Features
Everything below is in the app today
No “coming soon” hidden in the list. If it is on this page you can do it the day you install LiveryYardPro; what is planned but not built has its own section at the bottom, clearly marked.
The yard on one screen
Every horse your yard looks after, with its owner underneath. Search by horse, breed or owner name, and filter by the tags you use to group liveries.
Care notes where they get read
Allergies and warnings sit on the list itself. “Dust allergy — no dry hay” has to reach the person carrying the haynet, and a note one tap away is a note read after the mistake.
Today — the whole yard’s timeline
One list, newest first, of everything logged today across every horse. It answers “has he been fed?” without walking to the stable, and it stops a horse being fed twice when two people are on the yard.
Logging that takes two taps
Fed, water, droppings or a note, filed against the right horse with the time and the name of whoever logged it. Droppings because it is a clinical observation — it is one of the first things a vet asks about a suspected colic.
Sessions, in minutes not miles
Sixteen activities from hacking and jumping to lunging, long-reining, the water treadmill and turnout. Duration leads, because riders say “an hour’s hack” and a rehab schedule is written in time.
A route where a route is honest
Hacks, cross country, competition and hunting record where the horse went. Arena work is timed only — a phone cannot tell circles from GPS jitter in a 20×40 school, so the app gives no distance rather than an invented one.
Farrier, vet, dentist, physio
The yard books these while the owner is at work, so the yard files them. Each visit takes a short line and a next-due date — six weeks is a button — and that date feeds the owner’s reminders.
The box-rest record
In-hand walking is a first-class activity, not “other”. A horse coming back from injury is brought back five minutes at a time on a schedule the vet sets, and the log of it is what they ask to see.
Owners share on their terms
You send an owner a code. They redeem it in their own app and choose which horses to share and which areas you may see. An area you were not granted shows as locked — never as an empty list you might read as “nothing recorded”.
Works in the barn with no signal
The yard list and the care notes are read from a cache, so a groom standing in a barn with one bar still gets them. When what you are looking at is stale the app says so, with a date, rather than pretending it is current.
Your staff join your yard
Grooms and staff sign in and join the yard with a code you send them, so everyone is looking at the same horses. Nobody ends up creating a second, empty yard.
A photo against the right horse
A cut leg, a rug, a feed chart — photograph it on the yard and it is filed against the horse it belongs to.
Sessions
Sixteen activities, and an honest blank where a number would be invented
Hacking, cross country, competition, hunting, schooling, the ménage, lunging, jumping, lessons, in-hand walking, long-reining, swimming, the water treadmill, turnout and whatever else you need to call it.
Duration leads everywhere, because riders say “an hour's hack” and because a rehab schedule is written in time, not distance. The four activities that happen out on the roads and tracks record a route. Arena work does not: a phone cannot tell twenty minutes of circles from GPS drift in a 20×40 school, and a fabricated distance is the sort of figure an owner repeats to a vet.
Permissions
Locked is not the same as empty
An owner shares their horse with your yard by redeeming a code you send them, and they pick which horses and which parts of the record you get. It only works in that direction — a yard cannot add somebody's horse to itself.
Where you were not granted an area, the app says so. It never shows you an empty list you might reasonably read as “nothing recorded”, because for allergies and medication those two sentences are not remotely the same thing.
What we are working on next
None of the following is in the app today. It is here so you can see where LiveryYardPro is going before you decide whether it suits your yard — not so it can be counted as something you would be paying for.
- Stables and occupancy — Which horse is in which box, and what is free.
- Yard tasks and rotas — Jobs assigned to staff, recurring and ticked off.
- Livery billing — Monthly livery, extras and what is outstanding.
- Documents — Passports, insurance and livery agreements against the horse.
- Reports — A month of the yard’s care and work, summarised.
- Web access — The same yard from a laptop in the office.
