Equimeta Barn
Horse expense tracker every dollar, on the right horse.
Vet, farrier, feed, board, tack, show fees, and lessons — categorized per horse, totaled per year, exportable for taxes. No more guessing what each horse actually costs to keep, or what it cost to bring along.
- Per-horse cost tracking, not lumped barn totals
- Yearly P&L on any horse, one click
- Receipt photos attached to entries
- Exportable to CSV for your accountant
Built around the cost categories horse owners actually need.
Quick mobile entry from the feed store, full per-horse breakdown when tax season hits.
Vet & farrier categories
Pre-configured categories for vet, farrier, dental, chiro, and bodywork. Track recurring spend so you can spot the horse running an outsized vet bill before it becomes a surprise.
Feed, hay & supplements
Log feed, hay, and supplement spend per horse with quantity, vendor, and cost. Useful for hard-keeper budgeting and seasonal cost analysis.
Board, training & lessons
Recurring monthly board, training board, and lesson packages with auto-roll on the first of the month. See what a training horse actually costs to keep in program.
Show & competition costs
Entries, stalls, hauling, hotel, day fees, coaching — bundled per show so you know the all-in cost of a season, not just the entry fees.
Receipt attachments
Snap a photo of any receipt and attach it to the entry. Survives the wash cycle when paper receipts do not, and keeps an audit trail for sales-tax and depreciation arguments.
Per-horse P&L & exports
Yearly profit-and-loss per horse, cost-by-category breakdowns, and CSV export for your accountant or your own spreadsheet model. Useful for selling, leasing, or insurance value.
What owners ask before they commit to logging every receipt.
- Can I split a single expense across multiple horses?
- Yes. Bulk vet or farrier visits, a load of hay, or a shared truck of grain can be split across as many horses as you select, by even share or by custom percentage. Each horse's P&L sees only its share.
- Does it support recurring monthly costs like board?
- Yes. Set a recurring rule for board, training, lessons, or any other monthly cost and it auto-posts on the first of the month. You can pause, edit the amount, or change the horse it is assigned to without losing the history.
- Can I import a year of expenses from a spreadsheet?
- Yes. CSV import is supported with a flexible mapper — pick the date column, amount column, category, and which horse it belongs to. Useful for moving a year of bookkeeping over from QuickBooks or a custom spreadsheet.
- Is this a substitute for accounting software?
- No — and it is not trying to be. Equimeta tracks per-horse cost so you know what each horse costs to keep. For invoicing clients, payroll, sales-tax filing, or a full chart of accounts, pair it with proper accounting software (QuickBooks, Xero, etc.) and use the CSV export.
- Can my co-owner or syndicate partner see the costs?
- Yes. Use the team controls to invite a co-owner, syndicate partner, or trainer with read-only access to a horse's expense ledger — without granting access to the rest of your barn or other horses.

Owner plan covers 1–2 horses with the full expense ledger — no card required. Better-than-shoebox bookkeeping in one evening.
