About

Mare Foaling Tracker

Features
Read full description

Breeding a mare means tracking two clocks that move on their own every single day. Mare Foaling Tracker keeps both in one place, per mare, so nothing slips through. During breeding season you tease your mare and score her daily, but a high score alone does not mean she is ready. Ovulation happens before the end of estrus, so a rising score often means wait, not go. In early spring, a long heat can be a transitional cycle with no ovulation at all, and breeding then is wasted. After breeding, a second clock starts, with time-sensitive windows for twin checks, heartbeat checks, and vaccine timing. Keeping all of this in a spreadsheet is how details get lost. HOW IT WORKS 1. Add your mare and log her daily teasing score, or enter her breeding date. 2. The app reads elapsed days against general equine averages and her own history. 3. You get today's cycle phase, an estrus and breeding window estimate, a gestation countdown, and milestone windows that open and close as days pass. It takes 20 seconds to set up. No account required. CORE FEATURES Today's Cycle Phase Log a daily teasing score and see a plain-language phase for your mare, approaching, breeding window, transitional heat, or diestrus, with the reason behind it. Breeding Window Estimate An estimated ovulation and breeding window based on her cycle and your breeding method, so you can plan natural cover or insemination timing. Gestation Countdown Enter a breeding date and see days in foal and the estimated due window, based on general equine averages. PRO FEATURES Upgrade to Pro for deeper tracking: - Track unlimited mares at once through breeding season - Multi-day teasing score trajectory chart - Conditional pregnancy milestone windows (twin check, heartbeat check, endometrial cup threshold, vaccine checkpoints) - Reminders for each milestone window - Foal-heat window estimate after foaling - Per-mare gestation and estrus-length history - Unlimited cycle and breeding history log PRIVACY FIRST - No account, no login - All data stored locally on your device - No tracking, no ads, no third-party analytics Mare Foaling Tracker is an informational scheduling and record-keeping tool for horse breeders, based on general equine averages and your own inputs. It is not a substitute for veterinary care. Always confirm breeding timing, twin checks, vaccine timing, and foaling plans with your veterinarian.
