## The panel's verdict

EquineM, from the Dutch vendor EquineM B.V., is all-in-one stable management software. The bench's evidence splits cleanly: horse care records and facilities and lessons score 4 (4 in both) on stated vaccination schedules with deworming reminders, mare cards, studbook data import, and a reservation system whose occupancy customers can view from home, while pricing transparency is the weakest criterion — we found no public price figure for any paid module, per horse, or for the EquiBoard hardware, and the documented path is scheduling a demo. Scores spread 2 to 4 on boarding and billing and on the boarder portal: bench members crediting the stated billing promise and unnamed accounting and payment integrations scored high, while those requiring a shown link from a logged service to a compliant invoice — board contracts, SEPA mandates, VAT treatment — or an owner login beyond occupancy-viewing scored low. Sovereignty sits at 3: the privacy policy says data are stored on the vendor's own secure servers or those of a third party, with no location given.

**Speaks for it:**
- Digital health records with vaccination schedules and deworming reminders are stated, with mare cards and studbook data import.
- A reservation system for the facilities a stable offers, with occupancy customers can view at home, is stated.
- Roles and granular permission levels, to-do status tracking and planning for the right people at the right day and time are stated.
- Encrypted daily backups are stated, with daily backups kept 14 days and monthly backups a minimum of seven years.
- The EquiBoard touchscreen is sold with a dedicated app, CE certification and a 1 year warranty.

**Held against it:**
- We found no public price figures for any paid module, per horse or for the EquiBoard hardware; the offered path is scheduling a demo.
- Billing appears as marketing wording plus unnamed accounting and payment provider integrations; we found no public information on board contracts, recurring invoices, SEPA mandates or VAT treatment.
- The privacy policy describes storage only as the vendor's own secure servers or those of a third party; we found no public information on hosting location, subprocessors or a data processing agreement.
- We found no public information on an owner login showing a boarder their own horse's records, logged services and invoices.
- We found no public information on structured feeding plans, a medication log with dose and who administered it, or an exportable history when a horse leaves the stable.

**Best for:**
- You want to digitise health records — vaccination and deworming reminders, mare cards, studbook data import — for the horses in your yard.
- You need a facility reservation system where customers can see occupancy from home.
- You want to-do tracking with roles and granular permission levels, plus a stable touchscreen replacing whiteboard and agenda.

**Avoid if:**
- You must compute a real annual cost before committing; we found no public price figures and the offered path is scheduling a demo.
- Your accountant will demand board contracts, recurring invoices, SEPA mandates, VAT treatment and a named accounting export before you sign.
- Your boarders need to see their own horse's records, logged services and invoices, or send instructions to the stable.
- You must confirm hosting location and named subprocessors before signing; the captured privacy policy gives no location and names no third party.

### 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.
