💩 Why it's ugly

Horse blankets are muddy, hairy, heavy, and proudly aromatic. The customer loves the horse, not the laundry experience.

💰 Why it prints money

Equestrian customers already spend heavily on care, boarding, tack, and seasonal maintenance. Blankets need cleaning, waterproofing, storage, and repairs every year, creating a predictable seasonal rush with low local competition.

🗺️ The launch playbook 🔒

First 30 days

Register the entity and get the basic insurance sorted before anything else. Call the three biggest local operators and ask what they refuse to do — that refusal list is your launch menu. Price the first ten jobs deliberately low to collect reviews, then raise rates fifteen percent.

Days 31–60

Buy the used equipment, not the new one. The route density is what makes this profitable, so cluster your first customers within a twenty minute radius and decline anything outside it.

This is the part that makes money.
