I didn't know horses could read.
Yet another niche market that you could do well with. I use to sell gift merchandise at horse expos, and met some of the nicest people. I also found that many horse owners tend to be self-employed, at least the ones with the $25,000 plus horses.
I helped a friend of mine re-locate to Ocala Florida once, and had the pleasure of driving two of their racing horses in my trailer. One was worth $200,000, and the other was $300,000. Talk about being nervous behind the wheel. They bought into this 60 acre operation with a common track and boarding facility in the middle, shared by three other owners. Each owner had 5 acres to build on. The horses lived a better life than I did.
