    Riding to music making a suitable playlist? bit random

    I just like to make a cd of all my favourite songs of the moment, find listening to this helps me relax best as I like all the songs so this makes me happy! Sometimes I put the radio on but this isn't as good as they might play songs I don't like which just annoys me!

    Trailer towing lessons and test - Nottingham area

    I had lessons up there with some people called 'Diamond Driver Training' they were really good. Very thorough and I definately wouldn't have passed my test without their help. :)

    How much would you charge?

    I normally charge £10 an hour for grooming work. The above should only take about 30 minutes unless horse is particularly filthy, or owner very particular that they want an absolutely spotless bed! I'd say around £7.50 if you were doing this regularly, any less and it's not really worth the...

    You'd think so Amymay but actually this is not the case. I only charge by the hour and it doesn't take me long to do the jobs at her yard, and my DIY yard is quite expensive so I would be saving money if I moved to her place. It is more the time thing that I concerned about, I like to be able...

    I currently muck out and poo pick for her, I work as a freelance groom so her yard is just one of a few that I go to each day. I think the theory is that I would continue doing this and instead of her paying me (as she does now) I would get to keep my horses there for free instead. I do...

    Please help, yard dilemna!

    ldlp111, thanks, I will definately draw up a contract, have said to the lady we will need to discuss it so we each know where we stand. She doesn't have transport sadly :( Flummoxed, sadly yes in the horse world it's not uncommon to work 6 or even 7 day weeks ( I have had two jobs that were...

    Please help, yard dilemna!

    Hi, I'm not really a new user but need some anonymous advice! I'm having a dilemna with regards where to keep my horses. I have two and currently they are on DIY livery at a yard that is nice, it has good grazing, outdoor and indoor schools and is within hacking distance of local competition...
