When I move to my new yard, it is required of me to poo pick my individual paddock in order to maintain it.
I will be commuting half an hour to get to the yard and working a demanding job and therefore do not want to poo pick particularly as I want to use my free time at the yard to ride my horse.
I am planning on paying somebody to poo pick for me once a week. The yard do not cover poo picking on the livery services but are happy for me to bring someone in to do it.
I have advertised for this job on a website this evening and already had response.
Does anyone do this? What do you charge? Do you stipulate any rules?
Are people reliable and do they do the job adequately?
Seeing as it is a small, flat, topped paddock, with just the one horse in it, who is only out day OR night, it is a very easy job. The field is directly opposite (2 metres) the stables and therefore no arduous walking with heavy barrows etc.
I was going to charge £5 a week, does that seem an okay amount?
This job is really aimed at young teens who want some extra pocket money however I do not want people who are going to turn up inconsistently/not do the job properly. How did you know the person you picked is reliable (I've never employed someone!!) ?
I know I could do it myself as it is really a very easy task however I don't really want the chore and want to use my precious free time to spend doing things with my horse. I'm too used to not doing it to come to terms with doing it again and really struggled to find the time when I did have to do it three years ago.
