HORSE SITTING SERVICES AND RATES
When you hire Maine Horse Sitting for your horse care needs, the first thing we do is schedule an initial meet and greet and walk through. This is a completely free visit so that we can get to know your set up and you and your horse(s). At this visit, we talk with you about you and your horse's needs. We take plenty of notes so we have the correct information. We will also give you a few forms to fill out so we can have the most up to date and valid information for making any decisions while you are away. We want you to feel comfortable with the person who will be taking care of your beloved animal. We take this seriously.
Daily Rates................................................................................................................................... $30 per visit
Visits include feeding, mucking, watering, blanket changes, fly spray, turn out/in, etc plus safety checks for farms with 4 or fewer horses. Those with more than 4 the daily rate is $50/visit. Most clients ask for two visits per day. Texts are usually sent to clients after the pm visit, whenever requested. Overnight Rates..................................................................................................................$80 per overnight Overnights include two visits plus being at your farm overnight for farms with 4 or fewer horses.

For farms with more than 4 horses, please contact Wendy. Please note that overnights are only done in rare occasions. DON'T HAVE HORSES? NO PROBLEM - WE DO DOGS AND CATS, TOO!

Riding lessons in Hunt Seat and Jumping are available in Private and Semi private lessons. Lessons are always fun and relaxed. Although a strict instructor, Wendy never yells. It's important to her that riders not only understand what they are doing, but how and why, while having fun. Wendy's specialty is with riders with confidence issues. 1-hour private lessons................................................................................................................$45 1-hour semi-private lessons....................................................................................................$35 per person Lessons with Wendy are currently available at her farm, Few Acres Farm, for those with their own horse at their own facility, or at the facility where they board, as long as that facility allows outside trainers. If Wendy has to travel more than a half hour for the lesson, an extra $10 for gas will be added to the fee. This fee would be split between all riders. Wendy is also giving part time lessons and coaches competitive riders at Lupine Farm in Vassalboro. Lesson rates differ at this location. Please contact Lupine Farm for more information about rates there. |

Wendy is an amazing horsewoman! I've known her as a riding instructor for the past several years and her knowledge about all things equestrian is incredible! One of Wendy's most outstanding characteristics is her attention to the safety of both the riders and the horses. That is always first and foremost in her lessons and in her care of horses. I would highly recommend her as an instructor and as a horse sitter! |
