Equestrian Management LLC: equestrian facilities & equine consulting

Every equestrian facility has specific goals.
Equestrian Management's experience and
expertise provide our clients the resources
and opportunity to achieve them.

Equestrian Management, LLC is the management and operations affiliate of Equestrian Services, LLC. It offers clients the many specialized business functions necessary to successfully manage and operate equestrian facilities nationwide and around the world, just as a golf management firm would handle all the operations of a golf course.

The dangers of an ill-managed equestrian operation are far reaching: wasteful financial operations, staff turn-over, lack of professionalism, negligence and inadequate horse care are some of the issues that can lead to safety problems and liability exposure. Operating in select teams, Equestrian Management provides clients with the expertise needed to professionally manage their equestrian amenities and facilities. We recommend and help select managers and instructors that are knowledgeable professionals that have been certified through our rigorous in-house training process and are required to be certified as an instructor or barn manager through the Certified Horsemanship Association (CHA) or the American Riding Instructors Association (ARIA).

Providing management consulting services to public, municipal, semi-private and private facilities - including resorts, residential developments and private clubs - Equestrian Management evaluates each situation independently, offering clients a service menu that is unmatched in the industry.
