## The panel's verdict

LIVERYLive, from Stablemate Live Ltd, is a livery-yard management app for iOS and Android. Its strongest area is boarding and billing at 7: services ticked done by staff post their charge to the horse's tab the same day, custom livery packages run their recurring fees automatically, month-end invoices go out in one click, and the month hands off to Xero or QuickBooks with Stripe taking card payment at booking. On facilities and lessons, at 6 to 7, arena booking is documented in depth — booking types, per-slot rules, add-ons, a postcode-searchable marketplace — while the lower scores flag the unevidenced teaching side: lessons, school horses, courses, clinics. Weakest are horse care records at 4 — health care, feeding and medical categories without evidenced structure — and pricing transparency and sovereignty at 3 to 4: only the Arena tier is priced in public, stated as completely free; the terms state hosting in the United Kingdom; the privacy policy names Google Analytics, Google Maps, Stripe and a Facebook app; and we found no public information on subprocessor locations. Persona-weighted totals run 5.0 to 5.4.

**Speaks for it:**
- Extra-service requests drop onto the day's to-do list, and the tick that marks them done logs the charge to the horse's tab the same day
- Customisable monthly livery packages run their fixed recurring fees automatically, with one-click month-end invoices for the whole yard and a paid/unpaid dashboard
- The month's billing hands off to Xero or QuickBooks, triggering the official invoice, with card payment via Stripe taken at booking
- Arena booking types set who may book, bookings per slot, price and booking window, with add-ons and a postcode-searchable marketplace listing
- Owners get their own app accounts to request extra services, prepay at booking, book arena slots and receive real-time notifications

**Held against it:**
- Horse care records are named categories only — we found no public information on vaccination and farrier reminders, medication logs or a documented export format
- Only the Arena tier is priced in public — stated as completely free with no subscription or set-up fee — and the captured pages carry no price figures for Solo or Pro, minimum term, VAT treatment or data-return terms on cancellation
- The terms state hosting in the United Kingdom, and we found no public information on subprocessor locations, a data processing agreement or a security statement
- We found no public information on lessons with school horses, courses or clinics — the teaching side of a yard's income
- Staff management covers rotas, to-do lists and permissions, but we found no public information on time recording, holiday planning or an audit trail of who did which task

**Best for:**
- You run a livery yard where unbilled extra services cost you money — the tick-to-charge loop and one-click month-end invoicing are the strongest documented flow
- You want to hire out your arena with per-type booking rules and advance card payment, and be discoverable by riders searching by postcode
- Your bookkeeping runs on Xero or QuickBooks and you want the month's billing to hand off automatically
- You want owners requesting and prepaying extra services from their own app accounts

**Avoid if:**
- You need vaccination and farrier reminders, medication logs or vet-ready record exports — the captured pages give category names only
- Your income is teaching — lessons with school horses, courses and clinics — for which the bench found no public information
- You require EU hosting or a data processing agreement before signing — the terms state United Kingdom hosting and the captured pages give no public information on a data processing agreement
- You must budget an annual cost before contacting the vendor — the captured pages carry no price figures for Solo or Pro

## Scores by judge and criterion

### 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.
