2024 Pricing:

 

General Info during my Session with your Horse:

* I am happy to use my own preferred grooming & bathing tools and products at no extra charge, or I can use your horse's own tools and supplies if you would prefer.  Additional tools, supplies, products and any topicals and medical supplies or recommendations for your horse will need to be provided as-needed.

* Taking your horse for a few minutes of hand-grazing is optional, if you prefer.

* I put back on any bell boots, sheets, blankets, etc. as requested before I leave.

* I provide you with brief notes via texting afterwards and make sure to mention any observations about your horse in case I notice bumps, scrapes, any swelling, odd behavior, etc.

 

* I make sure your horse has been safely returned to its stall/turnout before I leave and check their water source level.

* Please inquire about a flat 1/2-day fee or full day fees to help consolidate pricing for multiple horses.
