Things are Happening in the Equine Industry

Horse Business Climate 2009

I am excited to see 2009 shaping up as being a bit Stronger for the Equine Industry. Fuel prices seem to be staying a bit lower, Gulf Oil CEO Joe Petrowski


It will be nice to see larger Turnouts at the National and Local Horse Shows.

Those of us involved in the Horse Facility Design and Construction Business are anticipating more orders than 2008. Clients with good credit and Banking relationships will taking advantage of Attractive Interest rates.

With all of the wonderful NEW marketing techniques from the Internet, I Believe the Experienced and New Horseman is a better educated. Training DVD's readily available,
Teleseminars
and blogs are at the Equestrian's beck and call, many of Training information is available at much lower cost than actual attendance.

Every Horseman is always conscious of Feed Costs and in 2008 we saw Record prices. It put pressure on many Horse owners and helped fuel the Abandoned Horse Problem around the Country. Prediction are we may see some easing of prices in late spring 2009 according to Report in CattleNetwork.com and that will be beneficial to Equine Industry as a whole.

Because of rising Feed costs many horse owners are constantly looking for cost saving Feeding systems. I am really Impressed with the Stable Grazer Automatic Feeder. Find out more HERE.

Don't mistake poor quality feed as an alternative the VET bills could far overshadow the added Feed costs.

Since we are fortunate to Control our Income through Self Employment, and the overall market for our products is strong, we are looking forward to an enjoyable Horse activity season. If anyone would like to learn more on how to add additional Income, Save on Income Taxes and feel financially more comfortable with you Horse Activities, drop me a note

  1. Chuck,

    It is a buyers market in all aspects of business. And the equine industry has to adjust to the economy as well.

    You are right those that have made sound judgements are going to get great deals on barns,bulk feed and other large ticket items.

    I just hope the industry holds strong until we turn back up the hill.

    Great information as usual.
