## The panel's verdict

HorseLinc is a stable and equestrian management app that links horse records, service requests, invoices and payments in one place and collects payment for services such as braiding, farrier and veterinary care. It is strongest on the boarder portal, the review's highest scores at 4-5: horse managers see their horse's records and service history, request and coordinate services with providers, settle invoices in the same view, and switch roles when they act as both manager and provider. Boarding and billing scored a flat 4, reaching one-off service payment but stopping short of contract billing — the rationales found no public information on board contracts, recurring monthly invoices, SEPA mandates or accounting export. Staff and operations, facilities and lessons and pricing transparency all scored 0, and sovereignty scored 0-1 with no sovereignty attributes on record. No criterion spans more than a point, and the flagged splits report none; the vendor publishes no prices.

**Speaks for it:**
- Horse records, service requests, invoices and payments sit linked in one place without re-entering data
- Payments for services like braiding, farrier and veterinary care are collected in the app
- Each horse's profile carries a service history that can be shared with providers
- Horse managers get their own app view of records, invoices and payments and can switch between manager and provider roles
- How-to videos are available

**Held against it:**
- We found no public information on board contracts per box, recurring monthly invoices, SEPA mandates, VAT treatment or an export to an accounting tool
- We found no public information on structured feeding plans, vaccination or worming schedules, medication logs or an export of a horse's file
- Staff and operations scored 0, with no public information on tasks, feeding rounds, rotas or time recording
- Facilities and lessons scored 0, with no public information on arena or equipment booking, lessons or school horses
- No sovereignty attributes are on record — the contracting entity, hosting location and subprocessors are unstated

**Best for:**
- You are a horse manager who wants to request services like farrier, braiding or veterinary care, pay in the app, and see the charge tied to your horse's record
- You act as both horse manager and service provider and need to switch between the two roles
- You want to keep and share each horse's service history with providers such as farriers and vets

**Avoid if:**
- Your yard runs on lessons, school horses, course registration and arena or equipment booking
- You employ grooms and need tasks, feeding rounds, rotas and time recording
- Your income depends on recurring monthly board billing per box, with SEPA direct debit and accounting export
- You must verify the contracting entity, hosting location or subprocessors before boarder, staff or horse data flows

### 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.
