From the barn aisle to paid, in four steps.
A Tuesday at a boarding barn
Dusty is a boarder's gelding. Cold snap coming, so he gets blanketed for the night. Your groom logs it in ten seconds. Here's everything that happens next — most of it without you touching anything.
-
Log.
Maria taps Dusty → Blanketing on her phone, standing in the aisle. That's the whole step. No paperwork, no whiteboard, no “I'll write it down later.”
-
Rule.
Your charge rules already know what blanketing costs: $5/night. The moment Maria logs it, StableBill adds the invoice line. Same for holding Dusty for the farrier Thursday ($25), the extra hay through the cold snap ($18) — each logged once, each priced instantly.
-
Draft.
On the 1st, you open the owner's draft invoice:
March — Dusty (owner: Sarah M.) - Board
- $650
- Blanketing — 12 nights × $5
- $60
- Hold for farrier — 1 × $25
- $25
- Extra hay — cold snap week
- $18
- Total
- $753
Every line shows what it was, when it happened, and who logged it. You scan it with your coffee, adjust anything that needs adjusting, hit send.
-
Paid.
Sarah gets a text: “March invoice from [Your Barn] — $753. Tap to view and pay.” She sees Dusty's name, the itemized list, pays by card. The money lands in your account. She never logs in. She never installs anything.
The math on one horse
Small numbers, honestly added up:
- Blanketing, 12 nights × $5 = $60
- Hold for farrier × $25 = $25
- Extra hay, cold snap week = $18
$103 on top of board — from work you were already doing, that used to depend on someone remembering to write it down.
Illustrative example. Your prices are yours to set — the point is the charges stop depending on memory.
What you never do again
- Reconstruct the month from a whiteboard photo and your memory.
- Type the same invoice lines you've typed twelve times before.
- Wonder whether the blanketing got billed. It did — it's on the line.
