One platform, three jobs
Boarding, hauling, and hiring — finally in one place
Horse people have always pieced this together from Facebook groups, phone trees and word of mouth. StableStay replaces that with verified people and real availability.
Overnight & short-term boarding
Stalls, paddocks and pasture with live capacity. Sleep next to your horses with RV hookups or a room on the farm.

Meet stable handsIntroducing Stable Hands
The people in your barn, with the paperwork done.
Hiring in the horse world has always run on trust alone. We added the layer the industry never had: verified identity, emailed-and-confirmed references, reviews that go both ways, and background checks with sources you can see.
- Employers review stable hands — and stable hands review employers
- Background checks ordered and paid by whoever needs them, run only with consent
- Every check labeled by source: live data or not yet run — never faked
- Family housing, travel and live-in needs stated up front

How it works
Built for the way horse people actually travel
From a 2 a.m. departure to the last night on the road — every step has a tool, and an AI concierge that knows your horses.
Plan the route
Set your daily driving limit and we place overnight stops along the actual highways you'll haul, not as the crow flies.
Book real availability
Listings show live stall, paddock and pasture counts for your dates. Request the night; the host approves it personally.
Pay when accepted
No money moves until the host says yes. Stripe holds the payment, and refunds follow the listing's clear cancellation policy.
Arrive prepared
The concierge answers questions about a listing, checks your horses' Coggins and vaccine dates, and hands the host a care brief.
Trust & Safety
A safety standard for an industry that never had one.
Boarding a horse means letting a stranger onto your property. Hiring a groom means bringing someone into your home and your family. Taking a barn job means moving yours onto someone else's land. We built the Barn Safety Standard — inspired by the U.S. Center for SafeSport — so each side knows what to expect.
Verified identity
Government ID and live selfie for hosts, owners and stable hands.
Two-way reviews
Only people who actually worked or stayed together can review each other.
Consent-first screening
Background checks run only after the subject reviews and authorizes them.
Report a concern
Unsafe housing, animal welfare, harassment — one form, taken seriously.
For hosts
