Know what each horse costs you to keep.

For boarding barns: full board, stall board, and pasture board.

Latigo Health is a cost-intelligence and operations tool for any business whose business is animals, including horse boarding barns: staff check off each horse's feed on a phone, and the cost of what was fed posts to that horse's own ledger.

Each horse's month of feed, forage, and bedding then sits beside its board rate, so the barn knows what every boarder costs to keep.

Latigo Health is $50 a month for the whole barn after 90 days free, with no per-seat fees.

What did Scout cost you last month?

He is a senior: four soaked meals a day, chopped forage in place of hay, and a supplement. Slide to your guess, then see whether his board covers it.

Price
$50 a month for the whole barn, however many horses. One price, no per-seat fees.
Free trial
The first 90 days are free.
Devices
Any phone, tablet, or computer, as a web app in the browser. Check-offs, notes, health records, and photos made without signal wait on the device and sync when the signal is back.
What it tracks
The run sheet, stock, supply cost per horse (the feed, bedding, and medication used), and the ledger.
Who sees what
The account owner sees the money, and managers what the owner allows; the staff who feed see the tasks, never a price.
Cost per horse
Each feed or medication check-off that draws on your stock posts its supply cost to that horse's ledger, at the price of the batch it came from, oldest batch first.
Board and extras
Board comes onto the owner's invoice from the stall's booked nights, extras as their own lines, and the owner pays by card from a private link.
Co-owners
Each owner and their share sit on the horse's record, and the shares add up to 100%.
Does not do
Split one invoice between co-owners by share, or cost labor.
A good fit when
you feed from your own feed room and want each horse's monthly cost beside its board rate.
Not a fit when
you need one invoice split between co-owners by share.

Made for the way a barn bills

Board is the rate. These three decide whether it covers the horse.

Co-owners and shares

Every owner, and their share. A horse's record lists each owner and the share they hold, and the shares always add up to 100%. A sale or a new partner adds a row; the old one stays in the history.

Days of bedding left

Two weeks of warning. When an item is on track to run out within two weeks, the stock list shows its days left and an alert says so, worked out from what was actually used.

Extras on the invoice

Bill what the board does not cover. Board comes onto the owner's invoice from the stall's booked nights. Add the senior feed as its own line, typed or from a saved list, and send the invoice as a private link they can pay by card.

The run sheet walks your aisle

Stall by stall, in the order you feed. Each horse's feed posts to that horse's own ledger, like Scout's senior feed from Stall 2.

Where other tools stop

Barn apps keep the records and send the board bill. Some show a cost per horse, but only after someone types or splits the bills by hand. Here it comes from the check-offs, so it is there the morning after.

Questions barns ask

What is the best software for a small horse boarding barn?

If the job is knowing what each horse costs against its board, Latigo Health does it from the feed check-offs the barn already makes. Each one posts that feed's cost to the horse's own ledger: in the demo, Scout's feed, forage, and bedding for August came to $693.56, $43.56 over his $650.00 board. It does not split invoices between co-owners.

How do I work out what each horse costs to keep?

Add up what each horse eats and uses at what you paid for it; Latigo Health does that as the feeding is checked off. Each check-off takes the feed from the oldest batch first and posts its cost to that horse's ledger, so the month adds itself up. A vet bill can be entered against the horse too. Staff time and overhead are not included.

Do I have to type in what each horse eats?

Once, when you set up the horse's routine in Latigo Health. After that the run sheet carries it, and each feed check-off posts its cost. What you do type is the price of a batch of feed when it arrives.

Can a horse have more than one owner?

Yes. The horse's record in Latigo Health lists each owner and their share, and the shares always add up to 100%.

Can the board invoice be split between co-owners by share?

Not yet. Latigo Health sends one invoice to one client. Labor is not costed either: the cost per horse is supply cost, meaning feed, bedding, and medication.

Do my vet and farrier pay to see a horse's record?

No. Guest access in Latigo Health is free for vets, farriers, and other pros, limited to the horses you share with them. A vet visit packet prints the horse's recent history.

Does Latigo Health have an app?

Yes. Latigo installs to your phone or tablet straight from your browser: no App Store download, no waiting on updates. Tap Add to Home Screen and it runs full screen like any app, keeps working in the barn when the signal drops, and sends push alerts once installed. Your whole team is on the latest version the moment we ship it, and there is no app store tax hiding in your subscription price.
