Re: Does your farrier make an appt for the next time?
He always makes the next appointment at his visit. He has business cards, and on the back side it has an area for writing in the date and time. My farrier and vet work extremely well together. I have a recovered founder pony that currently needs trims every 4 weeks, while the rest of the herd (of 3)...

I think you are looking at it wrong, and it may, geographically, mean different things.
