In my barn we are billed for board & training
at the beginning of the month. My horse is in
long term training though. If I sent a horse to a trainer for say 90 days, I
would not expect to pay the board or training fees for the full 90 days up
front.
I
was wondering how common it is for a horse trainer to ask to be paid up
front? I never really thought about it, I guess I just assumed payment was
made at the end of training. But it seems that a number of trainers (though
not all) ask for the money up front, especially if they do not have their
own place and board your horse where they are training it. I can
understand wanting the money right away if there is a board to pay at the
beginning of the month, but the money for the "training" part too
? Comments?
