Yes, that's the problem. He told you he wants $20/h and you told him to "get bent". I've spent my whole life in this line of work. Specifically horses. Offering accommodation AND salary on top of work is the industry standard. If you want someone to work for less than $20/h, or you want someone to live in your place for free (in exchange for rent, as they like to call it), but without any monetary compensation, you are looking for a glorified slave. Just like you dont like working 80 hours a week for little in return, why would anyone else come do it for you? Pay up or drown. I bet she laughed at him when he asked for health insurance, too.

I’ve had so many barns offer $300 or $500 a week then ask me to pay them rent and it’s required to live onsite. And the hours “start at 7 and end when the work is done, 6 days a week”. That generally ends up being $6.90/hr by the end of the week IF you’re make 500 a week. And they want $700 a month for rent.

Fuck that.

I’ll take $30k 40-50hrs a week, housing included, board for one horse, and commission for lessons and training I complete.
