Stryda gives every horse a permanent digital profile, and an NFC tag on the stall is the fastest way in. One tap opens health records, training logs, feeding plans, documents, and media instantly. No searching required. BUILT FOR HOW A BARN ACTUALLY WORKS A horse isn't cared for by one person. A barn manager, barn hands, a trainer, a vet, a farrier, and often an outside owner all touch the same animal at different times. Stryda is built around that reality instead of forcing everyone into one shared login. • Barn managers run the account: horses, team, billing, and who has access to what. • Barn hands see just the horses they're assigned, not the whole barn's business. Team members with their own account keep it and switch to the barn they work at. • Trainers, vets, and farriers keep their own account and connect to each barn they work with, so every client is one tap away in one app. • Outside owners keep a permanent profile for their horse that travels with it, even if the horse changes barns. • One login, every account you belong to. Switch between your personal horses, your business, and the barns you work at from the Home screen. NFC-FIRST, BUILT FOR THE BARN AISLE Tap a stall's tag with your phone and the horse's profile opens immediately. No typing a name, no scrolling a list. Walking the barn and checking who's where is as fast as tapping doors. Scan a stall you don't have access to and you can request it on the spot; the barn approves from a notification. A COMPLETE RECORD, IN ONE PLACE • Health records: vitals, injuries, recovery notes • Veterinarian visit records with follow-up tracking • Farrier service history • Training logs with duration, discipline, and notes • Feeding plans and schedules • Vaccination and medication tracking with due dates • Photos, videos, and documents (Coggins, insurance, registration) attached directly to the horse • A full activity timeline: everything that's happened to a horse, in order • A schedule for the whole barn: vet and farrier visits, training, feeding, transport ACCESS YOU CONTROL Every grant of access is specific and revocable. A barn hand sees only their assigned horses, a service provider sees only the barns and horses they've been given, and an owner's profile survives the horse leaving a barn entirely. Nothing is shared by default. SUBSCRIPTIONS Stryda is free for tracking your own horses (up to 5).
