We've Changed Our Name, Not Our Horseshoes

 

Going to our new website in a few seconds, hang on.....

 

 

Canadian vs. US Pricing


     I'm sure that you've noticed that the Canadian dollar has gone to hell in a hand basket compared to the US dollar. We are absorbing approximately 20% of the exhange difference between the two currencies in order to keep the price of the horseshoes reasonable.

     The exchange rate right now (November 2015) is at 1 US dollar = 0.76 Canadian Dollar. We are also absobing the shipping and brokerage charges.


     Below are a couple of examples showing the comparison costs between buying your shoes from a US ebay site and importing them yourself or simply purchasing from us.

     It's cheaper to buy your shoes from us than it is to buy them from a US ebay site......interesting, isn't it?
