## The panel's verdict

horse+ is a stable and equestrian management app from KADACON GmbH of Schongau, Germany (formerly myroundpen), aimed at boarding stables, active and open stables, riding clubs, stable communities and riding schools. It is strongest on scheduling and on the basics of billing: facilities and lessons scored 5-6 on a base-package booking calendar for the arena and solarium with advance blocking for fixed school times, and boarding and billing scored 5-6 on invoices, contracts, open items and a one-click monthly report for the bookkeeping. It is weakest on staff and operations, where the pages show communication and service documentation but we found no public information on shift plans, holiday planning or time recording, and on sovereignty, where the legal notice names KADACON GmbH (HRB 281942, Munich commercial court) but we found no public information on hosting location or subprocessors behind push, email and payment. Horse care records and pricing transparency each scored a flat 4. Judge totals span 3.8 to 4.7, no criterion spread wider than one point, and no significant disagreement between judges was flagged.

**Speaks for it:**
- The base package includes a booking calendar for the arena and solarium with advance blocking for fixed school times, courses and farrier visits.
- Completed services pull into a one-click monthly report for the bookkeeping, alongside invoices, contracts and open items.
- Boarders book the arena or solarium from home and receive push news with read-rate tracking on the digital notice board.
- Prices are published — 'ab 30 € / Monat' with example packages of '85 € / Monat', '40 € / Monat' and '20 € / Monat', each 'zzgl. Mwst.' — and a free test is offered.
- The privacy policy states no location history or movement profiles are built, customer accounts are not publicly visible or search-indexable, and account data is deleted on termination.

**Held against it:**
- Staff and operations scored 3-4 — we found no public information on recurring tasks assigned to people, shift or holiday planning, or time recording for employees and mini-jobbers.
- Horse care records scored 4, with no public information on vaccination or worming schedules, medication logs, or an exportable history per horse.
- We found no public information on hosting location or on the subprocessors behind push, email and payment.
- The offer is modular and we found no public information on per-module prices, a scaling rule per horse or box, setup fees or the minimum term, so the real annual cost is not computable from the pages.
- We found no public information on a per-owner view of their own horse's records and invoices, or on SEPA direct debit and export to a named accounting tool.

**Best for:**
- You run a boarding stable and want boarders to book the hall and solarium themselves while you block fixed school times, clinics and farrier dates in advance.
- You bill from logged services and want every completed service in a one-click monthly report instead of additional programs or Excel lists.
- You want to reach the whole yard at once with push news and read-rate tracking rather than WhatsApp groups.
- You are a riding school and need lesson scheduling, confirmations and cancellations, occupancy plans and utilisation in the base package.

**Avoid if:**
- You need evidenced vaccination, worming or medication records per horse — horse care records scored 4 and we found no public information on these.
- You need staff-side tooling such as named task assignment, shift and holiday planning, or time recording — staff and operations scored 3-4.
- You must review hosting location and subprocessors before signing — we found no public information on either.
- You must compute the full annual cost up front — we found no public information on module prices, scaling, setup fees or the minimum term (pricing transparency scored 4).

### 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.
