What is a livery yard?

A livery yard boards horses owned by clients — full livery (yard does everything), part livery (split duties), or DIY livery (owner does the work, yard provides the facility). Longrein supports all three with per-horse boarding plans.

Do horse owners need their own login?

Yes, and it's included free. Owners log into Longrein to see their horse's welfare record, photo gallery, pay monthly boarding, submit care requests for vet or farrier visits, and message the yard owner directly. Longrein is free for everyone during early access, owners included.

How are boarding fees handled?

Monthly recurring invoices via Stripe — SEPA Direct Debit, card, or local payment methods. Each horse has its own boarding plan with its own price. Set once, runs every month, owner pays automatically.

Livery Yard Management Software — Boarding, Owners, Welfare

Livery yard software your owners actually use

Monthly boarding billed automatically. Horse owners log into a clean portal to see welfare, photos, vet records, and pay invoices. Care requests come in through the inbox, not WhatsApp. Built for European yards with 10 to 60 horses on full, part, or DIY livery.

Completely free during early access. No card at signup. No trial clock. Nothing to cancel.

Built for boarding operations

A livery yard owner spends most of their week on three things — keeping horses well, keeping owners informed, and chasing the boarding fees. Longrein moves all three into one place so none of them falls through the cracks.

Monthly boarding

Per-horse boarding plan. Stripe runs the recurring invoice every month. SEPA, card, or local payment methods. No spreadsheet, no chasing.

Horse owner accounts

Each owner logs into their own portal. Sees their horse's welfare record, photos, vet log, balance, and upcoming invoices. No more emailed PDFs.

Care requests

Owner taps "request farrier visit" or "vet check needed". Lands in your inbox with full context — no buried WhatsApp messages, no missed asks.

Vet + farrier journal

Multi-party log via guest contributor links. Your vet logs the lameness check via a magic link, no account needed. Owner sees it instantly.

Welfare alerts

Idle for 14 days. Weight loss. Weather warning. Configurable per horse so you know when something needs attention.

Backup contact per horse

Who do you call if the owner is unreachable for a vet decision? Recorded once per horse, survives ownership changes.

Photo gallery per horse

Upload photos to each horse's record. Owners see progress over time. Doubles as marketing material for the yard.

Public stable page

longrein.eu/s/your-yard — branded with your colors, your horses, your boarding tiers. Send the link to anyone enquiring about a stable.

EU-hosted, GDPR-ready

Frankfurt-hosted Postgres, no third-country transfers. Data stays in the EU; you stay compliant without thinking about it.

The owner relationship, fixed

The hardest part of running a livery yard isn't the horses. It's the people who own the horses. Longrein gives each owner a clean window into their horse without giving them your phone number at midnight.

Owner opens app → sees their horse's current weight, last vet visit, last farrier visit, photo from yesterday.

Owner sees their invoice balance, can pay in two taps, no awkward conversations.

Owner needs vet booked? Taps care request, you accept or reschedule, they get notified.

Owner can leave a backup contact and instructions in case of emergency — recorded once, kept forever.

Yard owners who switch to Longrein typically tell us the same thing: the owners feel more in the loop, and they get half as many messages outside business hours.

Pricing

Everything, free — every feature, unlimited horse owners and horses. Free during early access, no card required.

Founding stables — yards that join during early access keep a permanent founder advantage when pricing starts later.

No per-horse fee. No per-owner fee. No add-ons.

Frequently asked

What about DIY livery owners who don't want a portal?

No problem. The owner account is optional — you can run a horse on Longrein without inviting the owner. Most yards invite ~80% of owners; the rest are handled the old way.

Can I send a yard newsletter through Longrein?

Not yet — newsletter is on the Sprint 5 roadmap. For now, the in-app chat broadcasts to multiple owners at once.

What about emergency situations?

Each horse has a backup contact (name + phone + relation). If the owner is unreachable, you've got a number on file. Survives ownership transfer.
