Great idea. Forget people for a minute. Forget pets. I have an idea that I think could bring in millions to this company and that I know no one has thought of. A personal health record for race horses. I owned and trained harness horses for 18 years. In that time I had to have trained 300 horses or more, and that was just a small to medium stable of maybe 5-10 horses at a time. There are trainers out there that have 50-200 horses. Now if its one thing that we did when it came to our horses, that was we spent a TON of money every month on vet bills. I would say the average vet bill per horse every month was around $750, and that was 10 years ago and in a state where the purses we raced for were smaller. There are places now where the average vet bill is about $3000 a month per horse. There are 100's of thousands of race horses in the USA alone. The money we spent was for xrays, shots, cortisone and acid injections into joints, vitamins, supplements, surgeries, things to help them breath better, race faster, vaccinations, laser therapy, shock therapy on the legs, the list is endless.
What I am trying to say is owners of race horses think nothing of spending $2000-$7000 a month per horse to have trained by the time you add in vets, training, shoeing, feed, shipping, everything. They spend money like crazy. So to spend $15 a month to have every one of your horses xrays, vaccinations, shots, surgeries, procedures, uploaded and stored for a trainer and owner to instantly access is NOTHING to these people, especially when they race for $25,000 and up to millions every week. And I know how trainers and owners are. We treat the horses like our kids. We want them to have the best of everything and we want to know everything about them ALL THE TIME. It's like a sickness....horse racing. It never gets out of your blood once its in it.
Not only that but a trainer could store all of his training schedules, his shoeing schedules, his race schedules, for each horse online for easy access. This isnt something like a PHR for people where someone is hesitant to spend money on themselves. People like I said LOVE to spend money on their horses. Heck this could even be for show horses as well.
Lets say you get just 2000 trainers to sign up for this. Lets say each trainer has 20 horses in his stable each year. That is 40,000 horses having a PHR. Lets say for this service you charge $150 a year. That is $6,000,000 a year in revenue and it would cost next to nothing to set up. And that is just for 40,000 horses. There are tons of foals (babies) retired horses, show horses, jumping horses, equestrian or even horse pets etc that don't race but have the same amount of care given to them. I think this could be something that is not going to bring in $100's of millions, but could bring in $10's of millions in a niche market that like I said, the people would be dying to spend money on.
