What are the methods that you use to keep everyone informed on lessons, horse shows, or training progress?

I have noticed the many farms have a large white board at the main entrance with all upcoming information. Often the white board gets smudged and faded making it nearly impossible to read.

Or there is the monthly calendar where the squares never seem big enough for the various activities and erasing just makes things more eligible.

Ideally, the farm owner has a website that is updated on a regular basis and everyone simply knows to go to the website to get the latest information.

The bottom line is that all horse-boarding farms need a good method to keep everyone informed. It eliminates confusion, increases employee performance and builds horse boarder confidence.

There is nothing more frustrating for an employee than not knowing what tasks are to be completed each day.

When a horse farm owner clearly communicates their ideas so that the employee definitely knows what is asked of them, the employee will ultimately perform their job better.

Precise communication of farm tasks provides employees with a better understanding of what is expected. This in turn will create more effective performance and ultimately increase boarder loyalty and profit.

The reason why I write this blog on communication is because I have put together a method that will afford the farm owner another way to communicate with their employees so that there is no misunderstanding of responsibilities.

The LaRaedo software supplies a tool that clearly maps out daily tasks so that everyone knows what needs to done and what has been completed in any given day.

This work endeavor is funneled to the horse-boarding customer and they in turn will see the employee’s completed tasks for their horse. It ensures confidence and a feeling of comfort knowing that their horse is receiving such diligent care.

I know that there are many different methods to achieve similar results. Mine is just one method of finding ways to share a workload and have a singular location to keep employees and customers informed.

Website updates, white boards and horse calendars for the barn are some ways to do this.

What methods do you use on your horse farm to help everyone stay connected?
