Home Business – Start a Home Business Repairing Horse Blankets (Horse People Love This) – Sewing Machines Los Angeles

Do you love horses? Have you been trying to find a way to make money in the horse business?  Horse blanket repair is a highly sought after service that many horse people will actually send their horse blankets by UPS to have them repaired.

If you have a boarding stable or are a stable mom that would like to find a way to support your daughter’s horse bills, or even your own horse bills, this is something you should look into.

It’s not tricky getting started in the blanket repair business. It can be done in the comfort of your own home and doesn’t require a lot of space.  A bedroom would be sufficient for a sewing machine and a work table.  

After the initial cost of fabric, hardware and equipment, the only other cost is time.  Your initial investment is quickly paid for because your clients will be so thrilled with your services, that your income the first month or two will more than pay for your initial start up costs.

Karen Krueger is a stay at home mom that successfully started her own horse blanket repair business in Colorado. She was so successful that she was making $3500 a month after three months of building her business.

Krueger wanted to share her success with other horse lovers and stay at home moms so she wrote a step by step manual that outlines what you would need to get started.  She didn’t have a manual to follow, so she used the best practices that she learned through trial and error.

What you would need to start a horse blanket repair business:

1. A heavy duty walking foot sewing machine that can be purchased used either locally or online.  Beware of shipping costs, because you will also need a table with the motor mounted underneath.

2. You will need an assortment of fabrics of typical horse blanket colors, navy, burgundy, black and hunter green.  An assortment of matching nylon heavy weight threads, buckle hardware and polyester webbing.

3. It is also recommended that you have a place to hang dry the blankets to maintain their size and color.
