After wallowing far too long in paperwork and receipts, Lo and behold what do I find? Rendaivu Horse and Stable Management Software! WOO HOO! And guess what?!??!? They have a FREE version! Do you know what this means to someone like me who would rather make snow angels in the manure pile than install a Microsoft product on my Mac? No “office” software needed! It’s all online.
The free version is very comprehensive with record keeping for your horses vaccines, vet visits, farrier visits, training, pedigree, performance and even racing records. In the expenses section you have options for Boarding, Educational Clinics, Feed & Supplements, Horse Purchases, Memberships, Miscellaneous, Tack & Apparel and Trailering. There are online calendars, photos, ad listings and more. Oh, and there is an income section too…sorry, forgot about that one. Not much horse related income coming in around here. You can also create customized reports by date, by category or by horse.
There are also two other paid versions which are software based editions for use on your computer and don’t require an internet connection. They are personal and a professional editions which have many more features than the free web based version. If they offered it on the Mac platform I would scarf up the personal edition in a heartbeat as it is only $49. The professional edition is $99 and features invoicing and lesson scheduling and tons more. I may take the hit for the professional edition in the spring when lessons start and install it on my old laptop so I can take it right with me to the barn.
I highly recommend taking a peek at this, especially to check out the free online version. It is great for all of us who need to be sure our significant others don’t see all those invoices from smartpak!
