FINAL ASSIGNMENT:
Looking back on your answers to the assignment in lesson one, create an outline or business plan. List the potential income/expense of the business you envisioned or are currently creating. Be sure to include where the business takes place, your own property or public facility, any hired help, business owned horses, cost per horse ect.
Be honest here! If it turns out that the business is in a negative, present some ideas to turn the business into a positive cash flow. If you were not specific about the business you wanted then use the following scenario:
Training operation at a boarding stable 5 horses in training 2 lesson horses owned by business Lesson horses average 5-6 lessons each per week
Be sure to include healthcare costs, grooming supplies, supplements and any other cost involved, average these costs to determine the monthly cost. (Example: horses de-wormed 6 times per year at $10 cost per time = $60/yr divided by 12 months = $5/month) Finally list at least two areas concerning horses you would like to spend more time gaining knowledge.
