Profitable Horseman

As you collect data from last year for income tax returns, the profitability of your boarding business comes to mind. Granted, a horse boarding business is not a high profit enterprise. It's a ton of work for a few pounds of profit.

However, a boarding business is important for feeding your lesson, training and sales business.

If you don't know how much your boarding business profit or loss is, now is an excellent time to figure it out. This excel based Boarding Profit Calculator is only $24.00 and does the math for you. Just fill in the blanks.

Most boarding business owners don't raise the rates often enough to keep up with sky rocketing hay, bedding, feed and labor costs.

A story from a client this week- He hired an employee to clean stalls and do general barn work. The employee boasted he was a hard worker and was put to work cleaning stalls. After 15 minutes of work he told other workers he was going to his car to get a jacket.
He never returned.
All employers experience this sooner or later.
