Today, I'm a horse trainer and I started working with a lady's horse. After two hours of hard work and sweat, me and the horse in question are tired and I tell her I'll be back tomorrow. I get to the part where she's supposed to pay me and she says, "Oh! I thought this was free!?" FML

OP here! This was the first time I was handling a client on my own. I've been an apprentice for several years and I was recommended to this lady by a friend of mine. I guess their conversation about me somehow made it seem as if I would do the first lesson free. I did get the payment. Me and the horse are getting on just fine now and our lessons have been reduced to thirty minutes a day. He even greets me at the gate!

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.

That's when you don't come back the next day. And if she calls you, say: "Oh! I thought you only wanted me for one day!?"

Who thinks that someone is going around losing money training random peoples horses?

She's a user. Get your money. And make it known in equestrian circles how she operates.

Always reach an agreement, in writing, before performing the service.

These days, nothing's free, not even this comment. You owe me $5.

The word "trainer" not mean anything to her? Since she now knows then you have tomorrow to get full payment just raise your rate for tomorrow to get both covered...

That's when you go "no, it's not." And then ask for the money she owes you. Plain and simple.

I like how it started with today,I'm a horse trainer which means on other days you're not.

OP likes to mix it up. Some days it's bank robbery, some days she's a doctor, other days she's Donald Trump. Variety is the spice of life.
