    How much should i be paid to groom at a horse show?

    I have been riding my whole life (im 17) and will be grooming for 2 people. im doing everything besides braiding for both. This is my first time grooming, but i know ill be fine since i have groomed for myself multiple times. The show im grooming for is an A rated hunter show.
    here are somethings ill have to do:

    horse 1 grey mare
    - bathe bathe bathe!
    - lunge for many many hours
    - feed and clean stalls
    - make sure horse is tacked and ready for pro. rider and owner
    - night check

    Horse 2 Bay Mare
    - bathe
    - ride and school
    - make sure horse is tacked and ready at the in-gate for the rider
    - put the last finishing touches on before the horse goes in the ring (wiping boots, hoof polish etc)

    Thats a lot of work but I wouldn't charge less than $150 per horse. Though i think somewhere around $500 would be better. I dont show english so Id ask around or look it up for average rates.

    $100 a day plus tip is pretty common, but it's usually for more than just 2 horses. Also, you may not get tipped if the rider is paying you directly. If the trainer hires you for the $100 a day, then the rider should tip.
