I’m almost positive you’re joking…
But…for those in the room who may not get it - If a business makes $0, while there’s no liability to the IRS, there’s also no income to live on or pay staff.
Plus, the more lessons a horse does the earlier they break down and thus the increase in vet bills.
And the same salary I worked for when I was a trainer (I think I took home maybe $10 a lesson?) does not a living wage make. So now we are asking trainers to be on public assistance which they usually can’t get because they are considered able-bodied and then we wonder why they want to push clients to have their own horses and show.
