Frequently Asked Questions
About rHerd
What is rHerd?
rHerd is a barn operating platform built for the realities of horse life. We’re rethinking how barns run — from feed charts and chore lists to board billing and horse care records — all in one easy-to-use mobile workspace.
Unlike traditional “management software,” rHerd is designed to be the place you actually do your work, not just record it afterward.
Who is rHerd for?
rHerd is built for barn owners, trainers, and horse owners who want to simplify communication, organize care routines, and keep their entire barn running smoothly — whether you manage 5 horses or 50.
We support all types of barns, including:
Boarding barns
Lesson and training facilities
Breeding programs
Therapy and nonprofit barns
Private horse owners who want better organization
What makes rHerd different from other horse barn management software?
Most systems focus on record-keeping. rHerd focuses on operations.
We’re building rHerd as the first barn operating platform — that means you can manage daily chores, feeding, turnout, scheduling, and communication in real time, from your phone.
We’re building alongside real barn managers and horse owners, so every feature solves an actual pain point in the barn — not just a checkbox in a software menu.
Support & Community
Where is rHerd based?
rHerd is built in Minnesota — with heart, hay, and a whole lot of late nights.
We’re proud to work with barns and riders across the U.S. and Canada, including Minnesota, Texas, Ontario, and Florida.
How can I get involved?
We’re always looking for early adopters, testers, and barn partners who want to help shape the platform.
If you’re a barn manager, trainer, or equine professional who’d like to be part of our early community, join the waitlist and tell us a bit about your barn.
