One horse

One horse. One complete story.

Most horse apps hold three things: the jabs, the farrier and what it cost. Romeo's record holds his whole life, and every part of it is joined to the rest.

An example record, not a real one. The figures are what a second year of keeping one horse actually looks like.

Plate 01A bay gelding in a stable doorway, early light, head over the door, the yard soft behind him. Shot at the yard, not bought.

Everything connects

Nothing is entered twice.

A farrier visit is not a diary entry. It is a health record, a cost, a date on the calendar and the next shoeing due, from one form filled in once. This is what one entry actually touches.

You write down that the farrier came

What he did, and how many weeks until the next one. One form, six fields, most of them optional.

Five things happen without being asked

It lands on Romeo's health timeline. The cost joins what he has cost this year. The next date is worked out and offered rather than booked. The calendar shows it in gold, because nobody has agreed to it. And his shoeing week moves on.

And it reaches the people it should

Your farrier is already in your professionals list with a number you can press. If you share Romeo with somebody, they see what you decided they see, and no more.

The one thing it will not do is invent the date. Every rule this product applies comes from a named authority with the date somebody read it, and where nobody has read it the tool says so and declines to answer.

Your place

Your place. Your way.

Wherever your horses live. A field behind the house, a stable you rent, or somewhere you run for other people. It is the same record book and it grows with you.

Land and turnout

Paddocks with their acreage, how many each holds, the track, the field shelter, and who is out where right now.

Stables

Which horse is in which box, on what livery, and which boxes are empty.

Arenas, and booking them

Slot lengths, how far ahead people may book, how many minutes a week each, and whether it needs approving. All of it enforced.

The same pages, at five sizes

A private yardYour horses, your land, shared with a sharer
A livery yardOther people's horses, their owners, the fees
A riding schoolArena bookings, lessons, who rode what
A professional yardStaff, members and the whole diary

Hillside Farm is the example throughout this site. It is a real shape of place rather than a demo: three horses, five paddocks, four stables and one floodlit school.

A day

A Tuesday, in one record book.

This is what using it actually looks like. Four of these are one tap each, with cold hands, in a gateway.

None of it needs signal. Whatever is written in the field syncs when the phone finds a bar of reception on the way home, and a record made with no signal already has its final identity, so nothing is reconciled later.

The people

Everyone who looks after your horse. In one place.

The number you want at seven in the morning, and the person who knows what he was like last time.

Putting somebody in this list gives them no access to anything. Sharing a horse is a separate, deliberate thing, and it is not built yet: exactly what a farrier or a sharer may see has to be signed off before anybody is invited, and we would rather be late than guess.

Tack and kit

The saddle knows whose horse it is.

A saddle is fitted to a horse. A rug is sized for one. So kit is not a list of possessions, it is part of a horse's record, and it tells you when each thing was last seen to.

Turnout rug, 6ft 3Washed 20 Aug
Riding hat, 57cmTo confirm

Why the hat says "to confirm"

Because a hat replacement interval is a safety rule, and nobody here has read the standard yet. It would be easy to print a date. A date we invented would either frighten you or reassure you wrongly, and neither is worth the tidiness.

The same applies to every rule in the product. Where it is sourced, it names the authority and the date it was checked. Where it is not, it says so and declines to answer.

All of it

From feed to farrier.

Twenty two things, in the four groups the record book itself uses. Where something is not built yet it says so here, rather than on the day you look for it.

Can you compete on the 20th?

Put in your flu vaccination dates and the date you want to compete. It will tell you whether the horse is eligible, and the last day you can give a booster and still be in time.

Not answering yet. Its rules are placeholders until somebody has read them against the governing body's own rule book, and it refuses to give an answer until then rather than guess.

Start your record book before the farrier comes.

Name the horse, put one date in, and it starts building itself from there. About a minute.
