About

BarnMate

BarnMate is the calm, beautiful planner for your horse — built for co-riders, half-board partners and owners who share the same barn life. — ONE SCHEDULE, EVERYONE IN SYNC — See today, this week or the whole month. Sessions, lessons, competitions, supplements, farrier visits, vaccines and care reminders. Everything is grouped by horse, by day, by rider. — EXERCISES & SESSION TEMPLATES — A library of 55 exercises sorted by type of work: setup, step-by-step, success criteria. Build your own session templates, apply one to a session and its plan shows up right there. Add your own exercises too. Informational content — no substitute for qualified instruction. — SHARE WITH YOUR CO-RIDER OR OWNER — Invite your half-board partner or owner with a single tap. They get free access to the shared group — no separate account, no separate payment. Anyone in the group can plan, log and see the same thing in real time. Several sharers around the same horse? That's covered: each one has their own sessions and their own permissions. — TRACK SUBSCRIPTIONS & BILLING — Riding lessons paid by the package? BarnMate keeps a clean ledger: deposits, lesson deductions, balance and renewal reminders. No more spreadsheets. — PASSPORT & PHOTOS — Store each horse's passport number, vaccine record and identification photos. Everything you need at the gate or at a vet visit. — SMART REMINDERS — Farrier, vaccines, worming, dentist, osteo: BarnMate works out the next due date and reminds you on the day. Farrier coming on the 23rd at 9 am? Set the appointment yourself and get a reminder the evening before — no more missed appointments. Several appointments per type of care, as a series if needed (every 6 weeks…). — PRIVACY-FIRST — Your data syncs through your own iCloud account. We do not run a server. We do not sell anything. Sponsored access for invited co-riders is free. — MADE FOR HORSE PEOPLE — A typography-led design that doesn't look like a spreadsheet. Quiet, focused, beautiful. —— PLUS TIERS —— Solo (1 horse) • Full schedule, supplements, care log, passport, statistics, notifications. • Exercise library and session templates Share / Half-board (multiple horses + sharing) • Everything in Solo • Invite a co-rider or owner — free for them • Multiple horses in the same group • Shared billing & care log Each tier is available Monthly, Yearly or Lifetime.
