Horsepower vs Yardman

Yardman has been the invoicing backbone for racing stables, stud farms and livery yards for years — detailed horse profiles with pedigree, full medical histories, training and work records, cost breakdowns, and an optional Timeform race-data module. Its speciality is horses owned in partnerships and getting the billing split right. Horsepower is aimed at the everyday running of a yard instead — treatments with due-date reminders, the shared calendar, feeds, paddocks & turnout, riders, messaging, forms and practitioners — with native iOS and Android apps and a free tier for yards with up to three horses.
