"So I heard you started a business.... but what exactly do you do?"

Firstly, thank you to everyone for an overwhelming and kind response to our business launch. We have been hard at work behind the scenes for a while and it’s been wonderful to finally get to talk about it with everyone!

The most common question we have received is, what exactly do you do? Or what services do you offer? (and you know what, Fair Question!)

The idea behind our business model was to alleviate the administrative and financial burdens of farmers and ranchers but we found we didn’t want to restrict our work to a list of services and we also wanted to help a variety of businesses in our local community, whether or not they were in the agricultural sector or not.

One of our favourite ways of describing what we do is...
You know when you finally get home after a long day after the tractor quit and the cows got out and your exhausted and you walk into your house to finally eat supper and there's that stack of paperwork on the corner of the table and you think, "I should really do that but I just don't have the energy or even know where to start" - that stack 📚, that's what we do.
So when you think of Breakaway, try asking .... what can I use help with? What might improve your business or your mental load but just feels like WORK, compared to being out doing what you love. Then give us a shout and we would love to assist you!

To help you kickstart the list of things you could off load to us … here are some fun projects we have been working on:
➡️ Funding & Grant Applications 🧐 there's possibly funding available for that fencing you did or that water project
➡️Data Tracking & Reporting 🧐 is there money in keeping your calves and feeding them or buying calves and sending to a feedlot
➡️ Financial & Project Coordination 🧐 are you getting what you need out of your financial institution? Are there pain points or cashflow challenges that feel like they should be easier?
➡️Event & Admin Support 🧐 you want to host a sale or event but the workload is too daunting

’Twas the night before Christmas.
All the ponies had been fed.
I was tryin’ to choke down
A few beans before bed.

But my belly was churnin’.
It just wouldn’t sit still.
It was gonna be a long night,
I sure nuff could tell.

’Cause in my string of horses
There was one called Saint Nick.
And thinking ’bout ridin’ him
Sometimes made me sick.

Ol’ Flipper had come in
With a front leg a draggin’
Last fall during shippin’
When we was out on the wagon.

Saint Nick was an extra
In the outfit’s remuda.
And every time you got on him
He’d give a gift to ya.

That gift was a bronc ride,
And I don’t mean no hoppin’.
He was sin covered lightnin’
That would get your ears to poppin’.

Saint Nick liked to buck,
But that wasn’t all.
He’d kick ya, and bite ya
And was sure bad to paw.

But the boss cut him to me.
That’s just part of the deal.
Flipper got turned out
For the winter to heal.

I thought it kinda funny
That it was Saint Nick’s turn to go
With me checkin’ heifers
The next day in the snow.

So I lay in my bedroll
With the fireplace a crackin’.
Had terrible nightmares
’Bout my poor neck a snappin’.

I woke up at midnight,
Again at two-thirty.
I decided to saddle Saint Nick
This time a little early

I thought, I’ll set him to soak
With the cinches pulled tight.
Come daybreak, that’ll help
Take out some of the fight.

Well, I got him saddled
Out there in the dark.
It was kinda like hand-feedin’
Breadcrumbs to a shark.

I came back inside
To wash the blood off my head,
And to see how much of my
White shirt had turned red.

I lay down again.
Maybe now I could rest.
He was still gonna try me,
But maybe not with his best.

I’d just closed my eyes
When I heard such a racket.
I stumbled out of bed,
Put on my denim jacket.

As I walked to the horse pens
The moon lit the stage,
And the icicles shone bright
On the high-desert sage.

Out in the big pen
On a fresh carpet of white
My eyes took in
The most amazing, wild sight.

Saint Nick was a-makin’
A wild, crooked leap
With a potbellied feller
Sittin’ up there in the seat.

He throwed him his head
With one hand in the air.
Saint Nick touched the ground
And growled like a bear.

I’ll tell ya in my life, boys,
I’ve sure seen some rides,
But I thought that critter
Would buck out of his hide.

He’d jump sideways
While he chewed on a foot.
The red, fuzzy coat
Popped out chimney soot.

He’d show you his belly,
Then stand on his head.
I noticed the fat feller’s
Cheeks turnin’ red.

Saint Nick finally winded
And throwed his head up.
Started lickin’ his lips
Like an old, gentle pup.

The rider stepped down
To hand me the reins.
I noticed in his mouth
A broken candy cane.

That’s when it hit me.
My mind started to click.
I’d just watched Saint Nick
Ride ol’ Saint Nick.

Then I noticed his team,
And his little red sleigh.
His reindeer were hobbled,
Eatin’ some of my hay.

He said, “Merry Christmas.
Hope that present will do.
I knocked some of the rough off
That ol’ pony for you.”

Then he buttoned his coat
And limped on away.
Unhobbled his reindeer,
And climbed into his sleigh.

I heard him exclaim
As he headed back North,
“I ain’t never seen nothin’
Buck like that ol’ horse!”
