"Gainey Arabians has been breeding Arabian horses for over 65 years.  With the advent of computers, and the addition of the Herd Management 2000 software, it has never been easier to follow the life of individual horses in our program.  From foaling, throughout their breeding lives, every aspect of caring for a horse can be documented accurately and accessed easily.  This program is a must for serious farms.  Nothing could be easier!" - Robin Gainey, Gainey Fountainhead Arabians, Santa Ynez, California.

"Over a period of 6 months I took the time to test almost all the Equine Management packages on the market. At Okapuka, Namibia we have a Horse Safari Business and breed Straight Egyptian Arabians. Finding a package which would allow us to control both pieces of our business proved to be very difficult. After having tested Herd Management 2000 our decision was easy. The real power behind the software is that its easy to use with a well constructed user interface and the user has the ability to add and change functionality through the user defined fields option. Day to day management of our 36 horses and our guests riding them has become second nature. The fact that it is so easy to create user defined reporting has made our lives simpler and saved us a lot of money as well." - Mark Payne, Okapuka Safaris, Namibia, Africa.

"We have been using Herd Management 2000 for about a year and have found it to be an excellent product.  The customer service is the most customer oriented that I have ever experienced, adding "bells and whistles" that I have suggested in record breaking time!  It has been a great way to keep track of our two-hundred fifty miniature horses!" - Tony W. Greaves , Little America Miniature Horses, Buda, Texas.

"I have been using Herd Management 2000 software for about a year.  We raise Foundation Appaloosas and use this software to track and keep records of expenses and health care of each horse. We use the pedigree portion of this software extensively. When raising Appaloosas it is extremely important to know the horses family tree. The folks at First Step Software helped by customizing the pedigree portion to show not only color but pattern of each horse in the pedigree. They have also added features to make it easier to back up files after a personal request was made. Unlike other pedigree programs I was able to request that only the foaling year be shown on horses back in the pedigree rather than 1-1-19xx as other programs do.   It is like having your own software designer, the support is outstanding and always quick to respond to any correspondence. I would recommend this software to any serious horse breeder." - Max D. Sterrett, Double 'M' Appaloosa, Racine, Ohio.
