## The panel's verdict

Stall Manager, from received.eu — a sole trader in Nuremberg per the imprint — serves riding stables, riding schools and livery yards in the browser and app. Facilities and lessons score highest, at 7 to 8: arena and zone booking with conflict check and waitlist, lessons with trainer and school horses, subscriptions, credit with a forecast, and riding shares with weekly quota and automated monthly billing. Pricing transparency scores lowest, at 2 to 3: the billing module carries the only public price, EUR 2.50/month or EUR 30.00/year, and we found no public price for the base subscription, the SEPA & Dunning add-on or the website package. Horse care records sit at 4 — profiles, feeding, inventory — with no public information on vaccination, worming or farrier schedules or a medication log. Staff and operations and the boarder portal span 4 to 6: lower scores cite no public information on time recording or owners seeing their horse's records, higher ones credit the task-and-calendar base and family accounts. Sovereignty scores 4 to 5: servers stated in Germany, hosting rented from an unnamed web hoster.

**Speaks for it:**
- Arena and zone booking comes with conflict check, waitlist and recurring series.
- Lesson units carry time, lesson type, trainer and school horses, with capacities showing available spots.
- The billing module runs invoicing from fixed costs and add-ons through to PDF exports, extended by a SEPA & Dunning add-on for mandate management, collection runs and structured dunning levels.
- Fixed riding shares on school horses carry a weekly quota with automated monthly billing.
- Free WhatsApp and email support comes with a free 30-day trial that ends automatically.

**Held against it:**
- Only the billing module, at EUR 2.50/month or EUR 30.00/year, carries a public price, and we found no public price for the base subscription, the SEPA & Dunning add-on or the website package.
- We found no public information on vaccination, worming or farrier schedules with reminders, a medication log, or an exportable horse file for the vet or the next stable.
- We found no public information on time recording for employees and mini-jobbers, shift planning, or a completion history showing who did which task.
- We found no public information on boarders viewing their own horse's records or invoices, as the portal evidence shown covers the riding-school family side.
- The privacy policy describes rented space from a web hoster it does not name, and we found no public information on subprocessors for push, email and payments or on a data processing agreement.

**Best for:**
- You run a riding school and need double-booking protection on arenas and zones, online family lesson booking with credit balances, and lesson subscriptions.
- You collect board and add-on services by direct debit and want mandate management, collection runs and dunning levels alongside the invoices.
- You want one place for the yard's day — tasks, calendar, absences, feeding and inventory — that keeps working offline in the barn.

**Avoid if:**
- You must compute a full annual cost before signing — the pages publish one module price and we found none for the base subscription or the add-ons.
- Your bookkeeper needs bookings exported to a named accounting tool — the evidenced output is PDF invoices.
- Your vet or inspector needs vaccination, worming, farrier and medication documentation — the evidenced horse care covers profiles, feeding and inventory.
- You are buying chiefly so livery owners can see their own horse's records and invoices — the portal evidence shown is the riding-school family side.

### 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.
