Do you tip your farrier for trimming or shoeing your horses? We asked our readers this question in last week’s online poll. More than 1,700 people responded, and we’ve tallied the results!

Of the 1,727 respondents, nearly three-quarters (1,220) said they do not tip their farrier. Another 223 individuals (13%) said they tip their farrier every time, while 207 (12%) said they only tip their farrier during the holidays. The remaining 77 respondents (4%) said they will tip their farrier if the horse acts up during shoeing or trimming.

Additionally, more than 200 people left comments about their farriers and why they do or do not tip him or her.
