EquiDiary

EquiDiary is the trusted record for every horse โ€” one calm, complete history of health and training, logged in seconds at the stall and shared with the people who care for them. LOGGED IN SECONDS Big tap targets, sensible defaults and one-tap categories. Add a farrier visit or a training note before you've untacked. ONE TRUSTED HISTORY Vaccinations, lameness, deworming, competitions โ€” a single timeline you can rely on when it matters at the vet. SHARED WITH YOUR CIRCLE Invite a rider, coach, vet or farrier to a horse. Everyone sees the same record โ€” no group chats, no lost paper. NEVER MISS CARE AGAIN Put shoeing, deworming and boosters on a rhythm, or plan a one-off. A morning email tells you what's due, and logging the visit resets the clock. SPEAK, DON'T TYPE Tap the mic and say what happened โ€” the note writes itself, in whatever language you speak. Gloves stay on. WORKS OFFLINE Out at the barn where the signal doesn't reach, entries save on the phone and sync themselves once you're back in range. A VACCINATION RECORD TO HAND OVER Every shot on one clean page โ€” dates, product and vet โ€” ready to print for the vet, a buyer or the show office. THE WHOLE YEAR ON ONE CALENDAR See how often a horse actually worked โ€” a month or the full year, filtered to schooling, hacking, jumping or the lot. PHOTOS, VIDEOS AND DOCUMENTS Attach photos and videos straight from the phone, plus the vet's report, an x-ray or an invoice as a PDF. The proof stays with the note, not in a folder you'll never find again. THE WHOLE STABLE AT A GLANCE One overview lines up every horse โ€” yours and the ones shared with you โ€” with photo, last activity and the care coming due. Your data stays yours โ€” export everything at any time. Available in English, Spanish, German, French, Dutch, Italian and Portuguese.

Verdict

The call
