Yes, I love how you don't sugarcoat anything; if it's something you want and if you're determined; you will find a way to make your dreams come true. I like the fact that you stated you didn't come from an affluent family but yet you and Kyle made your dreams come true; we love your channel/west side of Motown checking in!!!

FABULOUS.
I had a small training business for about 7-8 years, this was about 8 yrs ago. I got alittle burnt out, hubby had a sudden health issue, medical bills swamped us so I closed my business. We were renting an old, run down farm anyway, now we have our own place, wasnt set up for horses at all. We have 26 acres, built a nice 12x 24 shed row, a pasture, and I'm seriously considering going back into training. 9-5 job punching a clock isn't for me, and my passion is being wasted. I will be 50 this year, and have been so incredibly discouraged, but finding your video here gives me hope! I had alot of repeat clients, people still ask me to train their horses, I miss it so much! I need guidance as to how to go about finding the right agricultural or equine mortgage company to finance my start up, or my RE-START, lol....I have to have an indoor arena, we are in northern MN, weather is unpredictable. I had no such facilities at the old place, just a portable round pen. I gotta have proper facilities this time around, any tips/direction is greatly appreciated! ❤

Thank you for being so real about all the costs and time investments of starting an equestrian business! As someone who dreams of owning and running a lesson barn, this was so enlightening and helpful!

[KathyCoker]

I can tell you love your work. Your passion is one reason I enjoy watching your content.

[Rhonda.D.Wright]

What an amazing testimony you have and you are such a motivator. I can see that you are going to do very well at this. I wish I could have had someone like you to motivate and educate me when I was younger as I would have loved having my own equine business. I can’t wait to see you bloom in your business. 💜

I just stumbled across your videos 😇😍 I just love your positive vibes but still truthful. I am a woman almost 60 from Sweden. I started a daycare when I was 28 and my first child needed a place, took him with me ❤️ What you talk about here can be applied I think in almost any businesses.
You talk about passion 🥰 I think few people truely knows what that means. I loved my job, it was 24/7 but then it didnt matter.
I was raised on a ”cowfarm” so have that aspekt as well. I believe being able to feel passion and have that ”drive” is a gift 🎁🔮💖 Not sure but think I read some place in Michigan? 40 years ago I was an exchangestudent in Carson City ❤️ I wish you the best! 🥰

Would you please make a video going into more detail on running a successful trail riding and lesson barn, and what it takes to break even and then make a living? I don’t have a clear sense of how the expenses stack up against the income.

Boarding is a nightmare so many people stop paying or if the are partial care people dont show up to clean and feed

[medina]

I really LOVE your passion ❤️
I can Completely hear it.
It's VERY MOTIVATING.

THANK YOU SO MUCH

[summerking]

I always thought I couldn’t afford a farm but now you’ve really inspired me that if u work hard enough you can do anything so thank you :)
Is there anything to do as a teenager that could help in the long run?

[lynnesaro]

Thank you Shae, . Your videos are a huge inspiration to keep my love for horses alive. The segment on insurance especially interesting. I'm in central Florida and insurance has become unstable here for homeowners. Companies are dropping policies or forcing homeowners to replace roofs and other components just because they are a certain age. We had bad storms in central Florida in 2004, 2016 and 2017. Insurance companies took a beating. I'm in central Florida near the coast. Your segment on boarding is extremely interesting because I'm looking at a lifestyle change by buying a small farm; boarding facility and living on site. As it is us business owners work 7 days a week to grow and maintain our business and help is difficult to get since the pandemic. I have a rental house.

I had the opportunity to visit my local Tractor Supply store this week 😀😀😀😀. Wow, brought back memories. It's been some 40 years since I shopped for feed. What do you think about feed for different stages of a horses life especially senior horses? What do you think about alphalfa pellets? What kind of hay do you use?

Thank you so much for sharing your experince. I want to start my own business but I had no idea where to start. You have really helped give me the keys to sit down and begin planning what I want for my equine buisness. Keep it up and thank you for your inspiration.

[WillowsWonderTree]

thanks so much for the video! my dream is to run a horse training and lesson stable where i can train horses to sell but also teach people about these beautiful animals!
i’ve loved horses my whole life and from the second i could talk i was asking for one 😂
i may only be 13 but i’ve already got some big dreams that’s for sure! ❤

[SecretTarget]

This was extremely inspiring and helpful! Thank you!

[dorothyedge]

Excellent advice. I am so happy for your success. Your place is awesome! Do you have any "old" lady students? Lol If I wasn't in Florida, I would love to be a student! Take care 🐎🐎

[MarsCandyBars]

Thank you so much for this video! Me and my mom have dreams of having a giant barn on the coast of California where all the “higher end people” will come in ride at our stables! I have had a passion for horses since I was 9 years old and lately i have been so stressed out trying to find a way to make a good amount of money and live my dreams. You are such an inspiration for me and I love your videos. Thank you for this! ❤

[juliahamilton]

This is awesome and realistic advice. I appreciate you talking about the “not so fun” parts of having a business like taxes😂

[jenz]

I very much enjoyed this. It gives great insight on how to make moneynwhile being in the horse industry. Over my years, I have seen people get started and got their lesson program going on poaching other students from another instructor they ran their business at.

I have a vidoe idea-how to become a saddle fitter. I have been studying up on that, but can't find any information or classes on it.

[camillepepin]

It's not as much that I want an equine company, but I want horses and... The truth is... I can't afford everything horse related. My dream is the "city girl who loves horses" dream. Though I did experience part of the reality of horses by working with a family member on a ranch. Cleaning stalls, waking up early, get the horses out, bale deliveries, etc. I've experienced it and I loved it. Even pulling an inch of broken straw out of my arm (I swear straw could be a murder weapon).

Thanks Shae! Wonderful info and video! And congratulations! Take care of yourself🐴❤🎉
