Running a harness racing stable is a juggling act. Horses are at different stages of preparation, races fall on different dates, and grooms and riders do not all work the same hours. At the same time, you need to remember what each horse did yesterday and what it needs to do tomorrow.
Think in strings, not just individual horses
In a racing stable, work is not organised one horse at a time. It is organised in strings: horses that work together, go out at the same time and follow the same programme. ProTrot includes string management, so you can organise the stable the way you already think about it without having to work around the tool.
One schedule or several at the same time
You can plan work individually, horse by horse, or assign it to several horses as a group. More importantly, you can view and manage several schedules at the same time. For a stable with several strings or several team members, this makes the day much easier to understand: at a glance, you can see who is doing what and where each horse is in its programme.
A team that knows what needs to be done
Everyone working in the stable can immediately find their tasks and the information they need. No more forgotten or misunderstood instructions. Tracking progress is equally straightforward: a task can be marked as complete on a phone or touchscreen with one tap. You can follow the day’s progress in real time without having to chase people for updates.
Track each horse’s work
Beyond the day’s schedule, ProTrot keeps a record of the work completed. You can view each horse’s history: what it did, when it did it and how it responded. This is invaluable when preparing for a target race, adjusting a programme or simply checking what was done two weeks ago.
Terminology that reflects your stable
Every stable has its own habits and vocabulary. In ProTrot, everything can be customised, including task types, categories and terminology. The tool adapts to the way you work, rather than the other way round.
Several sites, one clear overview
If you operate across several sites, multi-stable management allows separate locations to share information while remaining distinct. This is particularly useful when the same team manages several premises.
In summary
One tool for managing strings, individual or multiple schedules, a coordinated team and each horse’s work history. That is what ProTrot offers racing stables, with the aim of saving everyone time. According to the website, equipped stables save more than 30% of their time on average.
