We’ve been improving and adding features throughout 2018 and look forward to everything coming in 2019. Have a good night and see you all in the new year!
Happy Christmas to everyone from the team behind At The Yard. We’ll see you all in 2019!
At your equine livery yard you may offer an all inclusive feed package to your liveries. They pay a standard fee once a month and get all feeds included. In At The Yard this is easy to setup whilst still allowing you to keep track of how much feed is used by each horse.
We’ll begin by creating the new service which we’ll call the All Feeds Inclusive service - though you can call it whatever you want. In this screen we can set the price, the billing period and everything else you’d normally setup when you create a new service.
As always you can do this by clicking on the New Service button on the Admin -> Service page.
You’ll be greeted by the standard Service creation form. The only significant thing you might want to do differently is remove the checkbox for User under the Users who are able to order/subscribe to a service section. This will stop users subscribing to this service without your involvement. This is typical at most yards as you don’t generally want your liveries being able to sign up for this sort of package without talking to you first.
Once you’ve created the service it’ll be listed under your services.
Click on the Edit button and click the Edit Included Products button.
Under this menu you’ll be able to select how much of each product is included when a livery has a subscription to the the All Feeds Inclusive service.
If you check the Unlimited checkbox it’ll allow the livery to have an unlimited amount of that particular product. Alternatively you can of course enter a specific quantity that a livery is allowed by typing it into the form field above the Unlimited? checkboxes. Once you’re ready just click on the Update Service button to save the new allowances.
That’s all you need to get the service setup.
Now you’ve setup your new service all you need to do is subscribe your liveries to it. To do this go to the Management -> Order/Subscriptions button.
Click on the New Order(s)/Subscription(s) button and select the new service (All Feeds Inclusive) service from the dropdown box and click Next.
Select Subscribe from the dropdown box and click Next
On the screen you see you’ll need to choose:
Once you’ve made these changes you just need to click Create Subscription.
That’s all there is to do. The liveries now have the appropriate subscription and will get all their feed included. So just log feeding as usual and it’ll handle it all for you.
If you have suggestions for new guides you’d like us to write about the other features in At The Yard please let us know by using the feedback link at the bottom of every At The Yard screen or by talking to your account rep.

On Sunday the 30th of September 2018 we visited the WEC (Wokingham Equestrian Centre) show.
As always it was a fantastic day. Whilst we were there we thought we'd take a few photos of the Clear Round.
Check out the photos on our Facebook page:

Happy holidays to everyone from the team behind At The Yard.
We hope you have a great break and look forward to seeing you all in 2018. We've got some great new stuff planned.
In the mean time please enjoy this photo of our mare getting into the spirit of the season!
