Most horse boarding business owners check out their human clients before allowing them to move in. But what about your equine customers?
Horses can cause as much damage to an equine facility as their owners—if not more. Protect your horse business by evaluating all potential boarders before you offer up a stall.
Today’s Farm Freebie: Horse Boarding Equine Evaluation template.
This simple document should be filled out when a potential customer gets serious about boarding at your facility. It includes much of the information you need to know to determine if that horse will be a good fit for your stable.
You can have your potential customers fill it out themselves, or you can conduct a Q&A session while you fill it out. Whatever the case, make sure the potential client knows you need truthful answers.
The template collects basic information, such as age, gender, colors and markings. Then there is a list of criteria on which the client should rate his horse between 0 and 10, with 0 being no problem at all, and 10 being a serious problem. This section includes such behaviors as kicking, biting, cribbing and dietary issues.
