## The panel's verdict

Paddock Pro, stable and equestrian management software from High Park Software, was judged from one captured vendor page, and the bench found very little to score. Five criteria — boarding and billing, horse care records, staff and operations, boarder portal, facilities and lessons — returned 0 from every judge: we found no public information on board contracts, invoices, horse records, staff rotas, owner logins, or arena and lesson booking. What the page shows is three edition names (Small Farm, Business, Enterprise), a demo video, and the Arabian Horse Association naming Paddock Pro its official horse farm software — the page's only third-party endorsement. The only non-zero marks are single points on sovereignty and pricing transparency, the latter crediting the visible tier ladder; no judge disagreements were flagged, and score differences never exceeded one point. We found no published prices, and judges noted a stable owner cannot compute an annual cost from the page. The vendor record names High Park Software while the page copyright names Alua Software, with no location stated for either.

**Speaks for it:**
- Publishes a three-edition ladder — Small Farm, Business and Enterprise — on the vendor page.
- Offers a demo video buyers can watch before enquiring.
- Carries the Arabian Horse Association's official horse farm software endorsement.

**Held against it:**
- Scored 0 on all five stable-management criteria — boarding and billing, horse care records, staff and operations, boarder portal, and facilities and lessons.
- We found no public information on structured horse records — feeding plans, vaccinations, worming, farrier or medication logs — that a vet or inspector could rely on.
- We found no public information on any owner or boarder login, per-owner views of records and charges, or instruction channels.
- No sovereignty attributes are on record; judges found no public information on hosting location, contracting-entity country or subprocessors, and the vendor record and page copyright name different companies.
- We found no published prices, setup fees, minimum terms or data-return terms alongside the three edition names.

**Best for:**
- You run an Arabian horse operation and give weight to the breed association's official-software endorsement.
- You are comfortable evaluating through a demo video and a vendor conversation rather than published documentation.
- You only need a tier ladder to prompt an enquiry, with scope and cost settled in conversation.

**Avoid if:**
- You need a clear contracting entity and data location before signing — ask the vendor: the public pages we read do not show it
- You must budget without a sales call — ask the vendor: the public pages we read do not show it
- You require documented evidence of core yard functions before shortlisting — the bench scored 0 on all five stable-management criteria.

### 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.
