Aurestra helps horse owners, boarders, stable teams, and coaches keep barn information and day-to-day coordination 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.

Coach or service provider
Start by creating your coach profile where available. You can manage client relationships, lesson templates, lesson slots, and scheduling context depending on your access at a stable.

At this stage, Aurestra's service provider workflows are focused on coaches. Additional provider types may be handled differently as the product grows.
Invited by another Aurestra user
If someone invited you to a horse, stable, coach 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:
- Confirm your account details and notification preferences.
- Add or accept access to the stable, horse, or coach relationship you need.
- Add the most important people as contacts.
- Add horse records and care context.
- Add arenas or facilities if your barn will use scheduling.
- Create the first care task, care record, or booking your team needs to coordinate.
- Review setup prompts or action pills where available.
- Complete billing profile, package, and invoice settings before relying on invoice workflows.
- Review your plan details in the app if you run into an Aurestra Pro workflow or plan limit.
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.
