Question: I was wondering what other ideas you had for making money on a horse farm?
Question: I have a boarding facility, 40 acres. What else can I do to earn more money?
Question: How can we make additional incomes on our horse boarding facility?
Answer from April Reeves: This was the most responses I received from any post – total of over 100 as of only a week or so since I put the post up. Since this seems to be the question of the ‘times’ we are in, I will wander into my memory banks and pull out some of the tricks I did with my horse facilities. While I made a good income with just horses alone, I enjoyed trying my hand at other things, and took advantage of all the tax breaks available to me.
I will post one at a time, so I don’t spend half a year writing a long winded post, which I have been known to do…..
Training Mules & Donkeys Looks at Athletic Conditioning
You’ve probably heard lots of discussion about whether or not to work your dressage horse “deep.” There are a variety of opinions on the matter. Some riders warm up and cool down their horses “long and low” to stretch and loosen the muscles. Others always school in a balance and frame appropriate to the level at which they are working; they never stretch their horses. Many trainers school in a deep frame only during the movements when the horse habitually comes above the bit. Still others do all of their work “extremely deep” with the horse’s nose almost on his chest; they bring him up only when they are getting ready to compete.
