Dear friends of The Forge Leithfield,

We want to take a moment to thank you for your continued support and for allowing us to care for your horses. It truly brings us joy to serve you and your equine companions.

As we all know, the cost of materials has been rising, and in order to maintain the quality service and products you expect from us, we are implementing a small price adjustment. Starting on April 1st 2025 (not April Fools!), our shoe prices will increase to $10, and trims will increase by $5.

We appreciate your understanding and loyalty as we navigate these changes together. Your trust in us means the world, and we remain dedicated to providing the best for you and your horses.

Thank you for being such an essential part of our community!

Best regards,
The Forge Leithfield Team 🐴❤️
