This is why Matthias Rath manages his horses digitally
The Schafhof stud farm, located in Kronberg in the Taunus region, is home to around 60 horses. Managed by Ann Kathrin Linsenhoff, her husband Klaus-Martin Rath, and her stepson Alexander Rath, the farm specializes in breeding and training dressage horses from a young age up to Grand Prix level. The Schafhof also features its own stallion station. Approximately 12 employees at Schafhof use the horse management software Hippovibe.
"Hippovibe helps to keep an overview of all relevant horse data."
How Matthias Rath plans the daily tasks
The horse overview and task planning are particularly important features for Matthias. "We use Hippovibe to plan the various tasks for the horses and create schedules for the employees so that we can communicate the processes to them," he says.
Given Matthias’s frequent travels to competitions, having access to the software at any time and from anywhere is very helpful. This makes it easy to make changes on the go via the app, and the employees can see updates on their mobile phones as well as on the large touchscreen in the stable.
Health management at the Schafhof
Digital health management with Hippovibe also helps to find information more quickly and to always know when the next vaccinations, shoeing, or deworming is due. This ensures that the horses are always in the best health and receive the care they need on time.
Matthias and his team also use Hippovibe to keep detailed records of each horse, including:
- Feeding
- Training
- Medical history
Having all this information in one place helps them easily track the progress of each horse and make better decisions about their care and training.
Another advantage of Hippovibe is the ability to set reminders for important tasks. This helps the team stay organized and ensures that nothing is forgotten. Whether it's a regular check-up or a special treatment, the software keeps everyone on the same page.
In addition to managing the daily care of the horses, Hippovibe also helps with planning for competitions. Matthias can easily update the schedules and plans as needed, ensuring that each horse is prepared for their events. The team can quickly adapt to any changes, making the whole process smoother and more efficient.
Summary
Overall, using Hippovibe has transformed the way Matthias and his team manage the Schafhof stud farm. It has streamlined their operations, improved communication, and ensured that the horses receive the best possible care. Matthias is very happy with the software and believes it has made a big difference in their work.
"Hippovibe is not just a tool; it's an essential part of our daily routine. It has brought a new level of efficiency and organization to our farm," Matthias concludes.
