Aurestra
Read full descriptionHide full description
Aurestra is one connected place for the people and work around every horse. Use it independently for the records, care, schedules and day-to-day details you manage, or connect with owners, boarders, stable teams and equine professionals when it helps. Whether you own, ride, board or part board a horse, manage a stable, coach, train or provide equine services, Aurestra gives you practical tools for your role without requiring everyone around the horse to use it. KEEP THE WHOLE PICTURE AROUND EACH HORSE Keep horse profiles, records, care notes, health and emergency details, documents, photos, ownership, board and part board information together. Add feed, turnout and medication details, create tasks and reminders, and keep recurring care and activity easier to follow. Upload a medication label photo and let Aurestra suggest details for you to review, adjust and save. WORK ON YOUR OWN OR CONNECT WITH OTHERS Start with the work you manage yourself. Invite the people you already work with when it makes sense, with access based on each person’s relationship and permissions. Use shared records, schedules, announcements and notifications to keep the right people informed. Find public stables and equine professionals when you need a new connection. KEEP PLANS IN ONE PLACE Bring lessons, appointments, care tasks, facility bookings and other horse-related activity into one calendar. Switch between calendar and agenda views, manage recurring plans and see what is coming up without piecing it together from messages. MAKE APPOINTMENTS MORE USEFUL Equine professionals can manage clients, horses, appointments, services and notes in one business view, even when their work takes them across different barns. Add photos, markup and notes to an appointment record so clients can clearly see what was found and what was done. Keep the record private, share it with clients in Aurestra, or send a polished PDF to clients outside Aurestra. Schedule follow-up without starting over. RUN YOUR STABLE OR EQUINE BUSINESS Manage boarding, part board, horses, facilities, daily care, clients, services and lessons. With the Import stable data beta, use photos of existing whiteboards or paper records to bring horse lists, stabling, feed, supplements, medication, turnout and care notes into Aurestra. Review extracted details before saving, and upload another photo when those records change. Create and edit stable details directly. Control availability, booking length, capacity, permissions and unavailable times for arenas, rings and other facilities. TRACK EXPENSES AND KEEP BILLING CONNECTED Add expenses from a receipt photo, PDF or manual entry. Review and edit suggested receipt details before saving, keep personal and business expenses separate, and allocate costs to horses or clients. Use search, filters and simple reports to understand where money is going, or export a CSV when you need the details elsewhere. With Aurestra Pro, prepare and send invoices for board, lessons, appointments and other professional services. Track payments, deposits, credits, refunds, adjustments and balances, with automatic reminders to support follow-up. Where supported, businesses can offer secure online invoice payments through Stripe. Clients can also pay through a public invoice link without creating an Aurestra account. Aurestra Pro businesses can connect Xero or QuickBooks Online to send eligible paid expenses, issued invoices and recorded payments, with visible sync status and retry controls. BUILT FOR HORSE LIFE IN MORE PLACES Use your local currency, with address and phone formats that fit where you live and work. Aurestra Free has no trial or time limit. It includes unlimited horses and core records, care, scheduling, relationship, stable, professional and expense tools. Aurestra Pro adds business billing, accounting connections and expanded storage.
