YOUR HORSE. YOUR DAY. ONE PLACE. BarnPilot brings horse care, rides, records, plans and conversations together. Start free with one horse, Schedule, Nutrition, Ride Journal and Navigator. Add Pro when you need more. ARI, IN THE CONVERSATION With Pro, talk naturally with Ari and keep context during your app session. Ask to show a picture, choose a photo for analysis, or prepare a personal message draft to review before sending. AI features need internet access and service availability. Check AI results before relying on them. HORSES, CARE & RECORDS Organize profiles, photos, videos, notes, work status, turnout, feed, tack and documents by horse. Keep vet and health history, Coggins, vaccinations, imaging and X-rays together. Save a Normal Movement Video for reference and use Video Analysis to review visible patterns. These tools do not diagnose or rule out injury. PLAN YOUR DAY. TRACK YOUR RIDES. Manage schedules, reminders, barn tasks, shows, matches, races, trips and destinations. Connect competitions across Schedule and Shows. Sync schedule items one way to a calendar connected to your iPhone. Record GPS rides with route, distance, time and speed, then save them in your horse’s Ride Journal. NAVIGATOR Explore Google 3D or Apple Maps, search destinations and see aerial previews and automatic regional overlays. Mounted, walking and golf-cart routes depend on mapped coverage. SHOWCAM Capture horse and rider portraits with rear-camera or selfie capture. Use Photo Edit Studio AI edits with precise tags, supported portrait bokeh, Eye Recovery, Shadow Fill, Studio Light, filters and finishing controls. Attention Grabber sounds help with horse portraits. WATCH YOUR BARN Pro includes one supported monitored camera. Equine Watcher reviews still images for visible routine care and limited visible distress signs assessable from one frame. Farm Watch offers quieter alerts for clearly visible people, vehicles, animals and packages. It does not identify people or animals, diagnose health, or infer motion, duration or intent from a still image. Assign cameras to horses, receive notifications and use Camera Focus for a simple live view. Supported setup uses encrypted credential backup for account continuity. SENTINEL Activate 24 hours of heightened still-image monitoring for one camera. Set the situation and exact visible condition to watch. Get phone notifications, optional email and a reminder two hours before expiry. Monitoring does not diagnose, replace veterinary care or guarantee detection. Contact a veterinarian for medical concerns or emergencies. MORE FOR YOUR HORSE LIFE Save horse prospects with photos, videos and notes. Analyze horse bills line by line.
