So I answered an ad on CL. Sounds like this girl basically needs someone confident to put miles on her green qh because she's had a couple falls off him and is now nervous riding him. She wants someone to work him 3-4 times a week. I feel comfortable doing something like that, and I also just quit my night time job so I have time to do it as well. How much do you all (the people who do/have done something like this) charge? I was thinking $15 a ride, I think that would cover my time and gas getting there. She hasn't given me an exact address but it seems it's about 25ish minutes away from home. Does that sound fair? Also, does anyone have a sample contract for something like this? Basically saying, if the horse gets hurt while I'm riding/working with it I'm covered? Whenever I've done this type of deal before it's always been with someone I know either personally or through someone else, never a complete stranger so I want to make sure I cover all my bases after hearing about so many handshake deals going wrong!
