Meghan Hamilton runs a lovely, quality dressage training facility in southern New England. Like all horse owners, managing the manure pile is something she calculates into the cost of doing business. Unlike others, however, Meghan’s manure pile isn’t in her debit column. Nope. Meghan has actually turned her horses’ manure into a profit center using a pretty straightforward composting system. And the best part is that she funded a good chunk of it with funds from her state’s agricultural division.  Listen in and learn!

You’re busy mucking stalls, working horses, and teaching lessons. How on earth do you have time to market your business? WHY do you even need to market your business?

Marketing isn’t just about getting your name out there. It’s about proper turnout.

Yes, you read that right. It’s about turnout. How you present your business – in person, over the phone, at shows, and on the Web – can mean the difference between a blue ribbon and a red one.

When horse enthusiasts are looking for a place to board and train, or perhaps they’re in need of an equine healthcare practitioner, you need to spend a little time polishing up your brand so kinds of customers you want are the kinds of customers who call you.

April Hardeman of Make It Rein, joins Helena in this episode to talk about ways in which you can boost your marketing so you can boost your bottom line. Listen in!

EP 31: What’s New at Our Place

When you have a small horse property, a job, kids, and relationships, it is critical that your day to day work flow of horse care is smooth and efficient. Not everyone can build the ideal barn in size, layout, or amenities. In that case, some creativity and a modest budget can make it all work nicely. Buck joins me today to talk about what’s happening at our place these days, how we are managing Siouxsie’s digestive issues, and the thought process behind adding a new shed to our property. Listen in!

This episode is brought to you by our friends at LUCAS EQUINE EQUIPMENT, makers of fine stall systems and accessories.
