Livery yard app — run your livery yard from your phone
A livery yard app puts every horse, every owner and every job in one shared place your whole yard can see — DIY, part and full livery alike. Here's what a good livery yard management app should do, and how Horsepower handles it — free for yards with up to three horses.
What a livery yard app should do
- Every livery, their own login — owners see their own horse's records, add rides and photos and read the notices, without you fielding a message for every question.
- Shared yard calendar — rides, lessons, turnout, vet and farrier rounds in one calendar the whole mixed-owner yard can see.
- Livery billing — track livery charges and one-off extras as they happen, then send them to your accounts as draft invoices. Horsepower drafts straight into Xero.
- Health & treatments — vet, farrier, dentist and physio history per horse with due-date reminders.
- Yard jobs & requests — recurring jobs with a done / not-done status, plus open requests anyone on the yard can pick up.
- Feeding & turnout — per-horse feed plans and a turnout board for weekend helpers.
Built for a mixed-owner yard
A livery yard isn't one owner's horses — it's a dozen owners who each want to see their own horse and trust the yard's on top of the rest. Owners, sharers, helpers and practitioners each get the right level of access; the yard manager sees everything; passport numbers and health records never leak to people who shouldn't see them.
Livery billing without the spreadsheet
Monthly livery plus the extras — the bag of shavings, catching the field, the worming dose — usually live in a notebook and turn into an awkward end-of-month reckoning. Horsepower logs each extra against the right person the moment it happens, keeps the recurring livery lines per owner, and drafts the lot into Xero as invoices in one click, with overdue ones nudging whoever owes them. If you're weighing a billing-first tool, our LIVERYLive comparison lays out where each leads.
How Horsepower approaches it
Horsepower is a livery yard app built for the way UK yards actually run — records, treatments and reminders, a shared calendar with recurring events and open requests, feed plans, paddock maps and turnout, GPS ride tracking, team messaging, custom forms, practitioner logins and Xero billing. Native iOS and Android apps, and the web works everywhere. It's free for yards with up to three horses, and liveries are always free — you only pay for the yard, never per owner.
Common questions
Is there a free livery yard app?
Horsepower is free for yards with up to three horses, and liveries (members) are always free — a small yard runs the whole thing at no cost, and bigger yards pay only for the yard on a monthly plan.
Does it handle DIY, part and full livery?
Yes — the access levels and per-horse records work the same whether an owner does everything themselves or you do it all for them.
