Barn Business Planner

Running a barn is running a business, and the barns that last are the ones that know it on paper. The Barn Business Planner brings your boarders, your horses, your lesson program, your daily operations, and your numbers into one 51-page fillable and printable PDF, so the person doing evening feed and the person doing the books, usually the same person, are working from the same facts.

• The Business File holds the paperwork that protects you: a rates and services sheet, a boarding agreement checklist, liability acknowledgements, intake forms, a boarder directory, and a waitlist and vacancy tracker that keeps the next stall filled before the current one empties.
• The Horses and The Operation sections run the daily rhythm: care sheets, stall cards, a feed room chart, a whole-barn health and compliance board, chore checklists, staff scheduling with an onboarding and safety training record, maintenance logs, and inventories down to the hay load.
• The Lesson Program tracks schedules, packages, and a school horse workload board that protects the string.
• The Numbers does what most barn binders never do. The Per-Stall Break-Even Worksheet walks from fixed costs to contribution margin to the exact number of occupied stalls the operation needs before a month stops losing money, one worksheet per board type. Around it: monthly income and expense trackers, a receivables page, event budgets with a cancellation decision built in, an annual financial summary with a reserve column, and a budget and cash-flow forecast that looks at next year instead of last year.
• The Year closes the binder with an annual calendar, a vendor directory, emergency protocols, an incident and accident report, and an insurance tracker.

Simple. Intentional. Enjoy the Ride.

This planner is an organizational and educational resource. It is not legal, tax, accounting, veterinary, or insurance advice. Have your attorney review any agreement language, your accountant confirm tax and record-keeping practices, and your veterinarian guide health protocols specific to your operation.
