Invest in rHerd
Let’s start a conversation.
rHerd is building clearer, calmer operations for barns — and we’re looking to connect with angel investors and advisors who understand the horse industry from the inside.
We’re early, intentional, and building alongside real barns. If you’ve ever felt the friction of barn communication — or wondered why such a relationship driven industry doesn’t have the right tools — we’d love to talk.
We’re building calmer barns — together.
rHerd was born out of lived frustration and deep care.
In training, boarding, and lesson barns across the nation, people who love horses are doing complex, physical, emotionally demanding work — often without systems that truly support them. Communication breaks down. Visibility is fragmented. Burnout creeps in. And the horses feel it first.
Most barns are held together by a patchwork of texts, whiteboards, paper logs, and memory.
Everyone is doing their best — but the system isn’t designed to support how this work actually happens.
The result:
Missed or repeated tasks
Gaps in visibility across roles
Frustration for staff and managers
Unnecessary risk for horses
We believe barns deserve better tools — not louder ones.
rHerd brings clarity, continuity, and coordination to the entire barn community, strengthening the relationships that make good care possible.
What We’re Building.
rHerd is a human-centered communication platform designed specifically for boarding, training, and lesson barns.r
