Horse Care Book
For iPhone and Android

Every horse's care, in one book.

Farrier and vet visits, vaccines, deworming, feed, weight and costs on one timeline per horse. Horse Care Book reminds you before the farrier, shots or worming are due — and shares a clean health history with a new vet, barn manager or buyer in one tap.

What's due, for every horse

Overdue, this week, this month — farrier, shots, worming, dental and Coggins, sorted by date.

the binder

One timeline per horse

Every visit, dose and bill in one place, and a printable health record whenever someone asks.

the group texts

One summary to share

Last and next farrier, worming, vaccines, Coggins and the feeding plan, sent to the barn chat in a tap.

Everything a horse needs

Log it in seconds, find it in years.

Each kind of care has its own fields — the ones your vet or farrier will ask about — and every entry plans the next one.

Farrier

Trims, full sets, resets and therapeutic shoeing, with your farrier's cycle — six weeks, or whatever yours is.

Vaccines

Core and risk-based vaccines with lot numbers and who gave them. Each one keeps its own due date.

Deworming

Product, active ingredient and dose — plus fecal egg counts for a targeted worming program.

Vet & Coggins

Reason, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up, and the yearly Coggins test that travel and shows ask for.

Dental

Floats, exams and extractions, with the next appointment already on the list.

Weight

Scale, weight tape or estimate, with a body condition score, so the trend shows before the girth does.

Feed

Rations, hay and supplements, and a feeding plan anyone covering evening feed can read.

Medications

Dose, route and how often — and a nudge on each dose day until the course ends.

Vitals

Temperature, pulse, breathing and gut sounds, marked when a reading is outside the usual resting range.

Bodywork

Chiropractic, massage, physio, acupuncture and saddle fitting, each on its own cycle if you like.

Exercise

Rides, lessons, lunging and turnout, with the week's sessions on each horse's page.

Costs

Every bill by month, by category and by horse — board, lessons, tack and shows too.

Log once for the whole barn. Pick several horses and the farrier day, the worming or the spring shots are saved for each of them.
Reminders

Reminded before it's due.

Log a farrier visit and the next one is set six weeks out. Log spring shots and each vaccine gets its own date. You choose how many days ahead you hear about it, and at what time of day.

  • Overdue, this week and this month at a glance, for every horse — or the whole month on a calendar.
  • A nudge on each dose day while a horse is on a course of medication.
  • Reminders of your own: a saddle fitting, a recheck, the board bill.
  • Log it or snooze it straight from the reminder.
  • Notifications come from your phone itself — no account, no server.

Care team

Your vet and farrier, one tap away.

Add the vet, farrier, dentist, bodyworker, trainer and barn once. Call or text them from any horse's page, and they're suggested when you log a visit.

  • Ask for a visit in one tap: the message lists what's due for the horses they look after, ready to send by text, email or WhatsApp.
  • Numbers where you need them at 2 a.m., not buried in a phone full of contacts.
  • Some look after every horse, some just one — set it on their card.
  • A one-page stall & emergency card for the stall door, the trailer or a horse sitter: photo, allergies, current meds, feeding and who to call.

Health record

A record a vet can read in a minute.

The profile and IDs — microchip, registration, passport — allergies and current medications, the care team, then the care plan, every vaccination with its lot number, deworming and egg counts, farrier, dental and vet visits, on Letter or A4 and ready for the share sheet.

  • For a new vet, a barn manager, an insurer or a buyer.
  • Or a short summary as a message, for the barn's group chat.
  • Selling a horse? Send its record file: the new owner opens it in Horse Care Book and carries on the same history.

The free book shares the last 12 months; Pro shares the whole history, with costs if you want them.

Breeding and shows

From the first scan to the next show.

For the mare in foal and the horse that competes, the dates that matter are worked out for you.

Breeding, from cover to foal

Log heats, covers (natural or AI) and pregnancy checks. The due date, the checks at 14, 28 and 45 days, the EHV-1 boosters at 5, 7 and 9 months and the pre-foaling shots go on the care plan by themselves.

  • Days in foal and the due date on the mare's page.
  • The foal gets its own page, with its dam, sire and birthday already filled in.

Ready for the next show Pro

Choose the rule a horse competes under — FEI, 12 months or USEF — and its page shows until when its flu shots let it compete, or from when after a booster.

  • A month before the vaccination runs out, it tells you to book the booster.
  • On the health record too, for a new yard or a show office.

The competition check reads the vaccinations in your book. The passport and your federation's rules are what count: check them before you travel.

Private by design

Your barn's records stay with you.

Horse Care Book has no account and no server. There's nothing to sign up for, and nothing of yours on anyone else's computer.

No account

Open it and start. No email, no password, no login to forget at the barn.

On your phone

Records, photos and reminders are stored on the device. We never receive them.

Works offline

Log care in the aisle with no signal. Everything runs on the phone.

Backups you control

Save a backup to iCloud Drive, Google Drive or email, and restore it on a new phone.

Free and Pro

Free for your horse. Pro for the whole barn.

The free book is a complete care log for one horse. Pro is for every horse you own or manage, and records that go back years.

Everything one horse needs.

  • One horse
  • Every kind of care, breeding included, and reminders
  • Timeline, costs and backups
  • Health record PDF of the last 12 months
  • Summary to share as a message

Pro

For barns, buyers and records that go back years.

  • Unlimited horses

Pro is a monthly or yearly subscription — the yearly plan starts with two free weeks — or a one-time lifetime unlock. Prices are shown in the app in your currency before you buy. If Pro ends, nothing is deleted: one horse stays in full and the others read-only. The free version is supported by ads.

Questions

Good to know

Is Horse Care Book free?

Yes. The free book covers one horse with every kind of care, breeding records, reminders, costs, backups and a health record of the last 12 months. Pro adds unlimited horses, no ads, complete health records with costs, each horse’s papers on file, photos on entries, spreadsheet export and a competition check of flu vaccinations.

What happens to my horses if Pro ends?

Nothing is deleted. The free book keeps one horse in full (you choose which), and the others stay in the book to read and share, with their reminders paused, until Pro is back.

Do I need an account?

No. There's no sign-up, no login and no server: your book lives on your phone.

What if I lose or change my phone?

Make a backup in Settings › Backup & restore and keep the file in iCloud Drive, Google Drive or your email. Restoring it on the new phone brings back every horse, entry, photo and reminder. Because we don't keep a copy, the backup is yours to keep safe.

Can my vet, barn manager or a buyer see the records?

Share a PDF health record, a short text summary for the barn chat, or — for a new owner — the horse's record file, which opens in Horse Care Book and carries on the same history.

Is it a veterinary record?

It's the owner's own care log. Vets, insurers and buyers find it useful, but it doesn't replace a vet's certificate — the PDF says so, and recommends confirming vaccinations and test results with the attending vet.

Which vaccines and dewormers does it cover?

Core vaccines (tetanus, EEE/WEE, West Nile, rabies) and risk-based ones (influenza, rhino/EHV, strangles, Potomac horse fever, botulism, rotavirus), plus any you type. Deworming records the product, active ingredient, dose and fecal egg counts.

Can it tell me whether my horse can compete?

Pro checks each horse's flu vaccinations against the rule it competes under: FEI (a booster within 6 months + 21 days, none in the last 7 days), 12 months, or USEF (flu and rhino within 6 months). Its page shows until when it can compete, or from when after a booster. The passport and your federation's rules are what count, so check them before you travel.

Does it keep breeding records?

Yes, for mares: heats, covers (natural or AI), pregnancy checks and the foaling. The due date, the checks at 14, 28 and 45 days, the EHV-1 boosters at 5, 7 and 9 months and the pre-foaling shots are planned for you, and the foal gets its own page.

Does it use my units and currency?

Pounds or kilograms, hands or centimeters, and your currency. Dates and numbers follow your phone's region.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Everything runs on the phone, so you can log care at the barn with no signal. Only ads and purchases need a connection.
