EP 11: Financing Your Horse Business

When It’s Time to Take the Leap

Whether you own your own farm or have dreams about it, this is an episode you want to listen to. Making money in the horse industry is tough. The good news, is that there is help you may not know exists. This week, Buck joins Helena to talk about loan programs available to equestrian businesses. Buck is an Economic Development specialist who works with entrepreneurs (yes, Ms. Horse Trainer… that’s you!) to help them get the financial and business support they need to start or grow their businesses. From farm purchases and arena construction, to tractors and new footing, these things are closer to reality than you think. Listen in!

EP 10: Trailer Shopping with Equi-Trek

I have a nice little Kingston bumper pull. I don’t need a new trailer, but whenever I’m at a big horse expo, I find myself inexplicably drawn to the trailer area like a moth to a flame. Last fall, in Massachusetts, I discovered a new line of all-in-one horse trailers from Equi-Trek called the Vision. The urge to hop in and drive away with it was overwhelming! Since I couldn’t do that, I invited Lynn Roberge from L and D trailers to come on the show this week and tell us all about these super cool load-and-go miracles of the horse world. Join me as we will learn together what these thoughtful trailers have to offer horse owners both in the US and abroad. Plus, what do the experts say about whether or not horses prefer rear-facing travel. Listen in!

EP 9: The Perfect Boarding Barn – Or Not

Many of us have had to board our horses at one point or another. I bet many of you, like me, have had good experiences and bad experiences. If we’re lucky we learn from both, so that ultimately, we have more good experiences than bad ones. In truth, there is no perfect boarding barn – just like there are no perfect boarders. But you know, things don’t have to be perfect to be ideal. 

In this episode, we explore the concept (or is it fantasy?) of the perfect boarding barn with Terry Golson of the Cooperative Horse. Terry is a lifelong horsewoman who combines classic horsemanship with a reward-focused methodology to create enthusiastic and conflict-free partnerships between horses and riders. She joins me today to talk about how we can find (and create) the ideal boarding situation for our horses and ourselves. Listen in!

Microchipping Horses

EP 8: Microchipping Horses is Easy

Responsible Horse Care

Best practices in stable management often start with responsible horse ownership. One of the easiest and most effective ways to make sure our horses don’t end up on a slaughter truck, or lost in catastrophic situations, is to microchip them.

In this episode, Helena and Buck are joined by microchipping expert, Cailin Monahan, from the Datamars corporation. Find out how microchips work, why they are important, and how to get one for your horse. Listen in!

Scratch N All

EP 7: Scratch N All for Itchy Animals

Neat Product Episode! 

I’m joined by Horse Husband extraordinaire, Buck Harris, today, as we talk the business of horses. More specifically, horse products. Buck accompanied me to the Equine Affaire expo in New England last fall, where we met many equine entrepreneurs as we searched for innovative products and services to feature on our podcast.

One of our favorites was the Scratch N All, a self-scratcher product made by Cynthia Garry’s company, Animent. We chat with Cynthia today to find out what it’s like to be an entrepreneur in the equine industry, and how a product like Scratch N All goes from a lightbulb moment on the farm, to a viable product in the equestrian marketplace.
