What to charge?

Serendipity Zip · 02-03-2006, 04:55 PM

People at the barn liked how I cut Sara's mane so much that someone asked if I would cut her horses'. She asked how much... im not sure what to charge...

...Before...

...After...

Hmm, how long does it generally take?

I have no clue, I'm thinking like, $5 . . . but I really have no clue.

*Edit* Is it a cut or pull??

If you're pulling I'd say more like $20 minimum. If people are too lazy to do it they'll pay.

How much time does it take? I charged $35 for a pulling...

I used scissors.

The mare has issues with pulling, just like Sara. You basically have to use a stud chain to do it. Even if you just ACT like your going to, they go crazy.

It took probably like 5 - 10 minutes. I was thinking like $8.00 or $10.00

Ten sounds good to me.

Okies, thanks for the help. Any more opinions are welcomed and appreciated.

I would probably charge $10. I know that it doesn't take very long, but it being a "problem" horse, I don't think that it's unrasonable. I've done manes on horses like that... we had one horse at the barn who would fling you off of a block if you brought a comb to his mane and tried to pull it

BTW, you did a nice job with her mane

I started cutting my horse's mane rather than pulling (mostly because my time is SO much more limited now) and, honestly, it doesn't look ANY different than when I pulled it (and I think that he appreciates it more too

)
