How much do horse apps really cost?
Horse management apps in Germany range from free to around €11 per month. At €3.75/month, Happie Horse is the budget-friendly choice featuring an AI chatbot, but it lacks critical emergency detection and budget tracking. Equilab costs roughly €11/month and focuses heavily on GPS tracking and training stats, completely omitting health and wellness features. horse+ is free for riders, but is tailor-made for stable managers. ManeMap sits comfortably in the middle at €7.99/month, yet it is the only app that combines AI health assistance, financial tracking, emergency detection, and seasonal care in one seamless guide — €7.99/mo (7-day free trial) or €79.99/yr (7-day free trial).
The apps in detail
Happie Horse
Happie Horse is aimed at horse owners in Germany and offers health tracking, 300+ training exercises, and an AI chatbot. The focus is on care, symptom tracking, and training — at an affordable price of €3.75 per month. However, it lacks emergency detection, financial overviews, and dedicated onboarding for first-time horse owners.
Equilab
Equilab is the world’s most widely used equestrian app, with more than 1 million users. Its focus is clearly on GPS tracking, gait analysis, and riding statistics. Equilab does not offer any features for horse health, expenses, or feeding — and the German translation is limited to the user interface, not the content.
horse+
horse+ is the leading stable management app in the DACH region, with more than 400 stables and 30,000 riders on board. Stable operators pay, while riders use the app free of charge. For individual horse owners without a horse+-partner stable, the app offers very little — no health tracking, no AI, and no financial overview.
ManeMap
ManeMap brings together what other apps split across 3–4 different tools: AI-powered health guidance with context (weather + profile + training), a financial overview for each horse, 84 expert articles, and emergency detection — all in German. Built for first-time horse owners and part-boarders who want more clarity and confidence in everyday stable life.
