## The panel's verdict

DigiStable, from Hof Ohana in Bargteheide, Germany, is a smartphone-first, modular stable management app with prepaid credit for extra services. Its strongest scoring is on horse care records and the boarder portal. The terms name feeding, vaccination and farrier appointments, medication, observations and vet reports kept per horse by staff and boarders, with photo upload; boarders hold their own accounts, book extra services, receive email and push notifications, and can opt out of publicity photos. The weak spots are staff and operations, where we found no public information on tasks, feeding rounds, shift planning or time recording, and facilities and lessons, where the documented functions are gate opening and horse walker or solarium activation via browser location. Boarding and billing scored 2-3: extra-service booking is evidenced, invoicing and payment collection are not. Sovereignty scored 3-4: the imprint names a sole trader at a Bargteheide yard, and we found no public information on hosting location or the providers behind push, email and payments. No prices appear on the captured pages.

**Speaks for it:**
- Per-horse care records are named in the terms — feeding, vaccination and farrier appointments, medication, observations and vet reports, with photo upload for documentation.
- Boarders hold their own accounts, book extra services, and receive email and push notifications about appointments and emergencies.
- Boarders can object at any time to publication of their horse's photos.
- The only individually named external service, Nominatim of the OpenStreetMap Foundation, is sent just a postcode and country restriction.
- Presence verification works via manually released geolocation, with no persistent tracking and no GPS coordinates stored.

**Held against it:**
- Boarding and billing scored 2-3; we found no public information on invoices generated in the system, SEPA mandates, VAT treatment or export to accounting.
- Staff and operations scored 1-3; we found no public information on task assignment, feeding rounds, shift or holiday planning, or time recording.
- Facilities and lessons scored 2-3; beyond gate opening and horse walker or solarium activation, we found no public information on arena or equipment booking, lessons, school horses or course registration.
- We found no public information on due-date reminders, on who administered which medication, or on exporting a horse's file when it leaves the stable.
- We found no public information on whether each owner's view is scoped to their own horse's records and bills.

**Best for:**
- You run a boarding yard and want boarders themselves maintaining feeding, medication and observation records, with photo documentation.
- You want a smartphone channel to boarders for extra-service booking and appointment and emergency notifications.
- You already run invoicing, staff planning and scheduling elsewhere and want a care-record and communication layer rather than a full business system.
- You want presence on the yard verifiable through opt-in, manually released location without persistent tracking.

**Avoid if:**
- You need recurring invoices, SEPA collection, VAT handling and an accounting export inside the system — boarding and billing scored 2-3, with extra-service booking the only evidenced piece.
- Your yard runs on recurring tasks, feeding rounds, shift or holiday planning and staff time records — staff and operations scored 1-3 and we found no public information on any of these.
- You teach or rent facilities and need arena slots, school horses and course registration — the captured pages show gate opening and horse walker or solarium activation, and we found no public information on booking or lessons.

### The judges

- **The Boarding-Stable Owner** (v1.0): Runs a forty-box Pensionsstall and loses a few hundred euros a month to blanket changes and leg wraps nobody wrote down. Wants extra services logged where they happen and billed without retyping, direct debit that collects on time, and one system instead of a spreadsheet and three WhatsApp groups.
- **The Stable Manager** (v1.0): Runs the morning round with two grooms, a trainee and a mini-jobber, and is the one the vet calls. Wants feeding plans the night shift can read on a phone, medication logged with who gave what, rotas and time records that hold up, and an app that still works at the far end of the barn.
- **The Boarder** (v1.0): Pays five hundred euros a month for her mare and works full time. Wants to see what the farrier did, why the bill has three extra wraps, and whether her turnout instruction was read — and does not want the other boarders, or an analytics company, seeing her horse's file.
- **The Riding-School Lead** (v1.0): Runs lessons six days a week on twelve school horses, plus weekend clinics with guest riders. Wants lessons and arena slots booked without double bookings, school horses not over-worked, ten-lesson cards that count themselves, and course payments that land in the same books as board.
- **The Tax Adviser** (v1.0): Does the books for a dozen equestrian businesses and knows that board, lessons and sold hay are not taxed alike. Wants invoices with GoBD-compliant numbering, VAT per service, a DATEV export instead of a shoebox of PDFs, and time records for the staff that would survive a customs minimum-wage check.
- **The Skeptic** (v1.0): Has seen stable apps arrive with a launch post and vanish two seasons later with the horse records inside. Reads "billing" that is a price list, "staff management" that is a chat, geofencing with no word on staff consent, and an imprint that names a riding stable rather than a software company — and asks what happens to the data then.
