EP 16: ProBarn Management

Barn Aisleway Messy

Our dreams and realities don’t always match up. While many of us would love to have a stable full of happy, healthy horses, and satisfied boarders, it rarely ever works out the way we imagine it should. That doesn’t mean, however, it can’t be awesome.

In this episode of the Stall and Stable show, Helena is joined by guest, Sheri Grunska, author and owner of ProBarn Management, a stable management consulting firm. Sheri and Helena discuss what kinds of things a boarding business owner needs to consider in order to get the reality a little bit closer to the dream. Listen in!

Are you managing or starting a boarding facility and need some planning advice? There’s plenty of it in the Stall and Stable Business Plan Guide. Whether you are planning a new business or have ideas for strengthening your existing farm, you don’t have to go it alone. A small investment in good advice can make a real difference in your farm’s long-term success!
