Lessons on Building a Brick-and-Mortar Horse Business with Amy Bond

Is it possible to find team members who care about your brand as much as you? How do you manage inventory when trends come and go? Can you still thrive as a local business amidst the rise of big box stores?

We’re diving into all of that and more in this conversation with veteran business owner Amy Bond with The Painted Cowgirl in Greenwich, Ohio.

What started as a tack shop 17 years ago, Amy has built into a thriving Western apparel store with FOUR storefronts in one town. And people drive miles and miles just to come to their shop. Not to mention the engaged online community they’ve built as well.

How does she do it? Amy’s the first to say she didn’t do it all by herself. You’ll hear it all in this honest and authentic episode.

P.S. If you’re not a brick-and-mortar shop, there is still PLENTY you can learn from Amy’s entrepreneurial experience and wisdom.
