Re: [RC] New farm help - Steph E CaldwellKari Hanes wrote:I'm thinking of hiring one of my older 4-H teens to come in on the weekends and do some work. She wants to get involved with arabs (currently has AQHA) and try endurance next summer. What is the going rate for barn help? I was thinking around $8 an hour, about 4 hours each Saturday. She would be cleaning/bedding stalls, halter breaking youngers and helping me start my 5 year old. I made about $4.50 an hour in board/lessons this summer. Last year I made $12 an hour for barn chores only. I'd love to make $8 an hour right now for barn chores! :) The horse economy has gotten pretty tight around here and people aren't paying what they did before that!
