Running a stable, agistment property, or riding school in New Zealand involves a level of operational complexity that most general business software simply wasn't built for. You're managing living animals, fixed physical infrastructure (stables and paddocks), external contractors (farriers, vets, dentists), and a client base with both horse owners and riding students.
Most NZ equestrian operators manage this with a mix of paper, spreadsheets, and WhatsApp groups. It works until it doesn't — and when things go wrong (a horse in the wrong paddock, a missed farrier appointment, a double-booked arena), the consequences can be serious.
Every horse has a profile: breed, age, owner contact, vet details, feed requirements, and care history. Notes from farrier visits, health events, and behavioural observations are all stored centrally, accessible to all staff.
Visualise your stables and paddocks on a grid. See which are occupied, which are vacant, and which are reserved for incoming horses. Reassign horses between locations with a single action.
Feed schedules vary enormously between horses — different quantities, different feeds, different times. Build a schedule per horse in the system. Staff see each horse's morning and evening feed requirements clearly, reducing feeding errors.
Book farrier appointments through the system's appointment calendar, flagged with the farrier appointment type. Get reminders before appointments and record outcomes against the horse's profile.
If you have an arena available for hire or use for lessons, manage time slots through the arena booking calendar. See availability at a glance, book lessons against specific time slots, and prevent conflicts.
Manage agistment contracts — start date, paddock/stable assignment, monthly rate, and payment status. The system tracks occupancy so you know your utilisation at a glance.

The equestrian module is part of the TPT Pets platform, which means if you also offer boarding for other animals, run a small feed and accessories shop, or want to accept online lesson bookings, everything is in one place.
