Made for the way barns really work
Boarding barns
Stalls, boarders, bills and open spaces in one place, with a page for people asking about a stall.
Show and training barns
Schedules, lessons, show entries, care records and the feed board the whole team can read.
Lesson programs
Lesson packages, instructors and the arena booked without double-booking.
Private farms
Your own horses, paddock rotation, supplies and the jobs that never end - on one map.
Everything the barn needs
A Today screen that runs the day
Chores, appointments, doses due and what needs attention - one glance at the start of every shift, with a handoff note for the next person.
Every horse, fully on record
Profiles, feed, weight, medications, vaccines, documents, photos and a care schedule that tells you what is due before it is late.
A barn map you can build in minutes
Draw your stalls and rooms, put horses (with their photos) in them, and see who is where from across the barn.
Your paddocks on a satellite map
Tap out each paddock, see who is turned out where, and get a warning before two horses that should not share are put together.
The right access for everyone
Owners, managers, staff and boarders each see what they need. You choose, role by role, what each can do and open.
The business side, too
Boarding, income and expenses, inquiries and a public open-stalls page, without a second system.

Why Stable SideKick
Reasons you can check for yourself, in the sample barn or in your own.
Everything in one app
Stalls, feed, care, chores, boarders, supplies and invoices live together, so you stop switching between sheets and chats.
Works on a phone at the barn door
It runs in your phone’s browser with nothing to install, and you can add it to your home screen.
Each person sees what their role allows
The owner sets, role by role, which tabs people can open and what they can do. The setting is per barn.
Boarders get a view of their own
They see their horse, their bills and the bulletin board, and can ask for a visit, without seeing anyone else’s.
Invite by email, code or QR
Send a one-time email invitation, or give out a barn code and let people scan its QR code.
Try a full sample barn first
The demo opens with no sign-in. Look around as an owner, manager, staff member or boarder.
Winter and daily routines are built in
A blanket planner that reads the forecast, hoof and paddock care, a daily turnout call, a handoff note and a feed-round checklist.
Print it, save it, download it
Daily sheets, stall cards, weekly and yearly reports, spreadsheets, a calendar file and a full backup.
Light, dark and larger text
Follow your device or choose a look yourself, and pick a text size that is easy to read.
What a barn needs
Compared with the usual alternative: spreadsheets, paper and group chats.
| What a barn needs | Stable SideKick | Spreadsheets, paper and group chats |
|---|---|---|
| Everything about a horse in one place | One profile with photos, feed, weight, medications, documents and a care schedule. | Spread across sheets, binders and old message threads. |
| Knowing what needs doing today | A Today screen with chores, appointments, doses due and a handoff note. | A whiteboard or a text thread that someone has to keep current. |
| The right access for each person | Roles and tab visibility you set for your barn. | Everyone sees the whole sheet, or nobody does. |
| Keeping boarders informed | A boarder view, an owner portal link and messages inside the app. | Photos and updates sent one by one. |
| Seeing what is due before it is late | Care schedules, document expiry alerts and low-supply alerts. | Remembered, or written on a wall calendar. |
| Winter blanket and turnout decisions | A planner that reads the forecast for the hours you choose. | Checking a weather app and keeping the list in your head. |
| Printed sheets for the barn | A daily sheet, stall cards and a stall QR code, printed from the app. | Typed up and printed by hand each time. |
| Getting your records out | Downloadable lists and a full backup the owner can take any time. | Yours already, but scattered over many files and phones. |

Your records are stored in Google Cloud, and you can download a full backup of your barn any time.
Questions
What does it cost?
Subscriptions are not switched on yet, so it is free for now. Prices have not been announced.
Can my boarders log in?
Yes. Invite them by email, with a barn code or with a QR code. Boarders see their own horses, their bills and the bulletin board, and can ask for a visit. They do not see other boarders’ horses or your finances.
Do I need to install anything?
No. It runs in the browser on a phone, tablet or computer. If you like, you can add it to your phone’s home screen from the browser menu.
Is my data private?
Only people you invite can see your barn, and nobody sees another barn’s information. You choose, role by role, what people can open. Your records are stored in Google Cloud, and the owner can download a full backup at any time.
Can I try it first?
Yes. “Try the demo” opens a full sample barn with no sign-in. You can look around as an owner, manager, staff member or boarder. The demo is read-only, so nothing you click is saved. After you sign up you can also make a practice barn and keep it as your own.
How do I get my horses in?
Add them one at a time from the Horses tab, or paste or upload a spreadsheet to add many at once. Every row is checked first, so a bad row adds nothing. People and contacts can be brought in the same way.
What about my phone?
It is built to be used one-handed in the barn aisle, and the pages fit a phone screen. The same account works on every device.
Can I see the barn calendar on my phone?
Yes. Download the calendar as an .ics file and open it in the calendar app on your phone or computer. It holds the events and appointments you have on screen.
