How often do horses need to be shoed?
All I know about horse shoes is they are lucky. But I met someone who has a share in a race horse. They get billed every month for shoeing, even when the horse is not in work. Is this normal?

As a retired farrier I trimmed and shod horses every 6 weeks. Give or take a bit. If there was any major corrective work it might be more often. Hope this helps.

a horse needs new shoes every 6-8 weeks. i suppose if you are talking about race horses maybe they get shoes more often? or they do other stuff to his feet. i am sure it is normal tho.

Yes, it is normal.
My horses see the farrier every 6 weeks, but that still comes out to pretty much every month.
