Home in the iPhone app for the example yard: Good morning, James, a good day for it, the next appointment, Record something with Start a ride, Farrier and A cost under it, then Your horses, 2 out and 1 in, with Bring everyone in, Turn the rest out, and Benji's card: out all day on grass.

Free, and no account needed

Work it out now. Keep it if you like.

Three free tools answer today, each from a source it names, with the month somebody read it. Nothing you type is kept unless you start a record book and keep it on the horse's record.

What does the horse weigh?

The tape is in

Many tapes have inches on one side and centimetres on the other. Choose the side you read.

The horse is

The free tools

Weight from a tape

A horse's weight from a heart girth and a body length, in kilograms and in stones, with the formula and the paper it comes from under the answer.

A day's feed, and what the hay costs

A day's feed from the horse's weight, at the British Horse Society's figure, and what the hay costs at your own price.

Farrier dates

The next four visits from the last one and how often the horse is done, and how they fall against a day you care about, such as a show or a holiday.

Can you compete on the 20th?

The flu jab checker is still to confirm. It gives no date until somebody has read its rules against the governing body's own rule book, because a wrong date could stop you competing.

The record book

One record for each horse. It does the sums.

Write each thing down once. The record book works out what is due, puts it on the calendar and tells you on Home. These pictures are the real screens, from the example yard.

Your horses, on Home in the record book, for the example yard: 2 out, 1 in, and a card for each horse. Romeo's card says Romeo is out in Top field since 7:10, with 4 h 45 min of rides this week and has had 3 h 30 min a day on grass, each with small bars for the weeks and days before, and a weight of 531 kg on 6 September. Next is the anatomic girth, due on 1 October and now overdue, and nothing with alfalfa is to be fed. Hamish and Benji have a card each beside it.
Home, for the example yard. Each horse first: where it is, its rides, grass and weight, and what is next.

Home

A card for each horse comes first: where it is, its rides this week, time on grass, weight and what is next. Then what needs doing, overdue first, and the week ahead, each day with its weather and what is due.

Jabs and worming

Flu and other jabs, worming and egg counts, each on the horse's record. Book the next one and it is on Home and in the calendar.

The farrier and the vet

Write down a farrier or vet visit and what it cost, once. It goes on the horse's record and costs. The farrier's next visit is worked out from how often the farrier comes, and offered, not booked.

The calendar

Every date in one month: jabs, worming, the farrier, papers running out, jobs on the yard, your routines and your kit. Print a month for the wall.

Rides

Every ride kept, with how long and how it felt, and each horse's rides week by week. A ride tracked on the phone adds the route on a map and the time in walk, trot and canter.

Feed and the door card

Each horse's feed chart, with the old one kept when it changes, and what must not be fed. Print a door card for the stable, with who to ring.

Costs

What each horse costs this month and this year. A shared cost, such as hay for three, is split between them by what each one eats.

The tack room

Your kit, hung as it is: what needs a clean, the saddle fitting checks, the rugs, and a packing list for a day out.

Turnout and time on grass

Turn out and bring in with one press. See who is out where, and how long each one has had on grass, muzzled or not.

The yard

Your fields and stables on one plan, and the jobs on them: poo picking, topping, the fence and the school.

Papers and people

Insurance, memberships and the passport, with what runs out. Your vet, farrier and physio, with a number to press.

The medicines record

The record the law asks you to keep. Once saved an entry can be corrected, never changed, and it prints.

A closer look

Rides, the month, and the yard.

A hack on Romeo: 53 minutes 59 seconds, 3.7 miles, 4.5 miles an hour while moving and a climb of 44 metres, then a bar of the gaits: walk 76%, trot 13%, canter 2%, and 9% the phone had no position for.
A ride tracked on the phone, as the website shows it.

Every ride, and how it went

A ride tracked on the phone shows here in full: the time, the distance, the speed and the climb, and the time in walk, trot and canter. The route is on a map, coloured by the pace at each point.

A ride added by hand keeps how long it was and how it felt.

The calendar for the example yard. Each date says how it stands, not by its colour alone: Hamish's flu booster, a membership card running out and jobs on the yard are due, worked out from the record and not booked. On a wide screen the whole month shows, with Benji's worming overdue and a key under it for each colour and mark.
The calendar. Each date says how it stands.

The whole month at once

Jabs, worming, the farrier, the vet, papers running out, jobs on the yard and your routines, on one calendar. Show one kind or one horse, and print the month.

A worked out date is offered, not booked, until you book it.

The plan of Hillside Farm: Top field, Long field, the school, the track, a field shelter and five stables. Romeo is out in Top field and Romeo's stable is Box 1, Hamish is in Box 2, and the rest say nobody out or empty.
The yard as a plan: who is in each field and stable.

The yard, as a plan

Your fields and stables, with who is in each one now. The jobs on them, such as poo picking, topping or the fence, come up on Home when they are due.

Turn a horse out or bring one in from the horse's own page, and the plan follows.

On the phone

At the yard, with no signal.

The iPhone app keeps working in a field with no signal. A jab, a turnout or a ride with its route is saved on the phone first, and sent when it finds signal. Then it is on the website too.

The iPhone app is being tested.

A hack on Romeo in the iPhone app: 53 minutes 59 seconds, 3.7 miles, 4.5 miles an hour while moving, a top speed of 14.5, a climb of about 30 metres, and the time in walk, trot and canter.
Every ride: time, distance, speed and gaits.
Horses in the iPhone app: 3 horses, 2 out, 1 in, with Bring everyone in and Turn the rest out, then Benji out for 36 days and Hamish in Box 2 on box rest, each with its next thing due.
Every horse at a glance, and turn out with one tap.
Record something for Benji in the iPhone app: Start a ride, Add an appointment, then the farrier, something noticed, a vet visit, worming, jabs and medication.
Write it down in a few taps, with no signal.

An example horse

A door card for the stable

Who to ring, in order, what must not be fed, and when the farrier and the flu jab are next. Print it from the horse's page. Its code opens the record for you, once signed in, and for nobody else.

On the website there is nothing to install. It needs signal to save.

Private by default

Your record is yours.

It is kept for you, and for nobody else.

  • Only you can see your horses. Every page, print and sync answers to the owner and nobody else.
  • No advertising. We do not sell your record, and we do not train anything on it.
  • Kept on a server in the UK.
  • Download the whole record whenever you like, and delete it all whenever you like, from Settings.
  • Every rule a tool uses names its source and the month somebody read it. Where nobody has, it says to confirm and gives no date.

Start here

Start your record book before the farrier comes.

Name the horse, put one date in, and it starts building itself from there. About a minute.
