Question 1 of 6 — 16% Complete

Section 1 — Business Stage

Which best describes your equestrian business?

Independent trainer, riding instructor, small boarding barn, lesson program, horse-care startup, tack seller, or owner-operated equestrian service
Growing riding school, boarding facility, training barn, clinic operator, show team, equestrian retail brand, or multi-staff horse-care operation
Regional equestrian center, breeding operation, show program, therapeutic riding organization, multi-discipline barn, or franchise-ready equestrian business
Enterprise equestrian organization, large boarding and training facility, multi-location horse business, equine event network, association, or institutional equine program

Section 2 — Workflow Documentation

How well are your lesson procedures, horse-care workflows, feeding instructions, medication records, vet and farrier schedules, boarding agreements, waiver process, biosecurity procedures, staff duties, and client follow-up rules documented?

Mostly informal and dependent on owner, trainer, barn manager, instructor, groom, or staff memory
Partially documented but scattered across files, whiteboards, notebooks, emails, spreadsheets, texts, vet records, and social media messages
Structured but still manual, hard to repeat, and difficult to train from
Centralized, governed, searchable, and consistently followed

Section 3 — Knowledge Loss

How much critical equestrian knowledge is spread across horse profiles, feed charts, vet records, farrier notes, training plans, lesson schedules, boarding agreements, waiver files, show calendars, client messages, and employee memory?

Major risk — too much depends on memory, whiteboards, scattered files, and informal barn communication
Moderate risk — key horse-care, lesson, boarding, staff, vet, farrier, client, and safety information exists but is hard to find
Low risk — most horse-care, training, lesson, boarding, client, and vendor information is organized
Minimal risk — equestrian knowledge is governed, searchable, reusable, and protected as a business asset

Section 4 — Monthly Revenue at Risk

Estimate the monthly value lost from missed lesson inquiries, boarding vacancies, slow training-program follow-up, clinic registration gaps, weak camp promotion, client churn, missed show opportunities, tack or merchandise follow-up, staff confusion, and poor client communication.
