Horse Management
2 min read
The horse is at the centre of everything in HorseCompanion. Its profile is the basis for every entry, activity, health, costs, feeding. The cleaner the profile, the more meaningful everything around it.
Profile in a few minutes
When you create a new horse, the form walks you through the essential fields: name, breed, birth year, sex, height at withers. Passport, chip number, brand and insurance you can add later, everything is optional. You upload the profile picture from the gallery or shoot it directly.
Every horse, its own section
In HorseCompanion you can manage any number of horses. Each horse has its own calendar, activities, health records, expenses and partnerships. In the horse list you tap between horses, like between tabs.
Gallery with captions
The horse gallery is not just a photo album. Every image can carry a caption, from "first walk to the riding hall" to "hoof abscess week 3". Profile pictures are highlighted in the gallery. You can add, view and delete images.
Activities and BCS assessments with photos automatically show up linked in the gallery, no need to juggle between diary and image collection.
Emergency QR instead of half-baked profile
Rather than a public business card, HorseCompanion focuses on a single, genuinely useful case: the emergency QR code on the box door. It shows whoever helps in an emergency what counts, photo, emergency contacts, current medications, allergies. See First Aid & Emergency QR.
Frequently asked questions
Can I manage multiple horses?
Yes, any number. Each horse has its own activities, health records, expenses and partnerships. In the horse list you switch between horses with one tap.
What master data do I record?
Name, breed, sex, birth year (optionally month/day), colour, height at withers, character, equine passport number, chip number, brand, insurance, stable address and more. All optional, you only fill in what you need.
