Why you should take your equestrian business online

Hi guys, Sophie here. Today, I'm going to share a bit of heart and a whole lot of wisdom about why digitising your equestrian business is the way forward when working with Cavago.

Why?

Well, grab a cup of tea or coffee, settle in, and let me take you on a ride through my own experiences and the game-changer that is Cavago.

An equestrian from day one.

Okay, so picture this – I've been that horse-crazy girl since I could barely reach the saddle (yes that’s me riding for the first time ever)!

Every holiday meant desperately searching for places to ride or simply be around horses, especially when I was away from my own four-legged friends. And oh, the struggle of trying to find local riding schools as a young, horse-obsessed child attempting to convince her parents that a horse was a non-negotiable part of life? I get it, that was me…the struggle was real!

Horse businesses around the world all face the same issue.

They are way behind when it comes to operating in the digital era.

Riding facilities and organisations have never been and still aren’t accessible to their vast potential audiences through traditional, non-digitised methods.

Let’s face it, there are two types of people in this world, those who love horses, and those who just don’t know it yet!

But without the presence of these businesses and facilities online, how do customers find out about them?

Be discovered. 

Social media platforms and search engines are great and have served their purpose for the equestrian industry, but what about those who aren’t quite sure what to search for?

They need a platform where they can see every type of equestrian experience in one place, whether they want to...

• go riding at their local riding school
• explore the mountains on horseback on the opposite side of the globe (safe to say I smiled just as much riding in the mountains as I did the first time I ever sat on a horse!)
• attend an equestrian performance with friends
• take their own horse to a competition
• or learn horsemanship virtually from the comfort of their own home. 

Well, enter Cavago!

Now trust me, I get it.

Technology and horses are not two words which you commonly catch in the same sentence.

Us horse lovers tend to be the last to know about the latest phones or video games, but we do know when the latest colour is released of our favourite matchy-matchy sets (yes I am one of them!).

Stick with me though. As one of the rare people who sits in the middle of being a horsey nutter and a tech nerd, I am going to shed some light on how we, as Cavago, can bring the equestrian industry into the digital world through working with each and every business.
