This Instagrooms pricing guide offers suggested rates to help equine service providers across North America set competitive and fair prices. The rates in the Instagrooms Equestrian Services Pricing Guide are based on typical charges in the industry and can be used as a starting point, though we encourage you to adjust as needed for your location, experience, and client needs.
It might be a helpful guide for grooms from other countries as well – at least to realize what you have to take into account when setting your prices.

Covering Your Living Costs
To make sure your pricing is sustainable, it’s essential to calculate how much you need to cover your living expenses. Here’s a simple formula to find your baseline rate:
- Calculate Your “Comfort Life”: Add up all your monthly expenses plus a little cushion (rent/mortgage, food, bills, savings, etc.) to determine your ideal monthly income.
- Determine Your Daily Rate: Take your total monthly amount and divide it by the number of days you’re available to work each month. This gives you a minimum daily rate needed to cover your costs.
Setting rates that meet or exceed this baseline ensures your work is not only rewarding but also financially sustainable.
