Why list with OpenStable

Reach horse owners who are actively searching

Every search on OpenStable is from someone who needs livery — by postcode, county, or specific facility. No tyre-kickers, no “any chance you have space?” group posts. Just structured demand routed to your inbox.

Dated availability, not vague claims

Your published slots have real start and end dates. That’s the difference between “DIY: yes” and “DIY box from 1 June, £45/week”. Horse owners trust the second; algorithms reward it.

No commission, ever

OpenStable is a directory, not a marketplace cut. When a horse moves to your yard, that’s your business. You keep 100% of what you charge.

Structured turnout that buyers actually search

Nine fields covering grass type, group sizes, winter access, and rotation. Yards that complete their turnout profile show up in turnout-led searches that competitors silently miss.

Built-in trust signals

Verified accuracy checks, public reviews with yard-owner responses (Pro), and a founding-member badge while founding spots remain. The platform rewards accurate, current listings.

Service-provider network on the same platform

Your liveries can find their farrier, vet, dentist, saddler, and physio without leaving the platform. A more sticky network for them — and free promotion to professionals you already work with.

How it works

  1. 1

    Sign up and tell us about your yard

    Create your free account and walk through the six-step onboarding wizard — your address, facilities, livery types, turnout fields, photos, and pricing.

  2. 2

    Publish your first availability slot

    A slot is a real, dated commitment: full / part / DIY / grass / retirement, with start and end dates and a price in £/week. Free accounts get up to 2 active slots a month.

  3. 3

    Receive enquiries directly

    Horse owners interested in your yard send an enquiry through the platform. You see them in your dashboard inbox, with the horse’s details and the slot they’re asking about.

  4. 4

    Respond, fill, and mark secured

    Reply on-platform or move the conversation off-platform — your call. When you fill a slot, mark it secured so the listing stays accurate.

  5. 5

    Maintain accuracy, climb in search

    Periodic accuracy prompts keep your listing current. Yards that respond rank higher; stale listings drop. The system actively rewards good housekeeping.

Pricing

The free plan is genuinely useful — 2 active livery slots a month, full listing, full search visibility. Pro at £4.99/month removes the slot cap, unlocks unlimited activity slots (arena hire, clinics, day camps), and lets you respond publicly to reviews.

Yard owner questions

How long does it take to list my yard?
Most yard owners are live in under 30 minutes. The onboarding wizard walks you through your basics, your facilities, and the structured turnout fields that make your yard show up properly in search. You can save and return at any point.
What happens once I'm live?
Horse owners searching by postcode, county, or facility see your yard in their results. When someone is interested, they send an enquiry directly to you — there's no booking middleman. You reply through the OpenStable inbox or carry the conversation off-platform; the choice is yours.
Do you take a commission on bookings or move-ins?
No. OpenStable is a directory and lead-flow product, not a marketplace cut. You keep 100% of what you charge your liveries. The only paid product is the optional Pro plan that unlocks higher slot limits, faster response tooling, and review responses.
What if my yard fills up — do I have to update availability myself?
Yes, and that's the point. OpenStable only shows availability slots you've explicitly published, with start and end dates. When a slot is filled, you mark it secured. We don't run yards on assumptions like "DIY: yes" with no date — every published slot has a real, current commitment behind it.
How do you verify yards?
Verification combines profile completeness, accuracy checks (we periodically prompt you to confirm details remain correct), and listing-quality signals. Yards that ignore accuracy prompts get demoted in search; yards that maintain a clean, current listing rank higher.
What's the difference between free and Pro?
Free yard owners can run up to 2 active livery slots a month. Pro is £4.99/month and lifts that limit, unlocks unlimited activity slots (arena hire, clinics, day camps), gives you the ability to respond to reviews publicly, and removes some onboarding constraints. Founding members get Pro perks while founding spots remain.
