I run a non profit equine therapy program. We have 8 horses and have transitioned from a full boarding situation to taking care of them on our own and just renting the 8 acres and facilities we occupy. I have a full time equine specialist on staff. I know relatively little about their management. I've watched the owner of the 120 acre horse property we are on go downhill with an incompetent owner to the point he's lost all boarding clientele with the exception of one newer trainer and her clients. It's been a series of bad decisions, drama he couldn't deal with, etc. Don't underestimate the on going capital maintenance and re investment. Not knowing anything about horses puts you way behind. It isn't just a manager you'll need. You'll also need staff to feed, clean stalls, etc. The drama part is very real. Horse people are crazy :-)
