Horse Boarding and Stable Invoicing Software (2026)
For a small boarding stable, ShowTheReceipts ($15/mo) bills monthly board automatically on a card on file, with feed, blanketing, farrier coordination, and lessons added as line items on the same monthly invoice instead of chased separately.
How we picked
Entry-plan prices as published in 2026, checked against each vendor's own pricing page. Tools were judged on the small stable's real workflow — recurring monthly board with per-horse add-ons on one invoice — not on breeding records or show management.

The small stable’s real workflow
Board is fixed monthly revenue against fixed monthly costs, and the extras — feed, blanketing, turnout, lessons, holding for the farrier — are where the paperwork falls apart. Those add-ons routinely go unbilled.
One recurring invoice per horse, with add-ons on it. That’s the system.

Frequently asked questions
What does a small boarding stable need from software?
Recurring monthly board on a card on file, add-ons billed per horse on the same invoice, and a clean record of who owes what. Health and feed records are barn management — useful, but a different problem from collecting board.
What do I get with ShowTheReceipts for $15/month?
Invoicing, card payment, and one tax-ready ledger across card, cash, and checks. Recurring invoicing and card-on-file charging are Pro-plan features at $39/month, which is the tier a boarding operation wants.
How do I handle a boarder who's always late?
Move them to a card on file with automatic monthly charging, and put a late fee in your boarding agreement. Board is a fixed monthly cost you've already incurred by the time it's late — it shouldn't depend on someone remembering.
