I guess it depends on who's doing the trimming, I charge 40 per horse initally, once the hooves and diet are 'corrected' I drop my price to 25 a horse. With proper turn-out, trimming and diet I'm really not doing much more than "knocking the dirt off."
I recommend finding a trimmer that is a member of a barefoot organization, mine is the American Hoof Association, there are a couple of others that are good, I would avoid anyone that practices the Strasser method. Check credentials.

What are Common faults in trimming horse hoofs?
Common faults in trimming horse hoofs can include leaving the hooves too long, trimming them unevenly, not addressing imbalances in the hoof, and not maintaining proper angles in the hoof capsule. Regular and balanced trimming by a knowledgeable farrier is essential for the overall health and soundness of the horse.
How do you correct cowhocked horses?
If it is a young horse the cowhocks can be helped a little with good trimming and shoeing. But there really is little that can be done. Cowhock is common in certain breeds such as Arabians. There are some people that believe a cutting horse that is a little cowhocked actually helps the horse gets his hocks underneath of him and he can cut a cow much better. Unless the cowhock is very severe it does not really seem to bother the horse or his preformance much.
How much would it cost a year to get a horse hoofs done?
This will depend on the farrier as a general rule, the better the farrier the more they charge typically. But it will also depend on if the horse needs corrective trimming/shoeing. However you can expect to pay $200 or more per year for minimal hoof care.

Should you put horse shoes on your horse during the winter?
Depends on what kind of terrain and what kind of riding you are going to be doing. Some horse owners tend to leave their horse's shoes on to protect their hooves, but this can cause the horse to slip and injure itself. If you take your shoes off the horses hooves still grow as much in the winter as the summer so they need a regular trimming. The best way to go is a boot or pad that helps the horse not slip and protects their hooves.
Is it better to have shoes on your horse in the winter or take them off?
It depends. How much will you be riding your horse? What terrain will he be walking on? If you won't be riding much it may be better to pull the shoes. When a shoe is nailed on the hoof it can weaken the 'white line'. The white line runs all the way around the bottom of the hoof. It can also be a prerequisite of 'seedy toe'. When the hooves are allowed to go barefoot it will toughen them up. If your horse seems 'ouchy' for a few days after his shoes are pulled don't worry. This happens sometimes. It would be like a person that never goes barefoot and one day takes his shoes off. His feet have to get some callouses.
How much does a farrier cost?
The average farrier costs are: $30 for a trim, $60 to shoe only 2 hooves, and $90 to shoe all 4 hooves. However, this will vary on if your horse needs special shoes/trimming, and who does your horse's hooves. A professional will cost more than your neighbor who does some farrier work on the side.
What is horses climate like?
