Barn Scan

Barn Scan reads your horse’s x-rays and explains them in plain English. Photograph the films your vet sent you, or pick the image files from your phone. Tell us why they were taken, like a pre-purchase exam or a lameness workup. Barn Scan checks each film for quality first, then writes a report you can actually follow. WHAT YOU GET Every report opens with an overall call, from clean to see your vet soon. Each finding is marked on the film itself and comes with plain notes on what it shows and the questions worth asking your vet. Pinch to zoom into any film. Download the report as a PDF, or turn on a read-only link to send your vet or the seller. We send a notification the moment a read is ready. Keep every horse and every case in one place, and reach the Barn Scan team from inside the app when you need help. PRICING Barn Scan is free to download. One horse read costs $29.00 and covers up to 12 films; that credit never expires. The Barn plan is $79.00 a month for five horse reads, and each month’s reads stay usable for 35 days. BARN PLAN SUBSCRIPTION TERMS Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. The Barn plan renews automatically every month at $79.00 unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for the renewal within the 24 hours before that period ends. You can manage or cancel the subscription in your Apple Account settings at any time after purchase. Cancelling stops future renewals; reads you already have stay usable until they expire. NOT A VETERINARY DIAGNOSIS Barn Scan is an AI second look for education. Reports are written by an AI model, no veterinarian reviews them, and they are not a veterinary exam, diagnosis or treatment plan. Films can hide problems a hands-on exam would catch. Always talk to your veterinarian before you make a decision about your horse’s care or a purchase. You must be 18 or older to use Barn Scan.
