$450 a good price2007-11-24 21:09:43

We are looking for training for my 3 year old quarter horse gelding. I talked to the owner of Rafter6quarterhorses and said they would train him for $450. This includes:

45 days traning

board, feed, etc.

However, I'm questioning how much training they will get done. This horse of mine is VERY energetic. He's like a big puppy dog. I'm not sure how much they would get done with him in 45 days.

Should I maybe see if they would come out and look at him first? So that they could get to know him a little, just to see that they're dealing with and then MAYBE they would have an idea on how much they would get done in 45 days?

Answers:

Being a trainer myself I would say that $450 for 45 days of training is a good deal if the trainer knows what they are doing. 45 days is actually a good bit of training...But that much time can make or break your horse. A trainer can do alot of good in 45 days or they can do alot of damage in 45 days...my advice to you is to ask around & talk to people who have personally had their horse in training there. Find out if they were satisfied & would reccommend you taking your horse there. I am always happy to give potential clients references that they can talk to before bringing a horse to me..I feel any reputable trainer should be willing to do the same. If you get good references & decide to take your horse there...be a responsible owner & keep an eye on things..if at any time you don't like whats going on, you absolutely have the right to remove your horse. Good luck!

That sounds actually a little low. Are you sure they're reputable?
