Barn Management Radio with Sheri Grunska

In this podcast Sheri talks about the emotions and stages that women experience as they grow as businesswomen with their boarding stables, training programs and other equine businesses and trying to do it all.  

Boarding horses outside or what is known as "Rough Board" can come with challenges.  Sheri talks about some of those challenges and things to think about when setting up this part of your boarding business to make your job much easier. 

Good herd management is not something that happens accidentally. It takes thoughtful work and it will affect your horse business either in a positive way or negative. Get this part right and it will make your job so much easier!

Sheri talks about how to set up your business with horse trainers as a part of your boarding stable and how to do it right the first time.  

Boarding horses for a living is not simple anymore! Sheri talks about many of the requests you will receive and how to determine if those requests will become a service you want to include in your board rate or if you want to charge extra for the service. And sometimes you just need to say NO to a request and what that may look like for your business.

Deciding what to set your board rates at can be confusing and even frustrating especially if you are losing money each month.  Sheri talks about some of the most important things to consider when setting board rates and also the often overlooked costs associated with boarding horses for a living.
