The follow is a guideline and checklist to consider when you are setting your prices.
Human Sites:
Categories of possible human sites that guests can book are:
- Horse trailer sites, with or without hook ups,
- Housing provided by hosts, and
- Both options above at a Vacation Destination.
The least expensive sites are horse trailer sites without hook ups, although they are just as important as the other options. Some people will travel with a generator and do not need hook ups. The most expensive sites are housing provided by hosts at a vacation destination, since these sites offer more amenities and activities.
Ask yourself the following questions to help you determine the best price:
- Is the site a dirt lot or concrete pad?
- Does the site have shade or a beautiful view?
- Do you provide trash cans or a dumpster?
- Do you offer extras like a picnic table, fire pit or internet?
- If you provide housing, is it older or newer?
- Is the housing offered a furnished apartment or a yurt/tent?
- Do you provide all linens, towels etc.?
Horse Sites:
Categories of possible horse sites that guests can book are:
- Stall or pen,
- Stallion stall or oversized stall,
- Paddock or arena, and
- Pastures
Ask yourself the following questions to help you determine the best price:
- Is your stall a dirt pen with no shade or set up like a show barn?
- Does your barn offer fans, a/c or heat, wash racks, auto waterers etc?
- Do you have security cameras installed for high dollar horses?
- Do you provide stall shavings or does the guest bring their own?
- Do you provide a manure dump area or does the guest have to bag and haul it off?
- Do you clean up after the guest's horses or do they clean up?
- Are you close to horse activities like trails, parks, shows, rodeos, tracks, fox hunts, or other horse related events?
