Veteran Posts: 269	What should I pay someone for just exercising 1 or maybe 2 horses? I just want them to leg them up. Like walk, trot, long trot, and lope down the road or in the pasture. If its 2, ride one and pony the other.

I think you could find someone to do it for $50/week. Coming out 4-5x a week. It only takes about an hour or less from start to finish to exercise one. That includes grooming,saddling, hosing off and everything. I would never pay someone $20/per ride to just long trot my horse. At 30 rides that's $600/month and that's a training fee with feed/board around here.

Meanest Teacher!!! Posts: 8555 Location: sunny california	i think the pay needs to consider the level of horsemanship the horse requires. I have one that is a turd so it would be a training daily rate. the other is so sweet and easy so a galloper rate would suffice. yes i have to pay an extra turd horse tax.
