Features
Everything your barn runs on.
Here's all of it, by area. When you set up, pick what you'll use, and the rest stays out of the way until you want it.
Planning the day
Tomorrow, planned before evening feed.
-
One schedule
Rides, lessons, vet and farrier visits by day, week or month, in your barn's own list of activities. Done and In Progress come from the clock.
-
Plan Tomorrow Pro and up
One horse at a time, offering only the times that work for the horse, its rider and you. Send the whole day at once. Plan Today handles the morning of.
-
Chores that come with the work
The vibration plate before every ride, ice boots after, the walker on days off: tasks that come back on their own. Set it once and it's there every time.
-
Repeats that fit a barn
Every other day, every 6 weeks, the 3rd Tuesday of the month. Change or cancel just one day, or stop it from here.
-
Running late
Pick 15 minutes, push back the rest of the morning's rides, and tell only the people it affects.
-
Just say it
Type or dictate "Vet for Spirit tomorrow at 3 with Dr. Jones" and the form fills itself in. "The farrier got pushed to 3:30" changes what's booked.
-
Turnout at a glance
Up to 10 color-coded sets with their paddocks, horses and who takes them out, plus your paddock map. Rain? Cancel turnout and tell everyone in one step.
-
Who rides, who teaches
Your riders, owners who ride, outside trainers and clinicians. The times offered skip anyone who's already booked or away.
-
In your own calendar
Your HalterLink schedule shows up in Google Calendar, Apple Calendar or Outlook, next to everything else.

Night check at the show
One person every night, or the show team takes turns, with a reminder for whoever's on.
Month-end
Bill in minutes, not an evening.
HalterLink isn't billing software. It tells you what each horse got, so billing in your own software is quick.

Search everything
Horses, people, pages and settings, care, feed and help. "Bute" finds every horse on it.
Everywhere
In the aisle, the office or the back paddock.
-
iPhone, Android and web
One account everywhere. On a computer, a menu down the side and room to plan the week.
-
Works with no signal
Pages you've opened show what was last saved. Reports and notes send once you're back in range.

Five languages
English, Spanish, Dutch, German and French. Notes and messages show in each reader's language, with the original a tap away.
-
All your barns
Ride or groom for two trainers? See your own day at every barn, with clashes in red.
-
Private by design
Each barn is walled off from every other. Our support team only sees your barn when you share it, and never your messages.
-
Help when you need it
Help articles for every role, a guided tour, and a real person to write to from the app.
Who it's for
One barn. Everyone on the same page.
From a trainer on their own to a show barn with a full staff. Each person opens the app to what matters to them.
-
Trainers
Program owners and head trainers
See the whole program. Plan tomorrow, answer owners' questions, hear what the team adds, and know the day is covered before you leave the barn.
-
Barn managers
The person keeping it all running
Run the schedule, the feed chart and the team's tasks. Answer questions and handle the running-late mornings.
-
Grooms & staff
Grooms, riders, working students
Open the app to today's list, only for the horses they work with. One tap marks a task done, and a report with a photo goes straight to the trainer.
-
Horse owners
Owners and clients
Follow their horse's day, care and feed. See ride times, ask questions and message the team.
Only the barn or trainer pays. Horse owners join free and never count toward your plan.
Getting started
Set up in a few minutes.
A guided setup walks you through it. Skip anything and come back later.
-
1
Create your program
Name, discipline and time zone. Pick what you'll use HalterLink for, and everything else stays out of the way.
-
2
Add your horses
A name is enough to start, or bring them in from a spreadsheet. Photos, feed and care records can come later.
-
3
Invite your people
Send each person a personal invite by text or email from your own phone. They arrive with the right access already set.
Do I have to use all of this?
No. When you set up, pick what you'll use HalterLink for: scheduling, horse records, tasks, feed, your team, owners, shows. Everything else stays hidden until you turn it on in Account & Program.
Does it work in Spanish?
Yes. HalterLink works in English, Spanish, Dutch, German and French, and each person picks their own. Notes and messages show in the reader's language, so a groom who reads Spanish and an owner who reads English can follow the same horse.
Does it work at horse shows?
Yes. On Pro and Max, each show gets its own classes, rings, riders, grooms, packing list and tasks, separate from the home barn's day. When a class time changes, the rider, groom and owner are told.
Can I take a break for the winter?
Yes. Instead of cancelling, freeze your barn in Plans & Billing. Billing stops and everything is kept, read-only, for up to 12 months. Unfreeze it and you pick up where you left off.
Do I get anything for telling another barn?
Yes: give a month, get a month. Find your code in the app under More, then Refer a Barn, and share it. A barn that signs up with it gets its first paid month free, and you get a month free once it starts paying, up to 12 free months a year. How referrals work.
Can I bring my records over?
Yes. On a computer, download our spreadsheet template, fill in your horses, owners, feed, contacts, reminders and routines, and upload it. HalterLink shows what it will add before anything is saved. On the Custom Unlimited plan, we'll do it with you.
Can HalterLink see my barn's information?
Not unless you share it. If you need help, you can let our support team see your horses, schedule and tasks for 7 days and fix what you ask. Every look and every change is logged, and messages are never visible to us.
Less time keeping track.
More time with the horses.
Set up your program in a few minutes, and try any plan free for 30 days.
