What should a farrier invoice include?

A professional farrier invoice should include your business name and contact info, client name and barn location, date of service, itemized list of services performed per horse, materials used, travel or trip charges, total amount due, and payment terms.

Should farriers charge a trip fee?

Many farriers charge a trip or barn call fee, especially for locations outside their normal route or for small jobs. This covers fuel, vehicle wear, and travel time. Typical trip fees range from $15 to $50 depending on distance.

How can farriers get paid faster?

Offer multiple payment methods (cash, check, card, digital payments), invoice immediately after service, set clear payment terms (net 15 or net 30), send polite reminders, and consider offering a small discount for same-day payment.

Should I charge per horse or per visit?

Most farriers charge per horse for services (trim, shoeing) and add a flat trip fee per visit. This is fair and transparent. Some farriers offer a discount when multiple horses are done at the same location.
