Created by dressage people for dressage people TestPro was inspired by watching competitors “drawing” in the air as they run through the test. You’re not just learning the test, you’re visualising your ride, a key technique in sport psychology to maximise performance. TestPro immerses you in the test, supporting your learning at every stage from your first run through, through visualising your ride to a final refresher just before you enter the arena: - Focus on learning specific movements or groups - Run through the whole test - See the shape and symmetry of the test - Close your eyes and listen to the movements read aloud - Sit back and watch all or part of the test played in sequence - Challenge yourself to complete the test - Do a 10 second tap-through just before you enter the arena - Put on headphones and practise the test on foot - Lock your device and ride with TestPro speaking - Develop your strategy for maximising marks REALLY knowing the test gives you the confidence to focus on your ride - and having a good time! ++ TestPro KNOWS the test ++ TestPro is totally interactive. Draw with your finger or tap on the screen, TestPro will guide you when you need it. You can stop and start, skip movements, go forward and backward through the test. Switch Play on and watch the test from any point. ++ Have TestPro SPEAK the test ++ With Speaking on TestPro reads the current movement aloud as it’s drawn. If you use the Play and Speak functions at the same time TestPro plays the test, speaking each movement aloud as it draws it. ++ All the tests are BUILT-IN, updates are FREE ++ Competing or training TestPro is always with you, up to date and accurate. All the tests are built-in, there is no need for a Wi-Fi or phone signal once you’ve downloaded the app, and when the built in tests change updates are free. ++ Your horse DESERVES it ++ You invest a lot in training your horse and getting to competitions, TestPro will help you ride accurately and maximise your marks.

Stable Manager allows you to add ‘users’ who can be members of your family, grooms or riders, governed by individual 'permissions', to control what they can edit and see. When a record is updated, that information is synchronised with the apps on ALL your devices and those of your users. The app is organised into a number of separate areas: HOME SCREEN Once you have entered information about your horses, the home screen comes to life. It displays a consolidated view of your Stables with 'badges' over the icons, to remind you of imminent actions you need to take. Larger stables can also access shared Ride Lists, Turnout Plans and Feed Lists from here. THE HORSE LIST This is the entry point to the home screen for each individual horse. You can re-order the list for a convenient view of which horses have the most imminent vaccines, farrier visits etc.. HORSE HOME Each horse has its own Home Screen. Within that screen you can view, add and edit information about that horse. At the top of each home screen there is a panel summarising key dates and membership information. ORGANISE YOUR VET AND PHYSIO RECORDS Keep vet and physio records for each horse. Attach photos, pdfs and videos to notes. The visibility of those records can be controlled depending on the user. THE STABLES SCREEN The Stables screen is where administrators and managers can control access and manage information about the Stables. They can invite users and set user permissions and notifications. This is also where you can set the number of days warning Stable Manger gives you when certain events are imminent or are indeed overdue. VISITS You can add and manage appointments here for professionals visiting your yard. Dates entered here will be tracked in the diary and you can set up reminders when visits are imminent. There are features to automatically update horse records following each visit to keep a history of the horse's treatment. THE DIARY The diary screen on the app, displays a month view containing icons showing events such as visits or shows you have entered in the app. You can enter notes for a particular day such as people's holidays, and there is also a feature to set up regular weekly or monthly job reminders. THE FEEDS SCREEN This is where you can generate feed charts or lists for your Stables. You can manage items in your feedroom and enter the meals and portions for each horse. LIVERIES AND TRANSFERS Stable Manager also supports features for placing a horse on livery, or permanently transferring it to other stables with its records using Stable Manager.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: TestPro Sampler at 78% against Stable Manager's 17%. TestPro Sampler also leads on ratings volume (5 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). Stable Manager's advantage is rating (4.0 vs 3.0) and update cadence (monthly vs every 9 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Stable Manager holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TestPro Sampler has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of TestPro Sampler's written reviews are positive against 17% of Stable Manager's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

TestPro Sampler ships an update every 9 months, Stable Manager monthly. Both last shipped on September 9, 2026.
