AI for Equestrian yards

Livery yards and riding schools juggle monthly fees, extras that are easy to forget, feed and vaccination records, arena slots and lessons that only pay when they're full. Yard management apps, Direct Debit, booking and gift card tools can take on much of that admin, and an AI assistant can draft notices to owners. Horse welfare, rider safety and anything in the livery agreement stay with the yard owner.
