Horse Boarding Real Estate Business Plan
Today, who in business doesn’t know and love the story of poor migrant gentleman Levi Strauss? But just in case, and since it holds a striking resemblance to the future story of EquineAcres, here’s a short recap.
Levi Strauss arrived in California during the great gold rush. He, along with tens-of-thousands of others, aimed to strike it rich and live a life of wealth. But Levi observed that for every 1 person who struck gold, 1,000 returned penniless. He also noticed a shortage of supplies, and that those supplying the gold seekers made their fortune without ever leaving the city. One commodity in short supply was canvas. Levi sent money to his relatives back East to buy canvas and have it shipped to him in San Francisco. Within days, he sold the canvas at a significant profit. He ordered more, sold more, and continued to grow his supply business. Levi never pursued gold; instead, he found his fortune in supplying the gold seekers. The rest, as they say, is history. Levi Strauss & Co. is now a member of the global Fortune 1000, with over 100 years of profitable business.
EquineAcres follows the same simple business concept. The equine industry is a multi-billion dollar industry in America, with Oklahoma ranked 4th in activity. The writer of this business plan has already experienced the typical form of equine business and found it lacking in financial reward. However, blessings can often be mixed, and that’s the case with this business proposal. The EquineAcres business plan is the result of experience in the equine business, which has identified the real opportunity. EquineAcres is not directly involved with the horse business but meets the needs and desires of those who are. Thank you, Mr. Strauss.
In short, EquineAcres will utilize the business knowledge and experience of a 20-year successful professional career. It will leverage existing business contacts, target market knowledge, and relationships to penetrate an underserved market in a highly lucrative industry. EquineAcres offers unique products and services in a format previously unavailable, creating a profitable and scalable business ideally suited for exponential growth.
The reviewer of this business plan is invited to review its content in detail. If the potential is recognized, please contact the originator for further discussions to establish a mutually profitable and rewarding business relationship.
EquineAcres is a resort community dedicated to horses and their owners. Our primary focus is exceptional care, 24-hour monitoring, health, safety, and security for the horses. For owners, our focus is on providing a community atmosphere, professional and reliable business operations, competitive pricing for equine products and services, and a full-service facility to meet all equestrian needs. Above all, customer service, professional staff, and the good of the community are our top priorities.
The success of EquineAcres relies on maintaining a 100% lease rate.
Our primary objectives for EquineAcres are:
– Percentage of leased lots: 80% minimum, 90% acceptable medium, 100% primary goal.
EquineAcres is a unique community environment that caters to the unfulfilled needs of equine owners. This concept, although not new in other markets, is new to the equine market in Oklahoma. While golf communities and tennis resorts are common, there hasn’t been a similar offering for equine owners, despite their affluence and passion.
Previously, equine owners had to rely on various sources to meet their needs. EquineAcres will provide a single, well-run facility that offers boarding, care, representation, serious practice, and playful enjoyment for both horse and owner. Additionally, our community atmosphere is designed to meet the emotional and social needs of owners.
In terms of start-up requirements, the total investment needed to open EquineAcres is $150,000. This includes land, equipment, inventory, improvements, and six months of operating capital for owner salary, loan payments, and monthly expenses. Our goal is to secure funding for the full amount.

Service Business Analysis

Distributing a Service
EquineAcres provides a single source for equine owners, offering convenience and competitive pricing.
Competition and Buying Patterns
Equine owners typically rely on multiple suppliers for their equine needs, but EquineAcres’ convenience and pricing will attract most customers.
Equine owners prioritize three factors when making purchases: price, convenience, and quality. The importance of each factor depends on the owner’s position as an owner.
– Pleasure owners may prioritize quality first, followed by price and convenience.
– Casual owners may prioritize convenience first, followed by quality and price.
– Business owners may prioritize price first, followed by convenience and quality.
EquineAcres has the ability to meet all three buying patterns:
Price:
EquineAcres can provide competitive prices through strategic business relationships, volume purchase capability, and effective sales and marketing.
Convenience:
EquineAcres offers maximum convenience by providing a single source for purchasing products and accessing services. They also offer a total care approach, relieving equine owners of daily responsibilities.
Quality:
EquineAcres has existing business relationships that provide high-quality products and services unmatched by any other source. They continuously update their offerings with newer, higher-quality products and services.
Equine Boarding:
Current boarding facilities in the area offer two types of boarding:
– Partial Board: Requires the owner to care for their equine at least once per day. Average cost: $75/month/equine.
– Full Board: Offers full care similar to EquineAcres. Average cost: $350/month/equine.
EquineAcres also offers products, services, facilities, and business services that are not available through a single source. They also provide a unique retreat community that does not exist in the local or national region.
The strategy and implementation of EquineAcres is simple: utilize the owner’s 20-year successful professional career, business contacts, target market knowledge, and relationships to penetrate an underserved market and create a profitable and expandable business.
The value proposition of EquineAcres is to provide a convenient single source that meets all the needs of equine owners at a competitive price in a unique community environment, backed by solid and innovative business operations. This is achievable and will lead to financial success.
EquineAcres has several competitive edges, including a unique format, convenience, quality, and price. Another major competitive advantage is the owner, Edward A. Graves, who brings valuable skills, experience, and contacts to the business.
The marketing strategy of EquineAcres leverages the co-located target market, their reliance on local vendors, their reliance on the Internet for information, and their preference for newspaper classified advertisements. The marketing approach aims to capture the market’s attention and retain and expand their business through exceptional practices and customer support.
EquineAcres’ pricing strategy is as follows:
– Retreat lease: $300/month including one equine.
– Additional equine on the same retreat: $50/month.
– Full Board at EquineAcres for three equine: $400/month.
– Comparable Full Board at competitors for three equine: $1,050/month.
– Other products and services will be priced slightly above average, with margins above 100%.
The promotion strategy of EquineAcres revolves around an active and effective website that will serve as the central point for all promotional and ongoing business activities. They will also distribute a 4-page brochure through equine-related businesses and use newspaper classified advertising.
EquineAcres will rely on direct selling for retreat leases and additional sales activity through their website. They will also leverage existing business relationships to gain exposure and maximize margins from resale products and services.
The marketing programs of EquineAcres will focus on driving traffic to the website through search engine submissions, distributing brochures, teaser cards, and classified advertising, as well as referrals from strategic partnerships.
The sales strategy of EquineAcres is to sell retreat leases to 100% capacity.
The sales forecast is based on experience, understanding seasonal sales cycles, customer requirements, and realistic growth. The forecast includes retreat leases, additional equine on existing retreats, equine consumables, tack, services, web pages, websites, added services, major equipment sales, and sale commissions.
By implementing these strategies, EquineAcres aims to achieve their goals of providing a convenient single source for equine owners, creating a profitable business, and expanding their capacity in the future.

Management Summary
Initially, EquineAcres will be wholly owned and operated by Edward A. Graves. The owner has maintained this level of effort and production for several years. With EquineAcres, all of the owner’s efforts will be focused on a single project. Current associates will testify to the owner’s organizational and prioritization skills that have allowed for this level of task assumption.
Following successful operation, the owner will hire a “manager trainee” to learn the EquineAcres operation with the potential of becoming the on-site manager. This on-site management concept will be used in future expansions of EquineAcres*2, *3, etc.
Business and personal contacts will be utilized as needed on a contract basis to assist with labor. As the Internet shopping aspect of EquineAcres increases, additional part-time staff will be added to handle shipping and handling tasks.
Organizational Structure
The legal form of the company will be determined in conjunction with the funding source. The structure will have a single business entity with two sub-entities operating under the umbrella company.
The Graves Company–Parent Company
1. EquineAcres–All business taking place “on-premise.”
2. Graves Farm eXchange–Equine business conducted “off-premise.”
This structure allows for potential business opportunities as they arise.

A note of critical importance to any potential lender or investor:
Upon securing funding for this project, EquineAcres will use almost 100% of the funding to purchase undeveloped land and develop it. The development will greatly improve the value of the land to the point where the entire loan/investment amount is recoverable, even potentially profitable, through resale of the improved land, buildings, and equipment. This funding request should be considered as "secured."
