BarnManager Saves Lives
Kommentare: The product is excellent and the support is top notch. User friendly, easy to implement and maintain.
Vorteile:
This is an easy and intuitive software product. It was easily implemented, volunteers quickly trained, and the on-going use is simple. It provides all necessary information at the hands of every volunteer who needs it from care techs to evaluators to the adoption coordinator to our founder.
Nachteile:
The only draw back, but I understand is in the works, is to easily download and generate reports. Data is often needed for grant writing and the details are easily accessible but a report has to be had designed. Downloading the data would be much easier and less time consuming.
I used Barn Manager when I worked for a show jumping stable (approximatley 25 horses).
Vorteile:
The biggest benefit to this software is the cloud-based storage of information. I think one of the major limitations of stable management to date is the lack of organization and communication between different members of the staff and stable partners (veterinarians, therapists, etc). A cloud-based management system fills this significant management gap by keeping the entire stable team connected with real-time information regarding each horse. I think the possibility of `data-mining this information in the future has exciting implications for optimizing revenue, removing cumbersome practices within the stable, and better understanding healthcare practices.
Nachteile:
The major limitation is the unintuitive nature of some features. In the equestrian community, individuals who have very limited time perform much of the day-to-day management. Thus, anything they perform must be very user-friendly and efficient. I know some stables have tablets for staff, but ideally, most staff would prefer to work off smartphones, so an easy to use smartphone app is needed. Further, a better way to sort through horses is needed. For example, one groom may only need data on a few horses, instead of having to scroll through data on many horses. Also, I find the program can be cumbersome. It is unclear what information is vital to have versus nice to have. A way for individual stables to highlight key information may make the staff's job either. Another nice feature to have would be to work with some big feed company to include information about their diets, such that for the feed tab staff can simply select feeds from a drop-down menu.

BarnManager is our one-stop organization center for our horse boarding business.
Kommentare: We love BarnManager and have found it to be the best fit for our needs at our retirement boarding facility!
Vorteile:
We use BarnManager to keep farrier records, vet visit and vaccination record, as well as client information and contracts. This enables our staff to quickly search for last farrier dates, past records, and more. We also use the conversations feature to communicate messages and photos with clients, and have found this a nice way for staff and clients to keep in touch without having to search for cell phone numbers. Customer service is amazing; any time we have a question they are quick to answer in the chat feature and we are so thankful for amazing attentive service.
Nachteile:
We have not been able to use the calendar and feed feature as much as we envisioned as these are rapidly changing day by day on our busy ranch, and we are not sure if it integrates with our preexisting calendar apps we use on our phones. We probably could use a refresher course on new features to be honest! We also have not been using the integration with Quickbooks as we have an accountant who helps us with that already, but see the integration as a valuable feature and we would totally use it if we did not already have an accountant.
Best Barn Management software out there
Kommentare: Absolutely the best. I will never change and will always sing it’s praises!
Vorteile:
I have used a bunch of different softwares. BarnManager is the best and saves me so much time and frustration. Support for the product is the best I’ve EVER SEEN… across all platforms and industries.
Nachteile:
Nothing. Keep being awesome! Best customer support and product development ever.
Great product for horse rescues
Kommentare: Saves time over paper records for horses
Vorteile:
Multiple horse records can be updated with a single document. Customer service is great with changes requested prioritized and implemented timely
Nachteile:
Needs a good ad-hoc reporting capability, understand it is in the works.
An Excellent Management Tool
Kommentare: Great for keeping track of the many horsekeeping details, especially boarding barns.
Vorteile:
Superbly organized, thorough, easy to use.
Nachteile:
User Interface could use more pronounced graphics.
We use Barn Manager to manage a high performance dressage sport horse facility.
Kommentare: Organizing records
Vorteile:
I like the ability to store farrier appointments, vaccines, and vet records (with the attached PDF files). It makes it incredibly easy when clients ask "when was the last time my horse was shockwaved" to look it up online instead of flipping through our paper calendar.
Nachteile:
I LOVED the older version of the website- to be honest I have the old platform open in my browser right now. The new website makes it harder for me to use the website for what we bought it for- keeping those vet, farrier, vaccination, etc appointments organized. Not all of our files were transferred over from the old platform onto the new, so the new platform has little to no use to us. I love the idea of the whiteboard and the communication aspects, but it's easier for us to communicate via text instead of using an app platform that I don't want all of our employees to have access to. The old platform was wonderful and easy to navigate, and I have a much harder time entering information or accessing files on the new platform.

Hi Lauren, Thank you for your review! We are working diligently to make the new platform something that our longtime customers are able to fall in love with. The calendar section and appointment scheduling is a huge part of the platform and something that we are definitely using customer feedback to tweak in future updates. While we have multiple user roles and permissions for each role in the platform now we are also working on further expanding those so you can tweak exactly who has access to what information. We appreciate the feedback, it is the most helpful way for us to make a platform that you will love!
I love that Barn Manager is bringing tech into the barn.
Kommentare: I love that Barn Manager was created and is run by a rider. That said, they are accessible and open to constructive suggestions on how to constantly improve their product. They are not just a company trying to make money, but are fully invested in providing a product to improve the efficacy of the people that create the horse world that Barn Manager knows and loves on a personal level. I one hundred percent support them.
Vorteile:
Provided that you have employees who are consistent in using the software, it's so helpful to have all the information in one place. With employee turnover, and simply all the different persons who are required to keep the barn running, its key to have a reference. If you can reference horse history for your farrier/vet/owners etc, this is not only saving time but increasing knowledge and overall awareness for the wellbeing of your animals as well as your organization.
Nachteile:
I have heard often that people, and myself included, weren't taking the time to update information and files, given the chaotic and physical demands of the job. Few barns have a designated office person sitting at a desk all day. The new mobile app is making this more accessible!!

Thanks for your review Elizabeth! We especially love to hear that you found our team accessible and positive to work with. This is one of our main goals as a company, and our customers are like partners to us. We are heavily invested in the mobile app and trying to make BarnManager integration into our customer's routine as seamless as possible and we love to hear feedback!
Organizing made easy!
Kommentare: Easy organization at your fingertips!
Vorteile:
I help get our riding barn to select this software. It helps our secretary at the barn list all of the competitions and keeps them on alert. She puts in all of the riders and the times they are scheduled to have a riding lesson and with which instructor. The horses they are to ride is listed as well and a print out is posted weekly for all of us to see. We have it set up to know which horses have vet visits and which horses need certain extra care during those vet visits. The finances are put in and the accounting dept still is able to pay bills and see what is due. So far we have been using it about 3 months and have multiple users on it but have found it to be a lot less work than writing on a whiteboard and hanging in the barn.
Nachteile:
I haven't found anything that I don't like about it.
I have had a great experience with this software
Kommentare: It helps me be organized in a barn of 40+ horses
Vorteile:
I love being able to keep track of all the horses. The archives are great for horses that go out on lease. I still have all their information but don't have to have them in the day to day records.
Nachteile:
The new software still has some kinks and I am still learning how it works. As of now horses are not in alphabetical order. I would like to be able to click and pick which vet, farrier ect as you could in the original. Also the owner section seems to have a glitch. You can not scroll through and pick an owner.

Update - 10/4/2018: Thanks again Molly! I just wanted to let you know that in addition to being able to sort horses in alphabetical order you can also now choose your owners, vets, and farriers. Additionally, we now have a completely new Contacts section for owner information storage. Orginal: Thanks for your review Molly! The update allowing horses to be sorted in alphabetical order is out now, so that is all fixed up. More updates are coming out continuously that should address the other shortcomings that you noted. We appreciate your feedback!
Nice to have info wherever we are just by using app on our phones
Kommentare: Having it on everyone's phone so that if they are at a show or a horse is at the clinic you can access all of their information right away.
Vorteile:
Being able to put all the information in and having different sections for everything. Having the program on everyone's phone so no matter where someone is they can access horse information.
Nachteile:
Not being able to make notes on each horses profile. Would like to be able to print out lists when horses are due to be shod or when they had vet work done and what type.

Hi Cyndi, thank you for your review! We are constantly working on product improvement and pushing out updates that our customers are looking for. We are currently working on making the "lists" more multi-functional and creating new ways for you to keep your data organized in the fields. We appreciate your feedback, every bit helps us make something great!
Barn manager has modernized and streamlined the way we have run our farm.
Vorteile:
Barn Manager is exactly what the horse world has been missing! The website is extremely user friendly and the customer service is second to none. I've been so impressed with the ease of the transition from paper to digital files and the ability to search with keyword tagging. The best part is that everyone on the team can contribute, but the administrator can set different permission levels (so they only have access to the horses that they are assigned to).
Nachteile:
The only piece that Barn Manager is missing is billing/invoicing capability, but they are apparently developing it now.
Antwort von BarnManager

Thanks for your feedback Charlotte! We love to hear that BarnManager is working for your whole team. We are in the process of developing billing and invoicing capabilities, so keep an eye out for those functions coming soon!
New user turned immediately into raving fan!
Kommentare: Fantastic!!!!
Vorteile:
I was at a point of taking my very small business to the next level. For 7 years I have been the only staff member. I reached a level of being able to hire instructors and barn staff. I was looking for a way to streamline my business organization and professionalism. I had thought about needing to hire an office assistant - after trying this program I soon realized that it would service all of my needs and that I did not have to hire an office person
Nachteile:
Sometimes it’s glitchy and some things are updated on desktop version but not on a mobile app. I will say however that the staff professionalism exceptionally helpful and quick to help wherever needed! They are open and willing. As a visual person - I do wish that it was all a little more easy on the eye and more modern looking a feeling.

Thanks for the awesome review Joanne! I am glad to hear that you are enjoying BarnManager so much. We are working on pushing new updates to the mobile app currently, so that will be in-line with the desktop version in the next few weeks! Thanks for your great feedback!
Love it!
Kommentare: Our overall experience using BarnManager has been wonderful. We've had very few issues and the minor one we did have, the Customer Service from their team was fantastic. They very promptly addressed AND fixed the issue. This software has been a game changer for records keeping for our rescue. We love it.
Vorteile:
As the Director of a 501c3 rescue, this software has been extremely helpful in allowing us to track our current horses more precisely and easier. We are also a foster based rescue, so scheduling vet and farrier appointments and reminders used to be a pain. With BarnManager, it emails me and our fosters with reminders of appointments or to set appointments which is so nice. All of every horse's history is kept together, and we can access it quickly and easily with BarnManager.
Nachteile:
The one thing we wished the software did when we first started using the system is being added! So no cons for us.

Thank you for your lovely review Shea! We pride ourselves on our customer service as well as our ability to keep pushing new user-requested features. I am glad to hear it is helping you so much!
I have used barn manager to run my equine rehabilitation business since it's conception.
Kommentare: The record keeping features that do not take up physical space. The ability to generate invoices and do bookkeeping. The ability to pull up records on horses years later from anywhere do to the web based nature of the program.
Vorteile:
I like the ease of loading digital records to each horse's folder. We use the software to track feed changes, important dates like farrier appointments, vaccination records, veterinary treatments and much more.
Nachteile:
We do struggle at times to make the full transition from paper to digital. It is very fast to record daily events in a paper day book, and it does take a bit of discipline to log into the software-we have unreliable internet and since the program is web based we do not always have full access.

Thanks for your feedback Jamie! We love to hear how BarnManager is making your life easier. We know that the transition from paper to phone is tough to adjust to, and it is something that we try to consider in each aspect of our design. We love to hear how each person makes it work!
Great for helping communication among barn staff
Kommentare: Barn manager helps since we have multiple people that care for our horses. We also split our program between 2 farms during the winter. Barn manager allows everyone to know what is going on with the horses and is easily accessible for each staff member therefore each person is accountable for knowing what is going on with the horses.
Vorteile:
I really like how user friendly the software is for everyone. I have multiple people that use the program with varying levels of computer skills. Everyone has been able to quickly pick up on how to use barn manager. Customer support is also great. The response time is quick and I always get an answer or my problem solved.
Nachteile:
I wish there would be notifications sent for the app so you know without opening your email or opening the program daily to see if someone has added or changed something.

Vorteile:

BarnManager Review from a Non-Profit
Kommentare: We feel much more organized now that we don't have to write everything down and then get that information to one person to enter into our records
Vorteile:
I love being able to access our horse's information from my phone when out at our rescue farm using the BarnManager app. Being able to share it with others in our organization is great so we can type an update on who was dewormed, etc. that day and nothing slips through the cracks. With 30 horses in our care we not have an easy way to keep everyone's medical information up to date.
Nachteile:
It would be helpful to be able to type in 'other' when there isn't a label available for horses. For example in the 'Catergorization' section for horses under 'function'
