Horse Business Consulting

You’ve worked hard to get your horse business off the ground and you’ve likely made a sizeable investment. Unfortunately, just because you build a barn doesn’t mean customers will flock to it.

I strongly believe that every horse business has a healthy shot at success. By tweaking seemingly minor aspects of the way you run your business, I can help you increase your profits, impress your clients and bring in more customers.

The best part of horse business consulting is that you control our sessions. You decide what questions to ask, what issues to discuss and what concerns to air. There are no limits (as long as it has to do with the horse business), and you control how your time is spent.

My name is Laura Jane Thompson, and I have worked with horse business owners all over the United States. My primary areas of specialty are:

• PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT. I will design a custom riding lesson, horse training, summer camp or other equine program for your particular business model. This includes helping you select trainers or instructors, producing schedules, organizing training or instruction methods, and answering all of your questions.

• STABLE MANAGEMENT. From organizing your stable to establishing feeding and turn-out procedures, stable management is an integral part of running a successful horse business. I will help you devise an efficient stable management program that will save you money and free up time for you to focus on other aspects of your business.

• CLIENT RETENTION. Are clients slipping through your fingers? Do you have trouble acquiring and keeping satisfied clients? In horse business consulting, I will show you how to build better relationships with your customers and create policies that increase retention.

• EQUINE ACQUISITION. Whether you are looking for lesson horses for your lesson program or a top-notch show horse for competition, Riding Instructor University removes the stress from horse hunting. I will seek out prospects, evaluate descriptions and videos, and even go with you to look at candidates.

• EQUINE SAFETY. Have you incurred an uncomfortable number of accidents at your barn? Are you concerned about your safety protocol? Horse business consulting can include a full safety evaluation of your facility and suggestions for improvements.

You can take advantage of all forms of horse business consulting or select the areas in which you require the most assistance. It is entirely up to you.

Horse business consulting can take place over the phone or in person, depending on your individual needs. Contact me today to set up a free initial consultation so we can discuss your horse business and how, specifically, I might be able to help you.

Telephone horse business consulting is conducted in one-hour increments. There is no minimum commitment to sign up for this service, and I guarantee you will be able to improve your horse business as the result of one session. If you aren’t satisfied, you get your money back.
