Booking chaos
Ten WhatsApp messages before lunch — most asking the same three questions about one paddock slot.
Today's reality
The work happens between the bookings.
Time slots are the easy part. Everything around them fills a yard manager's day.
Today
Wrong horse out
A rider books an arena, then takes the wrong horse out. The yard finds out the next day.

Family access by email
Maxx's owner wants her daughter to ride too. Now it's a three-way email chain with the yard manager.

Quick answers
Stable booking, explained plainly.
What is stable booking software?
Stable booking software manages reservations for shared equestrian facilities such as arenas, paddocks, turnout spaces, and lunging areas. Stabilion adds horse-linked access, waitlists, booking rules, and check-ins so each slot records who booked, which horse is involved, and whether the booking became real usage.
What should a livery yard booking system include?
A livery yard booking system should include facility schedules, release windows, capacity rules, cancellation handling, waitlists, horse and member permissions, and arrival records. These details help operators reduce repeated messages while keeping fair access to shared yard facilities.
How is Stabilion different from a shared calendar?
A shared calendar shows time, but Stabilion keeps the rule chain around the booking. Each Stabilion booking can connect the facility, horse, rider, access permission, waitlist status, check-in, and usage history in one operator workflow.

FAQ
Questions stable operators usually ask.
What is Stabilion?
Stabilion is stable booking software for UK livery yards, riding schools, and competition barns. It helps operators manage facility bookings, horse-linked access, waitlists, check-ins, and yard usage from one web platform.
How does Stabilion's horse-linked booking system work?
Stabilion links each facility booking to a specific horse and member access record. That lets the yard check whether the rider, horse, facility, and booking rules all match before the slot is used.
Does Stabilion support QR code check-ins?
Yes. Stabilion is designed around check-ins, including QR scan workflows for confirming who arrived, when they arrived, and which horse or facility the booking involved.
Who is Stabilion built for?
Stabilion is built first for UK stable operators, including livery yards, riding schools, and competition barns that need more control than a shared calendar or WhatsApp booking process can provide.
How long does onboarding take?
A founder runs setup with you. Most yards are live within a week, with paddocks, horses, members and access rules configured against your real facility.
Where is our data stored?
EU-hosted. You own your data and can export everything at any time during the beta — no contractual lock-in.
Are you launching in the UK first?
Yes. Stabilion is opening its private beta with UK livery yards, riding schools, and competition barns first, then expanding from there.
How does horse access work for family members?
Horse owners can invite family members or shared caretakers directly from the app. Invitees receive an email to accept. Owners can revoke access at any time.
What does it cost?
No charge during the private beta. Beta yards lock in preferred pricing when we launch publicly.
