BUILT FOR THE REALITIES OF BARN LIFE

Where Barn Work Meets

Real Support

rHerd is the mobile-first barn management platform built for the way horse people actually work — muddy boots, full hands, long days, and no time for after-the-fact data entry. Because barns deserve tools that move at the speed of barn life.

Who We Built rHerd For

Barn Staff

Barn Owners, Managers, Staff and Volunteers

The Hands, Hearts, and Hustle Keeping the Barn Running

  • Barn teams carry the daily load through memory, handwritten notes, and text threads that never stop.
    When care updates, staff assignments, safety alerts, and billing live in different places, mistakes happen — and those mistakes cost time, energy, money, and trust.

    The real cost?

    • Hours lost to after-the-fact paperwork

    • Missed or forgotten billable services

    • Miscommunications that strain relationships

    • Inconsistent care across staff

    • Constant pressure on the same overextended people

    Barn work doesn’t need to be harder than it already is — but right now, the tools make it that way.

  • A mobile-first system designed for chaotic, physical, constantly-moving work.

    What it gives your team:

    • Real-time care tracking so nothing gets lost

    • Staff assignments + checklists for safer, consistent care

    • Instant barn-wide announcements (weather, emergencies, facility changes)

    • Digital billing that captures services as they happen

    • A shared horse profile that centralizes updates, notes, photos, and alerts

    Less juggling. More clarity.
    Less burnout. More sustainable barn life.

Trainers

Trainers, Coaches, and Instructors

The Eyes and Hands Developing Each Horse’s Potential

  • Trainers are expected to stay aligned with both the barn and the owner, but the information doesn’t flow between those worlds.

    That leads to:

    • Barn changes trainers never hear about

    • Owners messaging separately, expecting trainers to translate

    • Training notes buried in texts

    • Lesson scheduling that doesn’t sync with barn calendars

    • Late or inconsistent client payments

    • Feeling like the “middle person” in every conversation

    It’s exhausting, inefficient, and leaves trainers out of the loop.

  • The rHerd trainer version brings all communication and scheduling into the same place:

    • Full visibility into the horse profile (care notes, updates, alerts)

    • Lesson scheduling synced with the barn’s calendar

    • Unified messaging with owners + staff

    • Simple invoices + instant payments

    • Progress notes and media stored in one shared location

    Less chaos. More consistency.
    Training that actually aligns with the horse’s care team.

Equine Professionals

Vets, Farriers, Dentists, Chiropractors, and Bodyworkers

The Specialists Safeguarding Every Horse’s Well-Being

  • Vets and farriers are expected to keep up with dozens of horses across multiple barns — often with missing histories, unclear notes, and communication scattered between staff and owners.

    That means:

    • Time lost hunting down horse histories

    • Multiple people texting from the same barn

    • Scheduling gaps and crossed wires

    • Repeating the same questions appointment after appointment

    • Invoicing and payment delays

    • Working without a complete picture of the horse

    Equine pros don’t lack clients — they lack visibility.

  • The standalone rHerd professional version will empower vets, farriers, and specialists with:

    • Full, always-updated horse profiles

    • Service history and notes all in one place

    • Access to barn calendars for scheduling

    • Centralized messaging (no more guessing who to contact)

    • Immediate invoicing + payment capture

    • Shared communication that keeps everyone aligned

    Better information → better decisions → better care.

A shared Barn Experience

Each position at the barn faces different pressures — but they share the same goal: clear communication, consistent care, and a barn that runs smoothly.

That’s rHerd: a shared language for the entire barn ecosystem, reinforcing relationships with tools that move with you, wherever barn life takes you.

Built by Barn People, Tech People, and People Who Just Really Care About Getting This Right.

Before writing a single line of code, we asked real barns what they needed — and over 100 owners, managers, trainers, and horse owners showed up to tell us where things break down and what better care could look like.

That survey shaped rHerd’s foundation — and we’re still building this platform the same way: with real conversations, real barn workflows, and real feedback.

We’re now in active testing across Minnesota and onboarding our first pilot barns this year.

Want to be a founding barn?

We're onboarding a small group of founding barns this year — real operations who want a better way to run their barn and are willing to tell us when something isn't working. Founding barns get preferential pricing that stays with them as we grow.
