Great app
I use stable secretary and it is an awesome app it makes my life so much easier, I can track my horses food and how much hay to feed him also I ran into the owner and she is also very helpful and nice I highly recommend that you use stable secretary
Stopped working
For the first couple months it was great and I had all my info on there but for the last week i haven’t been able to open the app. I have lost all records that I made for those last months. Very frustrating and disappointing. Hopefully they will fix it soon.

Great App. Struggling to add Photos!
I just wanted to take a moment and say Thank You for development of such a quality product. The ever expanding data points are truly on point for our Thoroughbred operations and I look forward to many years ahead using the app and web versions. While the web version is a breeze to add photos, the app not so much. At this point the only complaint I have is the ability to quickly open the app during a Vet visit and take a picture of an x-ray or wound and upload it immediately. We don’t always have our iPads stall side, but inevitably there is a phone handy. While we can navigate to the website, I feel it would be much easier to open app icon click horse and upload or even take photo in the app under the designated horse. I apologize if I am understating the ease or missing the proper steps to complete this task, but I have tried 3 ways to Sunday with no luck. Anyway, keep up the great work and I look forward to future updates!!!

Game changer
Love this app! It is so easy to use and keep track of everything with very little glitches or issues! Useful in a small barn but a must in a big facility!
The best in the business.
This software has allowed our staff to save tons of time in the office. No more crusty binders full of notes, no more white board dates and “hope we remember” reminder texts about farrier, vet, and chiro appointments. Billing is a BREEZE with the professional plan, and the customer service is out of this world. Whenever a suggestion is made, the team at Stable Secretary works diligently to implement that into their next round of updates.
We’ve been using this app for a few years, and it just keeps getting better.

I REALLY want to like it, but needs some work
As a person who manages a large breeding and training farm I have hopes that this app will be a god send.... and it is on that brink...however it needs some work. The mobile version is far to limited and doesn’t show me the same information that the web version does. For example if I enter in a milk test recons, in the app it doesn’t show the same format (ph, calcium, type, etc.) that it does online. I also cannot add a new milk or other breeding related record with my phone, which with today’s technology age is crucial.
I also wish there was a way to set a default setting on each horse to be able to see all of the medical history without have to keep hitting the (next month) button. Some of my horses have been with me for years and this is incredibly time consuming to do. I just wish there was a button to “view all”.
I also would love an option to customize the reminders that show on the horses main page. Most of us plan our spring vaccinations months in advance. Also with traveling and competing around the country it would be helpful to be able to have the Reminders show up to 12 months out. This gives us time to see them daily and plan ahead accordingly.
Like I said I have looked at other apps for this and this one is the most promising, I just wish it had these few tweaks to truly make it the most efficient equine management app on that market!

Has potential but not optimised
Is well set up and detailed but hard to use effectively adding option feed doesn’t work on the app or the website. app only has options for America so no changing to other time regions or to Celsius. Hopefully improves as it would be very useful keeping track of a large amount of horses needs on a property.

So Happy! SO ORGANIZED!
The latest updates have been phenomenal! KEEP THEM COMING! (Please!)
I am a farm owner, and Hunter/Jumper professional. I have been using Stable Secretary for about 3 years now to manage my horses and farm. I think I can speak for quiet a few S.S. users when I say equestrian professionals don’t spend their days sitting behind a desk (and don’t really enjoy when we have to). Especially in our world today, thank you smartphones for enabling us in avoiding desk work by making pretty much everything available at our finger tips. Including answering emails and sending texts, placing orders, scheduling ..scrolling through social media.. all while sitting in the comfort of our saddle while we walk around cooling down a horse (we’ve all done it!) Being able to access more features and be able to do more through the S.S. app on my phone has made life so much easier!
For example! Email notification from vet with attachment (updated coggins). Save document to my phone. Print from my phone from my physical record. Then upload to Stable Secretary for my virtual records and safe keepings!
Thank you Stable Secretary. Keep up the good work.

Response from developer
Hi, and thank you for the review! We agree that nowadays, most horse-people prefer to do EVERYTHING from the mobile app, and our focus is on getting the mobile app as complete as the online software quickly! (I personally like to enter a Ride or a Lesson immediately after doing it - cooling down is a great opportunity for that!) We plan to keep adding features to the mobile app so that it's just as useful as the online software. We will keep the updates coming! Please let us know what you want/need at support@stablesecretary.com - we love suggestions from users. Thanks again for writing a review!
Poor communication
Doesn’t come right out and say we want you to sign up and we’re charging you after a 30 day trial. I wasted my time getting this app. Come right out and say we charge for this app or we charge a subscription fee to use this app. Deleting app now!
Response from developer
Hi, I'm sorry that you felt misled. We will examine our communication to make sure that users know that our 30 Day Free Trial expires after 30 days, and that one must subscribe to continue to use the app after that. Thank you for your feedback.
