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.
