It seems like these days there’s an app for everything, including managing the care of your horses! How do you know if a barn management system is right for your facility? If you want to stay on top of horse care, make billing easier, and manage client records effortlessly – it’s time to look to Stable Secretary!
Improve the quality of horse care
When you’re managing multiple horses, sometimes the little things can fall through the cracks. While the details around a horse’s injury or illness are easy to remember at the time it occurs, within a few months you may be wracking your brain to recall the specifics. If your facility uses different farriers or vets for different horses, organizing schedules can be tricky. Performance horses often receive preventative care in addition to routine treatments, which means a more rigorous schedule and even more to remember. All of these items can be addressed through Stable Secretary, which allows you to note vet and farrier visits, organize schedules, and keep track of other important details for every horse in your barn.
Access information directly from your phone
Doesn’t it always seem like an employee or owner asks you for something specific when you’re right in the middle of a task? Whether you’re cooling out a horse, tacking up for a lesson or trying to sneak to your car to grab something to eat, you can make notes or look up horse details quickly on your phone with Stable Secretary. If you choose to stick with a traditional binder system, you’ll be stuck running to the farm office every time you need to look up information.
Stable Secretary allows you to track current and historical health, farrier and care records directly from your phone. Barn manager Jennifer Frank at Wyndsor Farms believes, “Because I am able to enter records and access those records from my mobile device and iPad I have all the information available and organized in one place. It’s a ‘must have’ for every barn- big or small. I feel like Stable Secretary has made me a better manager.”
Make billing simple
Whether you have your own horses at home or manage a boarding facility, maintaining personal and client billing can be time-consuming and frustrating. Stable Secretary has features that make it easy to create invoices and track payments, which means you’ll never spend another late night trying to catch up on accounts or waste time chasing down clients for late checks.
Increase teamwork and communication
Even if your team is small, it can be hard to keep everyone informed of the evolving needs of horses. Rather than posting whiteboards full of scribbled notes all over your barn or juggling a group text chain that’s more memes than work-related instructions, choose Stable Secretary. Add team members, vets, farriers and owners to make it simple to pass along information on the horses in your barn. Do you have horses on medications? Do certain horses need boots for turnout, while others kick boots clean out of the field? Every horse is an individual, and with the ability to cater your care in such a detailed way, you can optimize performance, health and happiness in your barn.
Where to begin
A barn management tool can be an investment in your future and a step forward in growing your business. If you think a barn management tool could help you improve your facility, simplify the day-to-day requirements of maintaining athletes, and get you back to focusing on what’s truly important in your business, then there’s no better place to start than the trusted tool, Stable Secretary.
