Business Plan
Our family is new to the equine business and we have much ambition to grow our business with new boarders, lessons, horse camps, clinics, rodeos and English shows. Our facility is 15 minutes away from Kansas State University and have a point of contact to share our facility with the students coming to college and want to bring their beloved equine, It's rewarding to us to see the excitement of young children and adults being around the horses and the responsibilities they gain for having to care for the animal. Investing in Covered Cross Stables & Arena you will have the reassurance your investment will be valued and appreciated. We are a family operated business and know what hard work is. Caring for a horse teaches good work ethic and responsibilities to our younger generation. The horse business has a vast of opportunities to grow. Our main source of income is in boarding and we have great retention due to the understanding how much a beloved equine means to the boarder and it shows in the way we care for the animals. Horses are a therapeutic animal. Horses are known to lower your blood pressure and heart rate, alleviates stress and reduces symptoms of anxiety and depression. Horses also heal individuals on so many levels. They fill an individual with love, trust, and self confidence. They make you connect to your body and soul, while they open their hearts for you to connect to theirs. Having the indoor riding arena, along with 5 tack rooms, cross ties and wash bays gives the boarder great opportunities to spend quality time with their horse. Those amenities are what draws horse owners to choose our facility. The opportunities for other equine activities continue to grow with the large network we have in the horse industry, with the Kansas Horse Council, pony Club, Kansas High School Rodeo and countless other equine activities. We already offer barrel and pole riding lessons and the arena has been rented for weekend horse clinics, with other dates reserved for the future clinics. Investing in Covered Cross Stables & Arena, as investors you would provide us with the moral support to push forward, build on our progress and achieve our goals.
