I have started training horses for others. People don't really know me, but I do have references if they'd like to call and ask about my training methods and how I helped them and their horse. I wanted to start out cheap, and as I advanced in training horse maybe raise it a bit higher. As of now I charge 150 for 2 weeks and 250 for a whole month. Its 400 for 60 days. I don't think I am being unreasonable with my pricing. But a Superior of mine says I am charging to little.
At $250/ month, averaging 5 rides a week, you are earning $10.87 per ride. If you ride for an hour and spend a half hour grooming and tacking, you're earning $8.15 per hour. Consider your overhead and taxes and you're probably down to $5/hour.
Of course, your rates will depend on the quality of trainer you are. If I were paying someone to train my horse, I would expect to pay between $500-800/month, not including board. I personally would skip right over a cheap trainer because I expect to pay a premium for quality. Posted via Mobile Device
