Hey everyone! 

I have been away from the game for a few years and am just getting back into the swing of things. Prices have dramatically changed since I was last on. Hence, I have a few questions. 

The first is:

How exactly do most people want you to go about Private Show Training? Is the horse kept on their account or the trainer's account? 

The second is:

What is a fair going rate for this particular service? Since there is a bit more work involved than just enter all, is 400k per horse reasonable? 

The third is:

Is Private show training expected to be a long term arrangement, or is it usually week by week? 

Thanks so much everyone!

I look forward to hearing your thoughts!

In my experience people who hire you to do private show training for them want you to log on to their account and request/accept/enter the private shows directly from there!

I'm not sure on prices, but if someone is in a pinch versus they're arranging ahead of time for a private show trainer, you might get paid more for the in a pinch scenario. It really just depends on the person hiring you, and it's something you work out with them - you want a rate that is fair to the work you're doing, and of course they don't want to go bankrupt!

Going off of the previous paragraph, sometimes it's just a one and done if something unexpected comes up in their life, or if someone knows they're going on vacation or a hiatus then they'll probably hire a long-term trainer (and probably have them sell tickets, make/accept other shows, and go to the bank as well on their account[s]).

How exactly do most people want you to go about Private Show Training? Is the horse kept on their account or the trainer's account? 

Animals are kept on players account. Generally player gives you login and ideally creates a new temporary password for you to be able to have access to the account

The second is:

What is a fair going rate for this particular service? Since there is a bit more work involved than just enter all, is 400k per horse reasonable? 

This really depends on how many animals. You could possible charge half (most are 450/500k) of what someone is paying for a spot (about 100/250k) per show/per animal. 

So say I have 2 horses I need requested in 80 shows, you could probably charge about 20-40m or so per week.

you would also need to find out if you are required to also enter the show once it has been accepted. This obviously would be a second fee (or a higher lump sum) since this requires much more work on your part remembering when to go and enter if all shows aren't accepted at once, 

i personally use link clump (google chrome extension) and it opens new tabs when used. So it takes me all of maybe 5-10mins max to request shows. So this could be easy money. 

The third is:

Is Private show training expected to be a long term arrangement, or is it usually week by week? 

This is something you have to work out between a player. 

Someone could just be having a super busy week and might only need you to request.

or someone might be going on vacation or loose internet access and may need you for a few weeks. 

Hope this helps 

Thanks fathoms and Maharet! I really appreciate your input! :)
