Open Equine Ireland, is thrilled to announce the launch of its first-of-a-kind online platform for business owners in the equestrian industry. This innovative platform promises to transform the industry by offering unparalleled access to cooperative purchasing, community networking, and more.
Based in Ireland, Open Equine’s cutting-edge platform offers equestrian businesses the opportunity to centralise their operations, enhance efficiency, and magnify the industry’s collective voice. Service providers ranging from feed and equipment suppliers to riding school owners, livery yards, breeders, and equestrian event organisers can benefit from this comprehensive platform, designed to meet a diverse set of needs.
“The equestrian industry has traditionally been fragmented, with many service providers working in isolation,” said Brian Bloomer, Founder of Open Equine Ireland. “Our primary objective is to bridge these gaps and foster an environment of unity and collaborative growth.” He added “Working with horses means a busy life and there’s not much time or scope left available for equestrian businesses to spend on sourcing and procurement. Open Equine will act like a sourcing and procurement partner for all of our members and will ensure we provide quality products at prices that will not be beaten.”
A standout feature of the Open Equine platform is the cooperative purchasing function. This innovation allows businesses to combine their purchasing power and avail of discounts typically exclusive to large-scale buyers. This collective approach to purchasing can result in significant savings on essential supplies and services, thereby enhancing the profitability for all participating businesses.
Furthermore, Open Equine Ireland will over time develop a dynamic online community where service providers can exchange knowledge, experiences, and ideas. This space is anticipated to encourage stronger connections and cooperation among industry professionals, fostering a more unified and resilient equestrian industry.
