Getting Started with Aurestra

Aurestra helps horse owners, stable management, and equine professionals keep horse records, care, schedules, services, relationships, and billing context in one practical place.

Use this guide to decide what to set up first. You do not need to configure everything on day one.

What this helps with

• Creating your Aurestra account
• Verifying email or phone details when prompted
• Choosing the setup path that matches your role
• Adding the first horses, people, stable details, and bookings your barn needs

Create your account

Open the Aurestra app on iOS or Android and create an account with your name, email, and password.

If Aurestra asks you to verify your email or phone number, complete that step before inviting other people or relying on notifications. Verification helps keep barn communication tied to the right person.

You can update your name, phone number, timezone, profile photo, password, and email from your account or profile area.

Choose your starting path

Most people begin from one of these paths.

Horse owner or boarder

Start with your horse record. Add the horse's core details, then build up the profile over time with photos, care notes, stable context, records, and bookings.

Stable owner or manager

Begin with the barn's basic details, then add facilities, disciplines, useful contacts, billing profile details where applicable, and the setup prompts your team needs before organizing horses, owners, packages, and billing prep.

Equine professional

Start by creating an equine business profile and selecting the services you offer. You can make the profile discoverable, manage clients, connect with stables, and coordinate appointments with the relevant horse context.

If Coaching is one of your services, Aurestra also provides lesson-focused tools for templates, lesson times, clients, horses, enrollments, and reservations.

Invited by another Aurestra user

If someone invited you to a horse, stable, equine business relationship, ownership record, or agreement, create your account with the same email or phone number used in the invitation when possible.

After signing in, check your invitations, notifications, and shared records. What you can see or change depends on the connection and permissions set by the person or stable that invited you.

First setup checklist

Start with the smallest useful setup:

1. Confirm your account details and notification preferences.
2. Add or accept access to the stable, horse, or equine business relationship you need.
3. Add the most important people as contacts.
4. Add horse records and care context.
5. Add arenas or facilities if your barn will use scheduling.
6. Create the first care task, care record, or booking your team needs to coordinate.
7. Review setup prompts or action pills where available.
8. Complete billing profile, package, invoice, and online payment settings before relying on business billing workflows.
9. Review your plan details if you want to add another stable or equine business, need more storage, or are ready to use Pro billing tools.

Keep setup practical

Aurestra works best when the first records reflect real barn workflows: who cares for which horse, where the horse is boarded, which arena is being used, what is due next, and who needs to know.

You can add more detail as your barn routine settles.
