Appreciation post: a 1948 shoeing log I picked up at an estate sale in Cheyenne says most guys back then charged $2 a horse | Farriers - Freelance Forum - The Community for Independent Professionals
$2 a horse back then makes sense when you think about what a day's wages looked like. My grandpa kept a ledger from his blacksmith shop in the 50s and the prices always tracked with whatever a guy could earn in a day. Fun find, you gonna frame it or keep it with your tools?
