Would you use a poo picking service?

I think I would pay but I would miss seeing the deer, thrush and examining the poop content!!

Holidays, convalescence, work-related time pressures could be the way in - do a good service and appreciation of not poo-picking could grow. I think if you're experienced and can say "oh I noticed so n' so's poo was more like a cow's pat today" or "God Almighty! I saw a massive worm in thingies poop!" would be an added benefit.

I'd pay £10 for a rounded service.
 
I pay somebody to do my poo picking because I really can't be bothered to do it myself. It's £5 a barrow but it's just a bit of extra pocket money for the person who does it so I expect I'm probably getting a bit of a bargain.

I actually quite enjoy poo picking and if I had loads of time I'd be happy to do it myself. I have a lot to fit in though and my time at the yard is precious so it makes sense to pay for this sort of thing so I can spend more time with my horse. I'm sure I'm not the only person who feels this way.
 
I provide this service as a freelancer. I charge £15 for the first hour and then £10 after. I'm normally pretty busy, especially in summer with poo picking. I do get the pleasure of riding quid bikes and tractors at some yards which make the task a lot more easier physically! I poo picked 21 horses yesterday though and felt that was just above my threshold of tiredness, but I did muck out a further 8 too ?
 
I have in the past (last year when I had 4) paid a friend occasionally to poo pick for me as it was getting a bit too much as I was so busy doing other stuff and I was struggling to keep on top of it.
 
Yes, depending on the price and if my yard would let me.

Poo picking flares up my arthritis so I try and pay the yard or small kids on the yard to do it. Otherwise I am in pain the next day.
