A health journal for your horse. You write down what you did and what you saw. HorseDex keeps it, and shows the record back to you over time, for one horse or for several. Write down what you did and what you saw. Exercise, feed, how they were in themselves, weights and body condition, who came out and what the vet prescribed. Nothing is compulsory. A new journal asks about very little until you switch the rest on. Log opens on today and the last seven days. Read any day back in the Diary, or search for what you wrote. Trends puts your notes, measurements, exercise totals and competition results side by side over time, with cards you can arrange or switch off. The care register knows when the farrier is due and can remind you to book before they are full. Plan a week around your bookings, or look further ahead in the month view. Lessons can repeat weekly or fortnightly, and a single date can be moved or skipped when plans change. A holiday cover sheet gathers what someone needs while they look after your horse. If you manage land, keep yard jobs and paddocks on the Land page. Spending shows what it all costs, month by month. Keep an episode when something is going on. A start, updates with photographs, and an end. Opening one switches on the questions that go with it, and closing it offers to put them away again. Take a report to your vet. A PDF of everything recorded across a range of dates, day by day, with anything that began beforehand shown at the top. You can email it straight from the app, with the record written out in the message and the PDF attached, so your vet can read it without opening anything. It never tells you what is wrong. No score, no grade, no verdict. Your notes sit side by side and you are the one who reads them. Diagnosis is your vet's work, not an app's. No accounts and no server. Everything stays on your device, with an optional backup to your own iCloud that only you can read. Nothing is collected and nothing is sent to us. Free, with nothing to buy inside it. ## Is HorseDex safe? Not enough ratings yet to assess HorseDex. ## Is HorseDex legit? HorseDex has limited verification signals.

Spending now shows how quickly you get through something like feed even when How many is left empty, which counts as one, as the grey placeholder suggests. Two bought on the same day count as one purchase. A land job can now be recorded for one paddock or for every paddock, and each paddock keeps its own last-done date. Jobs you recorded before still count for every paddock. Nothing you have recorded changes. ### 2.2 — 2026-10-12 HorseDex 2.2 puts your plan in your calendar, lets planned work and bookings have their own times, and shows spending for each horse. Turn on Add plan to Calendar in Settings and HorseDex keeps a calendar of your planned days and bookings, up to date as the plan changes. Each sits at its own time rather than filling the whole day, and days away show as all-day events. Any planned activity, extras and quiet days included, can now have a start and end time, and so can a booked visit or lesson. Days away with your horse have their own place on Plan, folded to one quiet row until you need it, and can say what they are for, such as Camp, Vets or Competition. Something planned for the afternoon and done in the morning still ticks the plan, on the widgets too. Month view now reads Box rest on box-rest days, as Week view does. Given now asks when a dose was given, and a dose already recorded can have its date and time changed from the medicine's history. Breathing has a Nasal discharge field, with suggestions such as Clear or Snotty, or your own words. With more than one horse, Spending shows what each one has cost and a total for all of them. Nothing you have recorded changes. ### 2.1.1 — 2026-10-05 HorseDex 2.1.1 adds four widgets and makes Plan follow your week more closely. Each widget view is now its own widget with its own name, so you pick the one you want: Today's log, Last 14 days, This week's plan, and Today and tomorrow. They are on iPhone, iPad and Mac. Plan's suggestions now look at the days and activities you have usually done over the last eight weeks. Your own rules still come first. A new setting shows one row per day instead of one per session, with the morning and afternoon kept together. A rule like no more than three days' work in a row now counts the days worked at the end of the week before, so a horse worked Friday, Saturday and Sunday is no longer offered work on Monday. Nothing you have recorded changes. ### 2.1 — 2026-10-02 HorseDex 2.1 makes a second horse easy to set up, and lets you clear the plan. Add a horse from the horse menu at the top or from Settings. Start the new horse from everything another horse has, choose what to bring across (care plan, plan rules, repeating bookings, daily checklist, profile and cover sheet), or start clean. Plan can clear a month or a week. Choose what goes: exercise, extras or appointments. Days already gone are never touched, and a week can be put back from its history. Opening an episode now asks what should come off the plan while it lasts, and days of box rest read Box rest. Settings, Your data has a Start again card. Reset a horse's care plan to the default intervals and reminders, keeping every visit, or clear its exercise and extras from this week on, keeping bookings. Both take a backup first. Nothing you have recorded changes. ### 2.0 — 2026-09-30 HorseDex 2.0 is clearer. Log opens on your day: today and the last seven days first, with a Log an entry button for the form. Report is now Trends and sits at the top beside search and the diary, Track's measurements have moved into Log and Trends, and the bar along the bottom has gone from six pages to four. You can hide a page you never use, or put the rest in your own order. Plan has a month view beside the week, so bookings, exercise and care due are there at a glance. Bookings can repeat weekly or fortnightly, and a single date can be skipped or moved without touching the rest. A reminder can say "Farrier tomorrow morning". A holiday cover sheet gathers what someone needs while they look after your horse: contacts, feed, hay, rug size and tack, plus current medications and anything due. Share it as a page or a picture. Land is a new page, off until you switch it on, for yard jobs like harrowing, the muck heap and fence checks, and for which horse is in which paddock. Logging exercise now asks Exercise, Lesson or Competition, and a competition can carry a class, a placing and a score. Share a ride from Equilab as a GPX file and it is added to that day's exercise. Spending can start its month on your payday, and says roughly when your hay will run out, with the workings a tap away. Trends can be arranged, and search understands more ways of asking, like "when did Bramble last see the farrier". Nothing you have recorded changes. ## Apps similar to HorseDex | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Equiniser](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/equiniser/id6470155157) | 5.0 (1) | $4.99 | Sports | | [Equijump](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/equijump/id6737974493) | — | $3.99 | Sports | | [Polework Patterns](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/polework-patterns/id6444026538) | 5.0 (3) | $3.99 | Sports | | [Equiyd: Horse Management](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/equiyd-horse-management/id6747093676) | 5.0 (1) | Free | Sports | | [Whickr Buying & Selling Horses](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/whickr-buying-and-selling-horses/id1468326401) | 1.8 (12) | Free | Sports | | [Leeds News - Fan App](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/leeds-news-fan-app/id1269120224) | 5.0 (2) | Free | Sports | --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
