A Call to All

La Fiaba began as a dream when I was just a little girl; what horse mad little girl doesn't dream of running her own horse riding centre? Fianlly now, after years of hard work, scrimping and saving, gaining experience and confidence in my abilities, here I am. Ready to take the plunge? Er, ask me later!

So far I think I have managed to accomplish a lot, considering I have had about a month to get the whole thing set up I have;

4 horses (although one of them is still in Ireland!)
A riding centre with 8 boxes and 200 hectacres
1 fenced in paddock (hey, it was the first fence I built, and it works!)
3 sets of tack
A rather groovy website
A cute logo
A place to live (nearly forgot about that one!)
A few advertisements

What's left to do?
Bring over 2 of my horses
Buy a car (really difficult when you have zero cash!)
Make some more paddocks
Move there! (even more difficult without said car OR cash)
Get some customers!!

And that's the thing right there isn't it? You could have the riding centre of the gods, with unicorns to ride and an arena made of gold dust but unless you get people in riding there isn't much point is there? I think I have a good business model, nice horses in the most beautiful place I have ever seen, I am a good teacher, my partner an amazing chef, the accommodation incredible, the pool just wow, more facilities than you could shake twenty sticks at, but after two weeks online not a single enquiry. And that really makes me sad. And incredibly nervous.

So if you are reading this and you feel like making your opinion known you could do a very nervous lady a huge service by checking out her horse riding centre in Tuscany (ok, you can do it online, unless you happen to be in the area of course!) and leaving some comments below. Grazie!
