SUCCESS OFTEN RIDES IN THE STIRRUPS OF BEING DIFFERENT

Why Work with SP RHODES?

We stand at the intersection of equestrian knowledge, creative insight and mentorship. Our advisory team, enriched by hands-on experience, propels us to serve as a unique and dynamic consulting collective. Together, we aim to ignite transformative change in equestrian business.

Equine Business Strategy

We help develop robust business plans and strategies, advise on market entry, diversification, and provide guidance on equestrian business growth and sustainability.

Marketing & Branding

We offer innovative marketing and branding tailored specifically to the equestrian market. From creating a compelling brand identity to executing effective marketing campaigns, we help you connect with your audience and stand out in the competitive equestrian landscape.

Disruptive Scope

The equestrian industry brings $50 billion in direct economic impact to the U.S. economy. Unless your product or service is novel, useful and differentiated, the chances of scaling to a place where you can exit and retire is difficult. The size of our industry has no bearing on potential earnings. The one thing that does have bearing is a focus on what makes you unique through easily identifiable differentiation.

Analysis & Strategy Development

We analyze your business, equestrian market trends, and competitors to develop a comprehensive strategy aligned with your objectives based on quantifiable metrics.

Implementation & Follow-up

We work alongside you to implement the strategy, ensuring that every step translates into tangible results. We also provide follow-up consulting to assess the impact and make necessary adjustments.

Empowerment

We uphold the principle that equipping you with essential success tools is vital. While it's difficult to part ways, our mission is to aid in refining your strategic direction, pinpointing areas of potential improvement, and crafting effective enhancement strategies. This empowerment fosters an environment meant to increase your chances of success.

Shopping Cart

All the products on this website can be customized with your logo. Some products (like grooming tools) are customized using engraving. Other products are customized using embroidery. In order to place an order for branded products, we need to have your logo on file. You can also order products without customization. 

Most products have a tiered pricing option with discounts that will be applied in your cart. All items are available as horse show awards.

If the products you are ordering are being engraved, there is no cost to add your file to our system; send your logo to equestrianlogos@sprhodes.com and enter your farm name when prompted after you select “YES” to customization on the product you are purchasing. The option to add your farm name will appear once you confirm you want customization. 

If you are ordering apparel, stable accessories or horse wear that requires embroidery, you will need to either send us your stitch file (.DST file – no additional charge) or pay for an embroidery package. Packages range from $125 to $425 depending on how many stitch file sizes you require. 

Once your logo is on file for embroidery, you are not required to pay for digitizing again and can have access to your files at any time.

All questions related to your logo and starting an account can be directed to equestrianlogos@sprhodes.com or you can open an online chat.
