Manage episode 517940140 series 3585388
We dive into how Jessica Cardillo built a sustainable, beginner-focused lesson barn by teaching full horsemanship, empowering teen volunteers, and setting firm business boundaries that protect horses and people. Clear systems, patient school horses, and themed lesson plans keep riders progressing without breaking the barn.

• beginners learning grooming, tacking, safety, and etiquette
• lunge-line starts and criteria for joining groups
• teen volunteer pipeline with incentives and expectations
• sourcing quiet school horses across disciplines
• turnout scheduling and pasture rotation for soundness
• realistic limits on jumping and competition goals
• auto-billing, unmounted makeups, and 30-day notice
• monthly themes to streamline lesson planning
