I'm definitely open to using a talented newcomer who is trying to grow their client base.

My farrier, who lives near Warrenton, is $200 for shoes all around and $40 for a trim. The newcomer farrier near us is $180 for shoes.

You are unlikely to find someone good for the price you are willing to pay. Perhaps it is time for you to take a farrier class, so you can shoe them yourself. If you become proficient, you can save a lot of money.
