Hi everyone.
I and my family (wife, dog, cat)will be moving to the Malaga area in January next year. Just wondering if any of the equestrian members have any advice or suggestions.

How do you find the standard of work reliability pricing etc for a farrier/herrador compares to the UK? What's the going rate for a set of shoes? Where would you recommend to look at for starting a farriers business? Are there any British vets or farriers working around Malaga?

Any advice at all would be brilliant.

Thanks.

Hi Harwill,

Good luck with your move, hope you find work as a farrier ,

I Moved with my family to the Costa Blanca 11 years ago !

I mainly done metal fabrication work in the uk, but found in Spain little work in that area, also quote prices seem to be much lower than in the uk.

Any way your work is more specialist so I hope you have more luck !

Hi Tony

Thanks for your reply. Good info. I figured the skilled labour rates would be cheaper but as I don't know any Spanish farriers  I don't know how much yet.

Hoping to have 6mths to find our feet when we get there.

What did you end up doing? You obviously made it work as you are still there 11 years later. Was there anything you found more difficult as a Brit?
