Your horses. Your plans. Your photos. Together in BarnPilot. Plan the day, find a horse's records, capture a portrait and explore a mapped route. Talk naturally with Ari, your equestrian AI assistant, inside the app where you keep your horse life organized. Start free with one horse, Schedule, Nutrition, Ride Journal and Navigator. Add Pro for Ari and more. A PHOTOGRAPHY APP BUILT IN ShowCam brings horse and rider photography into BarnPilot. Capture Portrait and Selfie photos, use supported portrait background blur, and finish your favorites with editing tools. In Photo Edit Studio, describe an AI edit, review the result and share the moment. Additional AI edits are available as separate purchases. TALK NATURALLY WITH ARI Ask a question and keep the conversation going. Ari can help you find information in saved horse records, discuss a photo you choose to share, and prepare a schedule item, barn task or show entry for you to review. Included with Pro. AI features require internet access and service availability; check responses before relying on them. NAVIGATION FOR YOUR HORSE LIFE Explore street and satellite maps with BarnPilot's venue overlays. Use your current location, find mapped destinations and preview a full mapped route before you go. Mounted, walking and golf-cart routes depend on available coverage and permitted paths. KEEP EACH HORSE'S STORY TOGETHER Organize profiles, photos, notes, feed, tack and documents by horse. Keep health history, Coggins, vaccinations and imaging close. Record GPS rides with route, distance, time and speed, then save them in Ride Journal. Movement-video and analysis tools provide reference information, not a diagnosis or a way to rule out injury. PLAN THE DAY AND KEEP PEOPLE CONNECTED Manage schedules, reminders, barn tasks, shows and travel. Keep competition plans connected across Schedule and Shows. Use BarnSpeak for equestrian terminology or general translation in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German and Italian, with audio playback and back-translation. Keep horse prospects and bill analysis in the same app. CHECK IN ON THE BARN With compatible camera hardware and the required plan, open live views and receive supported monitoring alerts. Equine Watcher and Farm Watch review still images; they do not identify individuals or infer motion or duration from a single frame. Sentinel offers an optional 24-hour period of heightened still-image monitoring for a specified situation. Monitoring cannot guarantee detection, diagnose health or replace veterinary care.
