Boarding, extras and lessons: one bill per month
Boarding contracts, extras from your phone, lessons with 10-cards, a feed list and a turnout journal: a web app for livery yards and riding schools in Switzerland.
For now, it is an idea.
The problem
In a small livery yard the contract sits in a folder, the extras on a slip by the stable door, the lessons in a diary and the turnout list on the wall. When the bills are due at the end of the month, someone puts it all together by hand: boarding in advance, the rug a helper changed, the farrier, the lessons.
Our approach
We are building a web app that mirrors exactly that: places and boarding contracts, extras, lessons and one monthly bill per client. It will work in CHF, create QR-bills and run in German, French, Italian and English. Your data will be stored on infrastructure in Switzerland. Simple on purpose, so the time stays with the horses.
Who it is for
For livery yards, riding schools and farms with a boarding branch in Switzerland, from a family-run yard to a stable with several instructors.
What is planned
Places and boarding contracts
You will record boxes, run boxes, group and pasture places with a list price and set up a contract per horse: place, monthly amount, start and end, plus the signed agreement as a PDF. The app will show which places are free and when one becomes free.
Extras recorded with one tap on your phone
Rug change, holding for the farrier, clipping: you will keep a price list of your extras, and whoever is in the yard will record one with a tap at the horse. Entries will wait for the next bill and appear there with the horse and the date.
One monthly bill with a QR-bill
For each client the app will prepare a monthly bill: boarding in advance, recurring extras, one-off extras and lessons so far. You check it, change a line if needed and send it yourself. The payment part with the Swiss QR code is included.
Lessons, 10-cards and regular riders
You will schedule group, private and lunge lessons as a weekly series, with instructor, arena and capacity. The app will keep regular riders, 10-cards with the remaining balance and who attended, and put lessons on the monthly bill if you wish.
Feed list and turnout journal
The feed list will show every horse in the yard with its place and feed note on one page, printable for the feed room. You will keep the turnout journal per group with one tap and print it as a PDF for an inspection.
Enquiries and bookings without an account
On your public page, interested people will request a trial lesson or a boarding place. Clients will book lessons, see their bills and pay by QR-bill, TWINT or cash without creating an account, using a link or a code.
Your data in Riding stable
The same commitments apply to every app that grows out of our ideas.
Data in Switzerland
Our apps store your data on infrastructure in Switzerland. Where exactly is stated on one page – not spread across several documents.
Your data is not for sale
We do not sell, rent or pass on your data. We earn from the app, not from what you entrust to it.
No AI training on your data
Your data is not used to train AI models. Not ours, and not anyone else’s.
Swiss data-protection law as the standard
We design to the Swiss Data Protection Act and build privacy in from the start – not as an adjustment at the end.
Frequently asked questions
Is your question not answered here? Write to us – we read every message.
ContactWhere will my stable’s data be stored?
The app will store contracts, horses, bills and lessons on infrastructure in Switzerland. Sending e-mails and taking online payments will need service providers; we will name them before launch. This website itself runs on Infomaniak in Switzerland; the details are in the privacy policy.
Will my clients’ data be sold or used to train AI?
No. We do not sell, rent or pass on data, and we do not use it to train AI models. Your stable’s public page will run without advertising and without tracking.
What data will the app keep about child riders?
For a rider, including a child, the app will keep only a name and, if you wish, a year of birth. The person is held under a parent as the client, who also receives the bill. There will be no field for a rider’s health details. We build to the DSG; how your stable handles data is your decision.
Will the app send bills by itself?
No. The app will prepare the bills at the end of the month and remind you, but only what a person explicitly releases is sent. Every line stays checkable before it reaches a client.
Does it suit me if I only offer boarding or only lessons?
Yes. Lessons can be switched off, so a pure livery yard sees only contracts, extras and bills. If you mostly teach, you can use lessons and cards and leave boarding empty.
When will the app be available?
There is no date yet. We are working on this idea, and we will tell you once at launch if you wish. How many people are waiting for an idea helps us decide the order in which we build.
What will it cost?
The price is not set yet. It will be shown in CHF and be clear enough for a small stable to decide without long deliberation. We will name a figure only when it is right.
Does signing up commit me to anything?
No, signing up is non-binding. You receive a single message once this idea becomes an app, and nothing else. We use your e-mail address only for that; what we store is described in the privacy policy.
