What's the going rate for horse checking services?

[meesha]

I have a fab lady who does my 2 when I'm away, she lives about 5 miles away but does someone else's horses 0.5 miles away but not every day.

I think she is under charging me. She visits twice a day and at moment moves electric fence and poo picks, only 20 min's work but she has to travel as well.

How much would you expect to pay per visit.? And then in winter if 40 mins with mucking out how much then per visit ?

I have been paying her more than she asked for but feel ought to have a calculation to work to.

I'd pay her minimum for one hour . So around £15?

£20 minimum

Thanks guys, she is massively under charging me. I pay her more than she asks for but will work out a calculation going forwards. Last time she did just 1 horse ... 14 visits £60!!! Paid her substantially more. This time 18 visits £100 !! ...don't want to lose her if she decides not worth doing so will obviously pay her more again !! Hacking with her soon so will have a chat lol.

I charge £15 per visit which covers fuel and up to one hour of work (the one I do usually is about a 10 minute drive away) any further hours are an extra £10.
