Rates


$70.00 per hour
There is a two hour minimum plus the farm call- unless you choose to truck into Bobcat Farm.

No minimum required- $70.00 hr.

Farm Call = Travel time.

When gas is $2.00 a gallon these are the farm call rates...

Less than 1/2 hour away $15.00
30 min. $30.00
45 min. $45.00
         I hour away from my farm farm call is $60.00

When gas is 4.00 a gallon

1 hour away is $80.00

30 min is 40.00

You get the picture.

(A few years back when gas soared from $2.00- $4.00 a gallon similar to 2011 my vet's farm call went from $40.00 - 60.00) I'm only 20 minutes away. When gas went back to $2.00 they never reduced the farm call back to $40.00. I did, and I will again.

At $2.00 a gallon

The rate for 1 1/2 hour away from me is $100.00 Farm Call with a 2 1/2 hour minimum training session. The rate for 2 hours from me - say Concord NH or Brewster MA is 150.00 Farm Call with a 4 hour minimum training session I can train 1 - 4 horses during my visit.

Example gas at $2.00 a gallon, you live in CT it takes me and hour to get to your place. I charge you $70.00 per hour that's $140.00 for two hours of me working with you and your horse, plus $60.00 farm call - Grand total $200.00. 2 hours away $150.00 farm call as I will be in my truck for 4 hours total driving time. This will require a 4 hour minimum so call some friends! Each person can pay $70.00 for and hour and split the FC five ways.

Because of the nature of my job, traveling throughout New England, I require a 72 hour notice if you need to cancel (to avoid a $30.00 cancellation fee.) This needs to be done by telephone, cell (508) 479-5266. Please do NOT e-mail me with changes or cancellations. I do NOT have a secretary manning my computer. If you cancel for any personal reason, even with the 72 hour notice, I do understand but I will now require the full amount prepaid by check sent to my address for our future training session, before I will reschedule your appointment. I guarantee your money's worth!

I appreciate your business and I arrive promptly at the time we have scheduled.  If I run more than 15 minutes late, which is rare, I will phone you. I know you have a busy schedule as well.

OR...

If YOU would like to spend the time and $ on the road, you and your horse can choose to come to my farm for a training session at $70.00 hr. No minimum required.

NOTE: Split the Training Session

Give me a call ahead of time for your appointment. I may have another training job in your area and you can reduce my travel fee for you and someone in your general vicinity. 

NOTE:

I am licensed by the state of MA and carry liability insurance with Farm Family. Please check out my guest book. I gladly provide follow up phone support, to answer questions/trouble shoot and problems before of after our visit/s.

Thanks so much for visiting!
