Equine hoof care record app

Keeping consistent records across dozens of barns and hundreds of horses is critical for sound podiatry. Whether you are balancing a warmblood dressage mount, shoeing an eventer with degree leather wedges, or managing a chronic laminitic pony, having immediate access to previous shoe specifications prevents guesswork.

BarnSplit records the complete hoof care profile directly on the horse:

• Shoe Sizes & Specifications: Track front and hind shoe sizes (e.g. #0, #1, #2, St Croix Eventer, Kerckhaert DF, or Barefoot) and shoe modifications.
• Therapeutic Degree Pads & Wedges: Note degree wedges, rim pads, pour-in pads, or dental impression material. The pricing engine automatically includes the +$45 pad surcharge.
• Hoof Capsule Condition: Monitor hoof wall integrity, shelly horn, thin soles, low heels, flare corrections, or under-run heels over successive shoeing cycles.
• Pathology Flags & Alerts: Document thrush LF, white line disease RF, quarter cracks, abscess drainage, or laminitis history.
• Cautions for Next Cycle: Record instructions for the owner or barn manager, such as applying Venice turpentine, bell boots, or scheduling veterinarian radiographs.

Equine hooves grow roughly a quarter-inch every month. Missing a shoeing cycle leads to long toes, collapsed heels, and thrown shoes. BarnSplit replaces manual paper calendars with an on-device cycle calculator.

Upon shoeing record closeout, BarnSplit evaluates the horse's work type (Hunter/Jumper, Dressage, Eventing, Barrel, Western Pleasure, or Trail) and recent hoof history to recommend a 35, 42, or 49-day cycle interval. It scans the farrier's calendar for open non-conflicting slots and presents a concrete shoeing proposal ready for one-tap confirmation.

Commercial boarding facilities frequently house 10 to 30 horses with different owners, trainers, and barn managers. BarnSplit groups horses by barn facility while preserving individual horse owner billing accounts.

Barn security gate codes, parking instructions, and barn manager contact details are displayed prominently on the agenda, ensuring your apprentices and rig drivers arrive on time without delay.
