History & Vision


Boarding a horse is somewhat similar to leaving your young child at daycare and not really knowing what went on during the day because your child cannot yet provide the words to describe the experience. You would rely on your child’s daycare worker for this information. But what if they are not always available because they are attending the other children at the center? What if there was a way to communicate this information simply and effectively?

This was the question that Marie Taulbee has found herself asking when she boarded her horse or even the times she had to drop her daughter off for lessons.  Marie wanted to know about the maintenance or professional services that occurred during the day with her horse. She wanted updates on how her daughter’s equestrian riding lessons were progressing, as well as, any new and upcoming shows or events.

Marie also realized that the farm owner was quite busy dealing with the daily farm responsibilities. In fact, the more she began voicing these thoughts with other horse and farm owners, the more she discovered that this was a concern for more than just her.

Now, five years later, LaRaedo offers a software solution that enables farm owners to communicate daily events and professional services in a whole new dimension. The software is not only easy to use and access, but after the initial data is entered, the rest can be updated as a farm effort and not just by one person alone.
