: : : Hey, I am looking for a remote clinch releaser. You know to install on the shoes of clients who don't call to get their horses reshod until the last shoe falls off...like maybe 5 months... This would be especially handy to have by this fall when I shoe for hunters not the english sort , but the big game dudes. Not only do I get tired of trimming all that overgrown hoof, but the horses have got to be uncomfortable too. Anyway I couldn't find it on the marketplace page. Does anyone know where I can get some and any advise on how to install? Are they pricey? I probably won't add the cost on to the shoeing job because I guess I'll get a little more business from a few clients then the usual 2 x's a year!!

I think I will start charging in 1/8 inch increments. Shoot some I did last month would have been a $300.00 trim. I have one "client" who said the hinds did real well stayed one four months but the fronts only lasted two and a half. Then there are always the horses that pull shoes with their teeth and thow them over the fence, have to no shoes to be found anywhere.
