I just got off an EXTREMELY HELPFUL 1h business consultation call with Helena Harris from S&S. She went over our rough sketch business model (purchased her Business Planning Package $165 -GOOD TOOL! – to use prior to the consultation call). Helena gave so much constructive and detailed feedback on property and zoning considerations to investigate and talked brass tacks on revenue streams and run rate estimates. Using her package spreadsheet she can show you what you would need to charge for various services to meet revenue goals. She offered strategies on which capital investments to pursue first in order to make the business work. Helena is smart, knowledgeable, energetic, realistic and very nice to work with. She is just as nifty on a business consultation Zoom meeting as she is on her amazing Stall & Stable podcast which I love! She gave me homework to do, and I am going to be scheduling a follow up consultation to get my own business plan tightened up to launch. Having done this consultation, I now know where I’m on target and where I need to tighten things up to make my business plan succeed! 5-stars!!!

Helena was absolutely instrumental in helping me realize my business dreams. I contacted her about my goals of purchasing a horse property for my equine business, and she gave me the step by step process to get there, all while cheering me on along the way. She was incredibly patient, clear about how to approach everything, and systematic in helping me make it happen.
I don’t doubt her abilities to advance any equine business as long as you’re willing to put in the work based on what she says!

Helena’s ability to present valuable insights for equestrian business managers and horse owners in an engaging, entertaining way is unparalleled. She takes the time to understand the goals of a particular business or project then strategize and implement steps to meet (or exceed) those goals. Her enthusiasm for sharing best business practices across the equestrian space is infectious and will help to inspire change for the better.

Helena is a wealth of knowledge about horses and business. Horses are our lives, and her life too, and we feel like she gets what we are trying to do. More importantly she cares.
Helena understands our competition goals as well as the balance we are trying to achieve in our lives now that we have children. Stall and Stable inspires us, and helped make our lives easier. Thanks Helena!
