Jennifer Foster to Speak at Equine Affaire in Columbus, Ohio

“Making and Managing Your Money In The Horse Industry” to Focus on
Helping Equine Business Owners Make Money in Their Industry 

Indianapolis, Indiana: March 9, 2010 – Jennifer Foster, president of EQ Bookkeeping, will present a one hour seminar, “Making and Managing Your Money In The Horse Industry,” at the Equine Affaire in Columbus, Ohio, on Friday, April 9, 2010. The presentation will focus on how to help equine business owners better understand how to make money in their industry.

Topics and examples Foster will discuss include:

• The top four reasons horse businesses fail
• Completely understanding the costs associated with providing a product or service
• The importance of budgeting, record keeping and preparing accurate and timely financial statements

Foster presented the same seminar at the Women’s Horse Industry event last fall to very favorable responses. “Getting people to listen about financial things in a group setting isn't always easy. Especially, to a group that spends most of their time outside with their horses and not inside with their accounting. But Jennifer Foster not only made it interesting but fun,” said Catherine Masters, Executive Director of Women’s Horse Industry.   

“Her talk was so relaxed and easy that all of the attendees sat and listened and took notes. She took a lot of the mystery out of how people in the horse industry can become profitable. And, I know that many of them will realize that being in the horse industry can be profitable with the right financial management and planning.”

In addition, Foster will discuss "Building and Executing a Business Plan" at the event. Both seminars will be held on April 9. For more information about the Equine Affaire in Columbus, Ohio, visit their website, www.EquineAffaire.com. (opens in new window))
