Just wondering if I could pick the brains of anyone who is in anyway involved with a riding school- either as a staff member or someone who rides at a riding school!
My boss and I are currently trying to brainstorm and perhaps think up some new services/lessons/events we could offer our clients (and perhaps attract new clients) so what I'm wondering is if anyone has any suggestions or thoughts on new things we could try?
Background about the yard- small riding school with only 2 members of staff and 9 horses in Scotland. We offer the usual lesson options and do "own your own pony days" etc in the school holidays. We teach mostly children and most of our adult riders either come to us as complete beginners or established riders who wants to "happy hack"/ride with their children. We hire our arena out too for visiting riders/instructors/PC to use.
In terms of offering something new we are thinking along the lines of events we could offer over holidays (e.g. perhaps picnic rides) or even alternatives in terms of lessons that people might be interested in. We have previously ran small gymkhanas and clear round jumping events for our riders.
Any thoughts or ideas much appreciated!
