They can be a touch demanding and often have no clue how hard it is to work with there horse. I was helping my trainer out with her horse and in the asile over a lady had scheduled an appointment with someone to bathe and braid and the person never showed up. This woman was very wealthy and the trainer was going to ride the horse and she was in a bind with 30 min to go and very gross horse. My trainer told me to go...it was easy fast money. The woman was up my butt the whole time telling me her life story. I tried to turn it into a teachable moment and show her how easy it was to to braid...but no...she didn't care. And every time I would bump, tap, push her precious she would get mad. She ended up giving me $20 for all my hard work. I am not an 8 year old...I thought I was being cheap when I said $60 for the whole thing before I started. She must not have heard that. The trainer came and asked who she used because her horses braids looked better then normal. She didn't even remeber my name...I was refered to as "some lady who was mean to (insert horses name here)". sigh. no more show prep for me. I do know a friend that braids and she just puts her sign up at the show grounds and people call. She makes hundreds every weekend!
