Episode notes
Asset-Light Horse School Model
- The school rents local horses instead of owning a herd, which preserves margins and reduces veterinary overhead.
- That model also enables partial remote operation since horses do not live on-site permanently.
High-Ticket, Year-Round Curriculum
- The school offers courses from three to 36 weeks with tuition from ~$4,900 to $20,000, creating high per-student revenue.
- This pricing plus year-round operation drives strong cashflow despite non-recurring nature.
Real Estate Is A Big Part Of Value
- The deal includes 25 acres, multiple residences, a heated 5,000 sqft barn, and claimed $2.2M real estate value.
- Bundling real estate materially reduces business multiple and offers standalone asset value.
