Groom - how much??

[smokeybabes]

How much would you be willing to pay someone to say turn-out, change rugs, feed, muck out your horse?
If they were coming to do a few things with 2-3 horses (for example feed, groom, muck out and turn out) what hourly rate do you think would be reasonable? Or if they were just coming to turn out or change rugs what would you expect to pay?
If you are a freelance groom how much do you charge? Is it per hour? And what about mileage??
Thanks.

If they were already coming to do other horses then I'd think that £5 - £7 would be an acceptable figure per day.

I work as a freelance rider, but occassionally if someone is stuck groom as well, and charge £15 an hour, unless I am schooling and then it is £20.

Nat. min wage is 5.52, so you should pay at least that.
