### "Fantastic for an educational environment!"

November 29, 2018

4.0

The staff was very helpful and easy to reach when we were working out our payment process (working for a state institution created a unique situation regarding invoicing). I was very happy with how they helped me.

Pros

I manage the equine program for a state university and am responsible for over 60 horses and a revolving door of student employees. SS is a lifesaver for keeping track of everyone in the herd and making sure no one gets forgotten! The email reminders are a fantastic tool to help me keep track with my busy schedule, and the software works wonderfully for collaboration between myself and my employees. The interface is also very user friendly. I was able to learn the program very quickly when I took over the program.

Cons

It would be REALLY nice if you could create an event such as farrier or vaccination, and add from the list of horses. It's somewhat time consuming to have to adjust each horse individually if you need to adjust the recurring time period or anything. Also, it's not really a big con for me, but if there was anything else I could suggest I would say the user interface could perhaps be a little more visually appealing - modern applications and programs are just so advanced these days that this program appears somewhat basic and bland at first impression in comparison.

### "Stable Secretary is invaluable "

September 19, 2025

5.0

Overall, Stable Secretary has been pretty invaluable, because it’s so easy to be able to pull up records in no time!

Pros

I love that I don’t have to manually count out when each horse is due next for shoeing, vaccinations, etc - it just calculates for me. Plus it’s easy to look up due dates. I can enter information while still in the barn, thanks to the app. It’s so handy to have every horse’s vet records at my fingertips when I need them.

Cons

There isn’t a lot that I don’t like. Occasionally the app crashes, and that can be annoying, but it hasn’t happened very often. I would like a little more flexibility to customize what reminders I can get each week/month via email, as well as more options for selecting how many weeks/months I want between vaccinations, etc

Hi Emilie, Thank you so much for leaving us a review. We really appreciate that! And we are so happy to hear that the Reminders are helping you. We love reminders and hope they carry the "remembering" stress for our subscribers! We appreciate your feedback, too, about being able to customize which reminders you get, as well as customizing the reminder for each vaccine. Right now, there is just one "default" time period for all vaccines. For that, we just go with the most general one, and then edit the next due date for the exceptions. We agree though that it would be cool to make a default next due date interval for EACH vaccine type. We love feedback and suggestions like this, so pls email support@stablesecretary.com if you have other suggestions! Thank you!

### "Picture "

March 22, 2019

3.0

I think it can be a great product but the price is too high. If the price was about half of regular price would be better.

Pros

I really like that it has a picture for each horse.

Cons

The picture doesn’t enlarge when you click on it anymore. Need a summer and winter pictures on the front page.

August 29, 2019

Hi Jim, Thank you very much for writing us a review! We do love feedback. UPDATE Aug 2019: we have added the ability to expand the horse photo. We will make it a priority to put back the ability to enlarge the horse photos. You can currently upload many pictures of the horse in the Uploads section online, and then access them (and enlarge) from the mobile app - in the Horse's Uploads tab. We do plan to implement the ability to have multiple horse profile pics at some point, that the user could easily scroll through to ID a horse, but I don't see that happening for another 6 months or so. Thank you again for reviewing our software! Kate support@stablesecretary.com PS. I wish we could give our sw away for free, but we are committed to continuing to develop it to be stronger and better for our users, and that costs money. We still put almost all of our revenue right back into our product to benefit our users!

### "Long-time user as a nonprofit that works with nearly 100 horses a year"

January 24, 2025

5.0

As a nonprofit that rehabilitates and rehomes retired racehorses, this program has become essential for us to keep track of who needs what new or repeated treatments and diagnostics when. It's so easy to see what vaccines or records are coming due without having to dig through folders. It's so much easier than handwritten records and so easy to upload records you do receive that are handwritten, like from a vet, for easy reference later.

Pros

Stable Secretary has streamlined our record keeping process and made it so easy, as an adoption related organization, to get records to adopters quickly and easily with all their questions answered in one neat file..

Cons

Just little things, would like to add a "free choice" amount to feeding options.

Hi Bonnie, Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review. We appreciate it! We are also so happy to hear that our app is making it easier and more efficient for you to keep track of all the health records for your stable - that is our goal and we are SO happy to hear that we are achieving it! Also, we LOVE the idea of adding a "free choice" amount to feeding options. I will ask the developers about incorporating that into our preset feed amounts. Thank you for the suggestion - we love feedback and suggestions. Thank you again!

### "Awesome Sauce! Stable Secretary is leaps and bounds above other herd management software"

December 17, 2024

5.0

I am SOOO glad we found Stable Secretary!! I actually look forward to updating our animal records now and unlike other system platforms we have historically used, Stable Secretary provides a user friendly interface to record, update and pull animal info as needed. THANK YOU!!!!

Pros

Ease of use and functionality of app. Pleasing to look at on desktop and the app, photo capabilities on animal profile for easing recognition in large herds, quick reference sheet on animals, ease of pulling and entering animal stats and the tags for searching/saving groups... literally sooo many pros

Cons

That I didn't find it sooner!! The only thing that this app doesn't do YET (hopeful thinking) is provide the ability to auto connect our animals thermo chip reader scans into their health records. That would be the cherry on the top for me!!

Reason for choosing Stable Secretary

functionality and ease of entering records,. Stable secretary was more pleasing to the eye and I liked how the first thing I saw was animal photos associated with the profiles and not just text

Hi Riana, Thank you for your detailed review. We really appreciate it! We are so happy to hear that StableSecretary is working really well for you. Once we get through a couple of the new features we are working on (option to let clients sign up for services on schedule; adding more breeding record tools) we will absolutely revisit the Competitions section to try to improve it for Dressage.

### "Long Term Customer!"

December 10, 2024

5.0

Customer service is wonderful and so helpful! Love the company and the product.

Pros

I recommend this to every, especially people with more than one horse. It makes a world of difference trying to keep track of multiple horses care and training. I also liked being able to upload related documents (coggins, vaccination records).

Cons

The jump in price between 3 horses ($2.32 per horse), 6 horses ($4.99 per horse), 15 horses ($2.66 per horse) and 30 horses ($1.67 per horse). Pro is $6.95 for 3 horses and $29.95 for 6 horses. It would be cheaper to just get 2 x 3 horse memberships. Then is only $10 more and you go from 6 horses to 15 horses. It just does not really make sense.

Reason for choosing Stable Secretary

For personal horse tracking I felt it was easy and cost effective. From a farm management perspective, it is not my choice. I think the app still needs to improve use for employees, assigned task lists, etc.

Hi Danielle, Thank you so much for leaving us a review. We appreciate it! And, thank you for recommending StableSecretary to others - word of mouth is super helpful! We will reevaluate the prices on our Professional product per your feedback - thank you for pointing out that it didn't make sense to you. Also, have you had a chance to look at the Checklist on the mobile app? It's new, we added it within the year, and it lets you make a checklist (new items or imported from schedule or another day's checklist) that all team members can see and can sort and check off items! That may be very useful for you in terms of farm management. Thank you again for the review!

December 13, 2024

So far it’s been great. I can track multiple horses at a multiple locations.

Pros

I like the different levels of service and the number of horses you can enter. Once I got use to the program is much easier to navigate.

Cons

Not really a way to link to your bank account that I have found without going to the most expensive level. Also, the mobile app is not as user friendly as I would have hoped.

### "The perfect digital working student for paperwork"

November 11, 2025

5.0

Has made it much easier to keep track of horse info and vet records and due dates, as well as keep everyone at my barn on the same page about needs and appointments.

Pros

I love that there is an app that has all the same features as online. We can uodaye horse info and their special needs like allergies and feed chart, make records for farrier and dentist so we can all remember when they are due, because it auotmatically puts reminders in the schedule calendar! There are several people in my barn who share the daily chores so being able to have team members and instant updates appear in the app, plus all the shareable reports and schedule makes it super easy to communicate and all see the same info. Their customer support is top notch plus they have great videos to help people navigate online and the app.

Cons

No push notifications for the mobile app but they say they are going to put them in. And I wish we could customize the order of items in the feedchart but that's not a big deal really.

Good experience easy to use, will keep using it.

Pros

Easy to use interface. Everything is easy to find.

Cons

That I couldn’t remove all my horses from 1 location to a different one without having to delete the location. We keep our horses in 4 different locations and the all move to one for winter. Also if a horse was do for ferrier and didn’t get done they should move to the next date any horses are due.

November 22, 2024

5.0

Excellent! It really helps me organize my management of each horse. I love I can look a horse up easily to check on a record.

Pros

I love that I can stay organized on each horse's health care, while the vet/farrier/body worker/dentist is at the barn, from my phone with an easy app! Really helps me stay on top of things!

Cons

I get logged out a lot on the phone app, and that's annoying. I wish I could just stay logged in all the time so it's easier !

Thank you so much for the review! We value user feedback and we work to make your suggestions & requests happen asap! We are sorry to hear that you get logged out of the app more than you would like. I suspect that process is for security, but I will check with our mobile team to see what we can do to improve that for you. Also, you can set up a biometrics login if that helps. With that, you can get logged in faster with a thumbprint. Anyway, I will check about the logout frequency, and will report back! Thank you again for taking the time to write a review and to provide feedback.

March 15, 2019

This software has made my record keeping and book keeping life so much easier. Everything is done in a few simple clicks. It is very clear in its design and because of that the functionality is far above any other stable management software out there. Our rep is also very timely and thoughtful in her responses, and takes new ideas into her redesigns. I cannot say enough good things about this software!

Pros

ease of use, constant upgrades, simple interface, literally has everything that is needed to completely keep track of an active AA show stable

the old platform always showed archived horses as active

### "Stable Secretary"

December 19, 2019

5.0

Having 45-70 horses on property can be confusing sometimes and I really appreciate having a system to help me stay on track with all of their schedules. The app they have in theory will be handy, but it is hard to navigate and look up individual records.

Pros

Stable Secretary can keep track of so many different aspects of managing a barn. It can track vaccinations, injections, feed, farrier work... The list goes on.

Cons

Until you get used to where all of the features are located, the layout of Stable Secretary can be confusing. In the beginning there is a lot of clicking around trying to find where all the features are.

Hi Hannah, Thank you so much for taking the time to review Stable Secretary! We are working on updating our user interface to address your comments (which match those of other users) - to make the navigation and layout of the online software easier to follow. What happened is that we have added a lot of features and functionality over the years, so we needed to do a big update to make the UI reflect all these new options for users! Look forward to a new User Interface for the online software in early 2020! Also, do you use our mobile app? I think that might be quite useful while you're out and about in the barn, just in terms of checking horse info and records. As always, please let us know if you have feedback or questions - we love to hear from users. Thank you again for reviewing our software! Kate support@stablesecretary.com

November 11, 2025

5.0

Using Stable Secretary has made managing my barn so much easier. When I first signed up, the customer support team helped me get set up quickly and answered all my questions with patience and clarity. Once I started using it, I was impressed by how intuitive and user-friendly it is — everything from tracking horse care to invoicing is simple and organized. It saves me so much time and is absolutely worth the cost for the convenience and peace of mind it provides. I am also so happy that there is an online and mobile version, so I can bring it with me into the stall if I need to make a quick note.

Pros

Stable Secretary has been a game-changer for managing my barn. It’s very user-friendly, making record-keeping and scheduling simple and organized. The customer service is excellent—always quick, friendly, and helpful. For the features and time it saves, it’s great value for money. Highly recommend!

Cons

I really like using Stable Secretary — it’s easy to navigate, keeps everything organized, and the customer service is always responsive and helpful. It’s definitely worth the money for how much time it saves. The only small downside is that a few features take an extra click or two to find, which can be a bit annoying when you’re in a hurry. Still, that’s a minor issue compared to how well the system works overall. I’d definitely recommend it to any barn looking to stay organized.

I can keep all my horses organized and remember due dates. I can also tailor the categories to my needs. The reminder tab is great because you can sort by horse or type .

Cons

App is not as user friendly as website, but its improving. Also had an issue with it taking out next due dates for coggins renewal after i edited the coggins.

### "StableSecretary is the heart of my process"

September 23, 2025

5.0

I recently started helping a barn with office administration. StableSecretary is at the heart of everything! There is an ecosystem around show horses ranging from what is happening at home at the barn, to horse show prep and travel, vet and farrier schedules, and customer service. For me, StableSecretary is at the center of this ecosystem, helping to connect all the dots and helping me be as efficient as possible.

Pros

It helps me be more organized with everything behind the scenes at the barn - ranging from tracking vaccine dates and service records / expenses to invoicing. I also use all the contact information and horse info to complete entries for shows.

Cons

I have not discovered any real cons yet! Like every system, I look for new ways to use it faster over time.

### "Record Keeping Made Easy"

November 12, 2025

5.0

The best! The staff is always easy to work with and the app gives me everything I need to help my horses (and myself!).

Pros

I love being able to keep track of all of my appointments and tasks, and creating reminders. With four horses, it's easy to get confused by who gets what, but I'm able to keep track of everything much easier with Stable Secretary!

Cons

Nothing, however I don't have a need for the tracking billable items, invoicing, payments, or team member features.

### "Stable Secretary is a must in any barn!"

February 6, 2025

5.0

We have been using SS over five years maybe longer and I am appreciative to all the growth and changes they continue to make. I have been through a ton of lesson software's and this one has always been my staple program for management.

Pros

The flexibility to cover all services in my barn and equine specific.

Cons

There isn't anything specific about SS I don't love. If anything, I would love more training on tips and tools I don't use and could be using. I do wish account balances and invoices posted to the clients login.

We have been using Stable Secretary since 2013 and love how it continues to grow with changing needs of users. We recommend it to all our fellow trainers.

Pros

I like having the reminders in an email. The ongoing updates. The new social media has been great.

Cons

I miss the reminders on the side of the home screen. Trying to keep up with new updated screens. It has its pros and cons.

Hi Tina, Thank you for your review. We are so happy that you like the reminders email and that you overall like the ongoing updates! Please reach out to us at support@stablesecretary.com or 617.564.1241 if you ever need guidance on any updates - we are here to help, and we want our software to always be helping, not confusing. Your feedback helps us to achieve that goal. Also, the Reminders are still on the home page, just in the Reminders section. You click on the word Reminders to open that section to see them. We recently added a bell-icon link to the top navigation so you can get to them even faster. I hope that helps. Thank you for recommending it to your fellow trainers.

### "Stable secretary has changed our lives!"

January 30, 2025

5.0

Stable secretary has streamlined so many aspects of our documentation of our equine herd. We used to have everything on paper documents and there is no need for that anymore. We are able to have email prompts sent out to our assigned veterinarians for upcoming treatments and farrier appointments as well as so many individual details pertaining to each individual horse all in one place. I would highly recommend to anyone who want to have a seamless approach to organizing their herds.

Pros

Stable secretary has all of our Equine herd in one place and lets us request movement for the horses and keeps track of all of their veterinary needs, treatments and farrier appointments.

Cons

I haven't found anything that I dislike about stable secretary to date, and i have been using the program for a few months now.

### "Long time user recommends"

December 10, 2024

Our hunter/jumper barn (33) horses uses mostly the financial capabilities including recording all services, invoices, payments and reporting in all of these. We’ve used Stable Secretary for several years.

Pros

Customer Support! Willingness to take enhancement requests seriously.

Cons

There have been some missing pieces for the Financial sections but these have been mostly resolved through software updates.
