Horses

Browse your horse list, view detailed records, add new horses, and manage photos.

The Horses tab is where you view and manage all your horses. It shows a searchable list, and tapping any horse opens a full detail view with tabs for every type of record.

Horse List

The main screen shows all your horses in a scrollable list. Each entry displays the horse's photo (or a placeholder), barn name, and breed. Horses with an active pregnancy show a pregnancy badge for quick identification.

A search bar at the top lets you filter by name. Start typing a barn name or registered name to narrow the list.

Add a Horse

Tap the + button to add a new horse. You can enter the details manually or scan a registration paper from the Scan tab to have AI fill in the fields automatically.

Tip

Scanning a registration paper is the fastest way to add a horse. AI reads the name, breed, color, date of birth, sire, dam, and registration number directly from the document.
