Just looking for a touch of advice on getting the word out for horse training?
I've been riding horses for about 8 yesrs now, training on my own. Giving lessons, giving trail rides, training horses and retraining for free last year (and one woman who insisted on paying me last year). I had a lot of offers to have me train horses last year but they were boarding clients who have since moved away, and some were trail clients who I don't have the contact of.
But I am finally coming to terms with the fact that I hate my current job and I have been looking for the courage to put myself out there. I genuinely love and seek to understand horses and how to more accurately listen to and communicate with them. The problem is, I don't have a barn or my own horses anymore. I'd be driving out to people's barns to come train. I just don't know how to get the word out about it and how much I will actually need in terms of training aids. I usually base my work off of figuring out issues on the ground, and I start with an untacked horse at liberty and slowly work my way up to tack and aids if I need them.
I also don't know how to get the word out. Facebook? Craigslist? I'm not sure how to word an ad without. And I hardly have any references-- the last barn I did a LOT of free training (did problem solving with 13 horses) and lessons for just had a falling out with my old coworker and I took her side on the issue, and due to this I don't think I can use them as a reference anymore. I hardly have any videos of me riding or training since I worked on my own free time and mostly alone.
So, any advice for me? Anything you can tell me is much appreciated x
