The panel's verdict

BarnManager is stable and equestrian management software from Digital Crumbs LLC, a California limited liability company, with free iOS and Android apps. Scoring favors the money round: boarding and billing runs 6 to 7, on recurring and one-off charges that sweep into invoices on a set schedule, with past-due tracking, online payments and a QuickBooks export. Horse care records run 5 to 6, on a single horse profile holding health history, farrier, vet, medications and files. Staff and operations and facilities and lessons each sit at 4: no public information on time recording, shift planning or facility booking. The boarder portal split widest, 4 to 6 — the top score prized owner logins; the bottom weighed the absence of owner-to-stable request channels or separation between owners' views. Weakest are pricing transparency at 2 to 3 — no price figures on the captured pages, annual cost not computable — and sovereignty at 3 to 4 — the privacy policy states hosting in the United States, and no public information on a European option or a data processing agreement.

Speaks for it

  • Recurring and one-off charges sweep into invoices on a set schedule, with past-due tracking, online payments and a QuickBooks export.
  • Each horse has a single profile holding health history, farrier, vet, medications and files, with feed and medication notes and reminders.
  • Owner logins show a horse's schedule, updates and billing in one place, on web and free iOS and Android apps.
  • Plans publish unlimited horses and unlimited users, with a free trial and free setup help.
  • The privacy policy states personally identifiable information is not sold or rented.

Report an error

Held against it

  • No price figures appear on the captured pricing pages, so an annual cost cannot be computed from public pages.
  • The privacy policy states the services are hosted in the United States, and we found no public information on a European hosting option or a data processing agreement.
  • We found no public information on time recording, shift or holiday planning, or task assignment with completion records.
  • We found no public information on SEPA direct debit, VAT rates per service type, or credit notes.
  • The terms reserve the right to compile and disclose aggregated metrics and trends to third parties.

Report an error

Best for

  • You run a boarding yard and want the monthly billing round — recurring charges, approval, past-due tracking, online payment and a QuickBooks hand-off — inside one system.
  • You want one structured record per horse — health history, farrier, vet, medications, feed notes and reminders — replacing whiteboard notes.
  • You want boarders to check their horse's schedule, updates and billing themselves from any device.
  • You prefer a plan structure of unlimited horses and unlimited users with free mobile apps and free setup help.

Report an error

Avoid if

  • You must know the price before committing — the captured pricing pages publish plan inclusions but no price figures.
  • You need European hosting or a data processing agreement — the privacy policy states hosting in the United States, and we found no public information on either.
  • You employ staff and need working-time or time-recording documentation — the published staff features cover tasks, checklists and chat, and we found no public information on time recording.
  • You run a school yard needing arena or equipment bookings with capacity rules, or online course registration with payment — the published scheduling covers lessons, competitions and vendor appointments.

Board contracts, extra services & billing

Show reasoning
How this is scored

How the stable gets paid: board contracts per box and horse, extra services logged at the moment they are done, prepaid credit, recurring invoices, SEPA direct debit, VAT treatment that a tax adviser accepts, and an export to the accountant.

0 — No billing at all; services are noted somewhere and invoiced by hand in another tool.

3 — A list of services or a price table per horse, but invoices are written outside the system and nothing connects a logged service to a charge.

5 — Board contracts and extra services billed from the system: monthly invoices generated from contracts plus logged services, sent to the boarder, with payment status tracked.

8 — Services logged on the phone where they happen flow into the invoice or a prepaid balance automatically, SEPA direct debit with mandates, VAT rates configurable per service type, cancellation and credit notes, and an export to DATEV or a named accounting tool.

10 — The money side is discharged inside the system: GoBD-compliant numbering and archiving stated, e-invoices (XRechnung/ZUGFeRD) supported, prepaid credit with low-balance warnings, dunning, multiple payers per horse (shares, Reitbeteiligung) split correctly, and every charge traceable to the logged service and the staff member who logged it.

Report an error

The Boarding-Stable Owner

Recurring invoices that sweep up one-off and recurring charges automatically, past-due tracking, online payments and a QuickBooks export would cover the monthly billing round, and multiple contacts can sit on one billing account. I found no public information on SEPA direct debit with mandates, VAT rates per service type, credit notes or a DATEV export, which my tax adviser would demand before a single invoice goes out. 1 3 4

Report an error

The Stable Manager

One-off and recurring charges sit on a billing account that can hold multiple contacts, sweep into invoices on a schedule you approve, and past-due tracking, online payments and a QuickBooks export for the bookkeeper are all inside the system — that is most of my monthly money round done. We found no public information on SEPA direct debit mandates, VAT rates configurable per service type, or credit notes, so it stops short of the full bookkeeping discharge. 1 3 4

Report an error

The Boarder

Recurring and one-off charges sweep into invoices automatically or after approval, multiple contacts can share one billing account with charges split across invoices, past-due accounts are tracked, clients can pay online, and invoice and payment data exports to QuickBooks — I could at least interrogate those three extra wraps on my bill. We found no public information on SEPA direct debit, VAT settings per service type, or credit notes, so it stops short of the top band. 1 3 4

Report an error

The Riding-School Lead

Monthly billing looks real here: recurring invoices, charges that sweep onto them on a schedule, split charges, past-due tracking, online payments through Stripe and a QuickBooks hand-off to the bookkeeper, which is close to the money flow I want with course revenue in the same books as board. It stops short of the full back office — I found no public information on tax rates per service type, credit notes, dunning or prepaid balances. 1 3 4

Report an error

The Tax Adviser

Recurring invoices plus one-off and recurring charges that sweep to invoices on a schedule, split charges, Stripe online payments and past-due tracking are genuinely billed from the system, and QuickBooks is a named export for the bookkeeper. But we found no public information on VAT rates configurable per service type, SEPA direct debit mandates, credit notes or GoBD-style numbering and archiving, so for a European stable the tax treatment would still have to be settled outside the system. 1 3 4

Report an error

The Skeptic

Recurring and one-off charges sweep into invoices on a set schedule — sent automatically or after approval — with past-due tracking, online payments through Stripe, split charges, multiple contacts per billing account, and a named accounting-tool export in QuickBooks: that is real billing from the system, not a price list. I found no public information on SEPA direct debit mandates, VAT treatment per service type, credit notes or prepaid credit — exactly the parts a European tax adviser asks about, and a US payment stack answers none of them. 1 3 4

Horse records, feeding & health

Show reasoning
How this is scored

The record per horse: master data and passport details, feeding and supplement plans, vaccinations, worming, farrier and vet appointments, medication given, turnout and blanket instructions — kept so that a vet, an inspector or the owner can rely on it, and exportable when the horse leaves.

0 — No horse records beyond a name; care instructions live on a whiteboard.

3 — A profile per horse with free-text notes and perhaps a photo, but no structured feeding plan, no health schedule and no history.

5 — Structured feeding plans per horse shown to staff by feeding round, vaccinations, worming and farrier dates recorded with reminders, and appointments per horse in a calendar.

8 — Health records with due dates to the FN/LPO vaccination schedule, a medication log with dose, date and who administered it, owner instructions (blankets, turnout, special feed) visible to whoever does the round, and a full history per horse exportable as a document.

10 — A record that stands up to scrutiny: medication documentation meeting the TAMG duties for food-producing equines stated, passport and UELN data held, every change attributed and dated, vet and farrier entries from external professionals possible, and the complete file handed to a new stable in a documented export format.

Report an error

The Boarding-Stable Owner

A single horse profile holding health history, farrier, vet, medications and files, with feed, supplement and special-instruction notes in the same place plus reminders, is a real whiteboard replacement. I found no public information on a medication log with dose, date and who administered it, a vaccination schedule, or a documented per-horse export to hand to the next stable. 1 2 3

Report an error

The Stable Manager

Every horse gets one profile with health history, farrier, vet, meds and files, plus managed feed, supplement, medication and special-instruction notes, event and expiration reminders and free phone apps — the night shift can read the plan at the far end of the barn. What I did not find is a medication log naming who gave what dose when, or a documented export of the whole file when the horse moves to a new stable. 1 2 3

Report an error

The Boarder

Each horse gets a profile holding health history, farrier, vet, medication and files, with feed, supplement and medication management, special-instruction notes and reminders — enough for me to see what the farrier did and when. We found no public information on vaccination or worming schedules with due dates, on medication entries naming who gave the dose, or on a documented per-horse export format, so I would not yet rely on it the way a vet or an inspector would. 1 2 3

The Skeptic

A single horse profile with health history, farrier, vet, medication and files, plus feed, supplement and medication management, event and expiration reminders, and CSV exports gets most of the way to a structured record. I found no public information on vaccination schedules with due dates, on who administered a medication at what dose, or on passport and UELN data — the pieces a vet or inspector actually demands. And the terms put the export duty on the stable before termination, with deletion permitted 30 days after. 1 3 4

Staff, rotas & daily operations

Show reasoning
How this is scored

The daily running of the yard: tasks and feeding rounds, shift and holiday planning, time recording for employees and mini-jobbers, help from boarders (Stalldienst), and reminders — and, where staff are clocked in by location, how that is done and documented.

0 — No staff or task features; the day is organised by phone and paper.

3 — A shared to-do list or chat, with no assignment, no recurrence and no record of who did what.

5 — Recurring tasks and rounds assigned to people with completion ticked on the phone, a shift plan, and reminders for due work.

8 — Time recording for employees that meets the minimum-wage and working-time documentation duties, holiday and absence planning, boarder duty rotas for self-care stables, completion history per task, and any location-based clock-in documented as opt-in with its purpose stated.

10 — Operations run and are evidenced in the system: rotas, time records and absences exported to payroll, permissions per role (owner, manager, groom, boarder), offline use in a barn without signal, and an audit trail answering who fed, medicated or turned out which horse when.

Report an error

The Boarding-Stable Owner

Tasks and checklists linked to horses and daily routines, a shared calendar, group chat and customisable user permissions give the yard a backbone.

The Riding-School Lead

Tasks and checklists tied to horses and daily routines, chat, customisable permissions and mobile apps give me a bit more than a shared to-do list.

Report an error

The Skeptic

Tasks and checklists linked to horses and daily routines, group chat for staff and trainers, and customisable permissions for unlimited users go beyond a shared to-do list, but I found no public information on task assignment, completion ticked on the phone, a shift plan, or any record of who did what. Nothing public on time recording, holiday planning or boarder duty rotas either — for a yard with employees and mini-jobbers that is the difference between an app and a payroll risk. 1 2 3

Boarder portal & communication

Show reasoning
How this is scored

What the horse owner sees and does: their horse's records and the services billed to them, instructions to the stable, bookings, news from the yard — and how their personal data and their horse's data are scoped, so each owner sees their own horse and nothing else.

0 — No owner access; everything goes by WhatsApp, phone or a notice board.

3 — A group chat or news feed for the whole yard, with no per-owner view of their own horse or bill.

5 — Owner login showing their own horse's released records, logged services and invoices, with a way to send instructions or requests to the stable.

8 — Owners, co-owners and Reitbeteiligungen scoped separately with the stable deciding what is released, push notifications for due dates and charges, bookings and requests with status, and the privacy policy naming how owner data is processed.

10 — The portal replaces the phone calls: every record and charge an owner is entitled to see available on demand, instructions acknowledged by the staff member who reads them, owner data exportable and deletable on request, and roles that keep one boarder's data out of another's view by design.

Facilities, lessons & events

How this is scored

The yard's shared resources and teaching business: arena and indoor school bookings, horse walker, treadmill and solarium use, lessons and school horses, courses and clinics with registration and payment, guest boxes.

0 — No booking or lesson features.

3 — A shared calendar where anyone can type an entry, with no rules, no capacity and no link to billing.

5 — Arena and equipment booking with time slots and rules, lessons scheduled with riders and school horses, and courses with online registration.

8 — Bookings with capacity, closures and booking rules per user group, equipment use linked to billing or credit, lesson cards or subscriptions, school-horse workload tracked, and events with participant management and payment.

10 — The facility runs on the system: device integration (NFC, gates, walker or solarium controllers) recording use automatically, external riders and guests bookable with their own terms, lesson and course revenue flowing into the same accounts as board, and utilisation reported per facility.

European sovereignty panel opinion

Show reasoning
How this is scored

Who the contracting entity and the parent company are, where boarder, staff and horse data are hosted, and who the subprocessors are (hosting, push notifications, payments, email). Independently sourced by the sovereignty pipeline; a phone app also sends data through the app-store and push providers, so the chain counts, not only the server.

0 — Non-EU vendor and contracting entity, hosting unstated, subprocessors unnamed, and no privacy policy that covers the app.

3 — A privacy policy exists, but hosting location is unstated or non-EU and the processors behind the app (analytics, push, payment) are not named.

5 — EU hosting stated and an EU contracting entity, but parts of the chain (push notifications, analytics, email, payment) run through non-EU providers without a stated safeguard.

8 — EU hosting on named infrastructure, EU contracting entity, subprocessors listed with locations, a data processing agreement offered to the stable for boarder and staff data, and location tracking of staff described with its legal basis.

10 — Sovereign end to end and evidenced: European ownership, entity, hosting and every subprocessor, data export and deletion documented, and a security or certification statement published rather than implied.

Pricing transparency

Show reasoning
How this is scored

Whether a stable owner can compute the real annual cost from public pages alone: price per stable, box, horse or module, which modules (billing, staff, portal, devices) cost extra, setup fees, minimum term, and what happens to the data on cancellation.

0 — No public prices at all; every stable is a sales call.

3 — A starting price or "from" figure exists, but what is included and how it scales with horses or modules is unclear.

5 — Prices per tier or module are public with the main inclusions, but at least one commonly needed piece (billing, device integration, extra users, setup) is unpriced or "on request".

8 — Every tier and module priced publicly with its scaling rule (per box, horse or user), setup fees and add-ons listed, minimum term and VAT treatment stated.

10 — Complete price computability: annual cost derivable for a given yard size and module set, with every add-on, setup, hardware and support cost and the cancellation and data-return terms published.
