Thoroughbred & sport-horse stud management

The stud-management software behind Britain’s leading studs — now built for the web.

For thirty years Stablemate has run the offices of thoroughbred and sport-horse operations across the UK, Ireland, New Zealand and beyond. The platform now lives in the cloud: the same depth of horse, breeding and accounts management, reached from any device, with your data held in its own secure database and backed up every twelve hours.

Thirty years in the industry

The thoroughbred and sport-horse business runs on information. Stablemate is built to capture it, organise it, and hand it back the moment a decision needs making.

Trusted by studs across the UK and Ireland since 1993 — and now in New Zealand.

A platform, not a programme

Everything that made Stablemate the standard — without the desktop.

No installs, no single office PC holding your records hostage. Log in from the yard, the sales, or home, and work from the same live data.

Access anywhere

Run your office from any browser on a laptop, tablet or phone — at the stud, the sales or trackside.

Your own secure database

Every client runs on a dedicated, segregated database hosted on AWS — never pooled with anyone else’s records.

Backed up twice daily

Automated 12-hourly backups to offsite storage, with encrypted transfer, mean your breeding history is never one failed hard drive away from gone.

Always current

Enhancements and seasonal updates land for everyone automatically — no upgrade discs, no version drift.

In the yard, offline

StableSide, the mobile companion app, records foalings, coverings and vaccinations at the horse and syncs when signal returns. Included on every plan.

Français, Deutsch, Español

The interface is available in French, German and Spanish as well as English, for studs with international staff.
