Roll farms
Spot Master
I dunno if you have any farm stores near you, but several times a year at TSC we have "Out Here with _____" days, one is horses, the others are just 'animals', but we're always verrry eager to find ANY one w/ animal knowledge to show up / help us get people to come there.
You can also ask if you can come and do a demo on really busy weekends in their parking lot. Advertise it in free papers / free radio ads if there are any in your area.
I know a lot of farmers get their info from 'freebie' places, we're a cheap lot.
We have a cashier who works at a horse barn...customers come in and Judy will say hello, and ask how (horse by name) is and the people look surprised / ask how she knows their horse. She says, "Well I see you with it at the barn 3x a week, I work there." and the Snooties of the lot sort of go, "OOooooh." and you can tell they've found her 'lacking'.
I have a vet here who'd LOVE to find an equine massage therapist to refer people to. Maybe make an appt. to talk to some good equine vets / get them on board w/ your practice and ask for referrals.
Good luck.
