Activities & Events

A riding lesson, a grooming round, a vet visit, every interaction with the horse is an activity worth recording. Not out of love for bureaucracy, but because it's the shared memory of everyone involved.

What counts as an activity?

HorseCompanion ships with more than 15 standard activity types, each with its own icon and colour, organised in two categories:

• Movement: riding, training, lesson, jumping, gymnastics, competition, walking, groundwork, lunging, in-hand work, leading
• Care: grooming, vet, farrier, feeding, stable cleaning, pasture acclimatisation

Whatever doesn't fit lands under "Other". With that you cover daily life from the riding lesson to the emergency vet visit.

Log once, always there

Every activity has a date, time, horse, optional assigned person, duration and notes. Done? Tick. Postponed? Adjust the date. Cancelled? Set the status, the history stays intact.

Recurring without copy-paste

Grooming every Wednesday, vet every six months, farrier every eight weeks, most activities repeat. Enter them once as a series (daily, weekly or monthly, with interval) and the calendar fills itself. Move or skip individual occurrences, the others stay untouched.

Timeline instead of spreadsheet

The timeline shows everything chronologically. Filterable by horse, activity type and period. Handy when the vet asks: "When was the last farrier appointment?", three seconds, answer's there.

If you recorded a ride with GPS, you'll find it as a linked activity in the timeline, distance, speed and map are automatically attached to the activity (see GPS Ride Tracking).

Frequently asked questions

What activity types can I track?

More than 15 standard types in two categories: Movement (riding, training, lesson, jumping, gymnastics, competition, walking, groundwork, lunging, in-hand work, leading) and Care (grooming, vet, farrier, feeding, stable cleaning, pasture acclimatisation). Plus "Other" as a catch-all.

What about recurring activities?

You can set up any activity as a series, daily, weekly or monthly, with any interval (e.g. every 14 days as a weekly series with interval 2). Move or cancel individual occurrences without breaking the series.

How do I see what I've already done?

Every activity has a completion status. The timeline shows chronologically what was done when, perfect for review or as evidence with the vet or farrier.
