How much would you expect to pay someone to turnout your horse three days a week? Just taking from stable to field, no changing rugs or anything just simply turning out?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.
The yard manager charges £1.50 for turn out/bring in. She also changes rugs, puts boots on/off and picks feet out for this.
I don't think you can generalise with turnout/ bring in because at some yards the paddocks are adjacent to the stable. At other yards you may have to walk the horses quite a distance. I think it depends on the time it takes, then divide into an hourly rate & then you can come up with a price.
For most yards charging £1 for turn out are actually working at less than the minimum wage, grooms were charging £1 turnout years ago. Many horse owners want something for nothing & somehow expect grooms/YM's to work for the love of it & don't want to pay correct amounts for jobs done. Picking feet out, changing rugs, puting on boots & then turning out takes more than £1-£1.50 of anyones time!

Actually I feel quite guilty about that
I used to pay £1 I seem to remember but that was a few years ago
