Hi there. DD is about to turn 15. She helping out last weekend at our local stables (where she has always ridden - as a paying client), working from 7am to 3pm. She had assumed she'd get a tenner or similar, but was told it was entirely voluntary. Just wondering if that is normal practice. Seems a bit of a cheek to have free child labour, but maybe it's all just supply and demand and there are enough horse-mad teenagers happy to do it. Keen to hear whether this is standard stuff or a bit of a chutzpah.
