If you love horses and are looking for a great way to earn money, you might be interested in opening up a horse boarding business.
If you come to Ocala for the first time, you’ll be impressed with its local color. Spectacular landscapes with hilly terrain perfectly combine with graceful horses all around. Just take a look around: all your neighbors have one or several horses (or even a horse farm). This is not a coincidence but a reason this city is known for. There are countless farms and training centers there.
The status of Ocala isn’t only spoken and local. This place has had a well-known status as the Horse Capital of the whole World since 2007.
Horses can be highly dangerous animals. Beginners often make mistakes when they are first introduced to horse riding. Both yours and the horse’s safety are important. Take extra precaution before your lesson by learning what mistakes not to make. Here are the top six mistakes made by new riders.
There is a lot to think about when you’re buying a commercial horse farm. That’s especially true when you are self-employed.
You’ll have to consider how your employment status affects your planning. This is true both in terms of what documentation you’ll have to provide a prospective lender, as well as how the land you select will affect you and your animals.
You’ll have to account for factors such as:
Having enough room for a barn or stable
Access to water
The amount of shade the property offers
Whether it’s large and flat enough for your animal(s).
Almost every parent goes through the “pony nagging” stage. It’s that stage where your child suddenly wants a pony for their next birthday and won’t stop crying until you either buy them one or let them ride one.

Horseback riding certainly brings a lot of surprising benefits on children’s development. This activity helps to keep them active while teaching them incredible social skills and life lessons at the same time. If your child has been itching to go horse riding, now’s the time to finally say yes and let them try out this fun activity.

Bookkeeping involves recording and keeping track of financial transactions such as revenue, taxes, operational expenses, payroll, and loans, and focuses on recording daily transactions of a business or a property.
