I created a product that I absolutely love. I have lived in its creation for nearly two years. It started with a simple idea and grew into a tool that can enhance the lives of horse enthusiasts everywhere.

I want to share my passion with you. So in the next several blog postings, I will demonstrate what this LaRaedo product is all about. Because I was thinking that it is all fine and dandy to have a web site that spouts the various features of a product but many might say ‘How the heck will it help me?’.

We all talk about how little time there is to bring anything else into our lives. But I am a firm believer that anyone can bring anything into their lives if they see value. I raised three kids, worked full time for 30 thirty years, got my college degree at night and still managed to get in an aerobic work out. If you see the value, you will do the work.

We are talking about your business, your life’s blood, your world. I know that it is easy to just do the same old, same old. Even when we know that making changes, although uncomfortable can be good. Just think, not too long ago, many folks didn’t even know how to e-mail someone. Now it is pretty common place.

I realize that some will say “I have such a small farm, it is just not necessary because we all know each other and there is no need to keep track of everything”. I boarded on a small farm and although I did speak with the owner often; once a month I would receive an invoice with one large dollar figure on it. No itemization or description. I guess I was to assume that any and all extras were included in the monthly bill.

And then there are the larger farms that just don’t have the time to be bothered keeping track of one more thing to do. I also boarded on a large farm and found that it was extremely difficult to find anyone that knew what was going on. It was hectic and unorganized which left me feeling frustrated and not sure where to go for help.

I’m not saying that this horse farm management product is going to make everything better for everyone but it will definitely improve the way you do business now.

With all that in mind, I’d like to begin by talking about the first step to gaining access to this simple horse management program. When I say first step, I mean exactly that….

REGISTRATION – There’s just a few items that I’ve placed in captions that help explain things so that you have a great experience using LaRaedo right from the beginning.

The next post will speak about the log in process and setting up your account settings.

Thanks and if you have any questions, please share them as comments below. I will be sure to provide the answers.

I have created a horse farm software that I want to share with the world. When I tell people about it, I feel inspired. My whole being wants to shout out loud ‘Here is what you have been looking for; look over here’! So I am using today’s post to simply tell you about how my dream can help you move your business into new revenue building territory and offer it to you for FREE. Interested? then read on ….

It’s all about mind set. Many of us have heard this phrase repeated again and again in recent months. But what does that really mean? To me, it feels like a change of thinking, of opening up to new ideas.

There is so much talk about social media and how facebook and twitter and linkedin can help us build relationships and, for those of us in the business world, help us grow our business.

LaRaedo horse farm management software is very similar to those social medias but rather than building relationships with an entire ocean of people, it is about building relationships with the pond or lake in your own backyard.

LaRaedo is a web-based software. What that means is that the software resides on a secure server. The farm owner logs in, creates accounts for their horse boarding customers and staff. Then with the help of the farm’s staff, trainers or barn managers, keeps the horse boarding customers informed on the health and maintenance of their horse.

What better way to build relationships than to keep your own boarding customers happy and feeling like they are important. And, of course, they are! You need them and they need to feel your appreciation.

Remember that this software is an investment to the future of your farm business. Just as with social media, it takes time to get the word out that you offer something unique and satisfying at your farm. Something not offered at most barns.

You are the new age boarding farm that uses technology to build a better, more improved relationship with your boarders. As they say in social media, after a period of time, building a trusting relationship becomes viral and suddenly you have horse boarders waiting in line to board at your farm.

Why, because you care about them and want them to know it. You took that extra fifteen or twenty minutes each day to keep them informed about their horse, lessons or training.

You provided them with a means to connect with you; the opportunity to send you message alerts. Each day you quickly review your boarders messages and respond. You may not have an immediate resolution to their request but you listened and responded.

Imagine the fun for you and your team to keep your boarders informed about training or lessons by extending them links to YouTube so that they can see a short video of training or one that you took of them from a recent horse show.

At the end of each month, your horse boarders receive notification that their invoice is ready for viewing. They log in to their account and review not just a simple dollar amount bill but a full, line-by-line itemized bill that provides a date when these items occurred and a description of each item.

There is no confusion as to what and when because they were able to view each expense during the month every time they logged into their account. It’s all in there, when it happened, who it was assigned to and when the task or event was completed.

You can send them a notice when the bill has been paid or if it becomes over-due. They can view and print and have a history of what they have been paying you each month for the care and feeding of their precious investment.

Now here is my offer to you. For the next FOUR DAYS, from March 22 through MARCH 25, I will offer this software to any farm owner that wants to use it for as long as they want to use it FOR FREE.

I want you to see first hand how this product will bring revenue to your farm! I believe in it and know that you will too once you take the time to start now and move toward building more revenue for your business. This is the year for YOU and your FARM.

All you need to do is sign up for the newsletter on the upper right side of this blog and I will contact you with the details. We will walk through the process together so that you completely understand how to use it. Should only take an hour at best. This is truly a simple program, it just takes initiative on your part to change your MIND SET today!

So what are you waiting for? Let’s get started TODAY!

I enjoy reading horse related blogs. I find it fun, fascinating and I just learn so many new things about the care and feeding of these grand animals.

I ran across one great horse blogger a few months ago that I want to share with you.   Her name is Ronaye Ireland and her knowledge about horses and the business of horses was immediately apparent as I began reading her work.

I particularly enjoyed a post called “What makes a good home for your horse … and what kind of care do you want him to have?” She vividly describes what to look for when you want the best boarding facility for your horse.

Ronaye uses the perspective of what a horse would want if they were to choose their place to live.  Who would they want to spend their days with and what would be most beneficial to them.  Rather than coming from the viewpoint of the handler or boarder, she helps us visualize through the eyes of the horse.

When you get down to it, the farm will be the horse’s home 24/7 so you might as well find a comfortable and accommodating atmosphere.  Which means plenty of fresh air, friends and activity.

Ronaye also keys in on what to look for in the person who will be handling your horse on a daily basis.  You need to feel confident that this person has the same horsemanship philosophy that you do.

Another area of focus when choosing a home for your horse is to be observant of your horse’s needs.  For instance, if you have a very large horse, make sure that your horse will have a stall that is larger than most standard size stalls.

Does your horse like being outside in the pasture most days or is your horse happier with part stall and part pasture time?

This article is actually one of the chapters out of her book “The Horse Owner’s Survival Guide to Horse Boarding” which is currently available as an eBook but she hoping to have the book published in print and available on Amazon before the summer.

Ronaye explains this much better than I, so I will leave you with a link to her post and website at horseboardingsecrets.com

What things have you looked for when you selected a boarding facility for your horse?
