As excited as Kitty about to be a bridesmaid
Evening,
I have 5 fatty ponies who are constantly on diets and although I have had few companies come out and weight them obviously it's not in their intrests to repeatedly come out and weight the same 5 ponies for no extra feed sales so have been considering getting my own mobile weighbridge to use.
Obviously most of the time weighbridge would be locked away gathering dust so wondered if offering a service to weigh people's ponies at their yards would be a good way to make some extra cash and help cover the costs of having it.
I don't know what sort if any insurance I would need? Also I've always walked my own horses onto weighbridges so would expect the owner/yard manager to do this bit would I need some sort of personal accident insurance too?
I would not be offering any feed advice (although I am qualified to do so as it's a minefield) literally just the weighing of horses.
I am director of a limited company so obviously all earnings would go through this and be decleared to tax man etc.
Anything glaring I am missing?!
