Stablebook

Do you know when the farrier last came?

Most of us do not, not exactly. Stablebook keeps the record: farrier, worming, jabs, the dentist. Enter each one once and it works out when the next is due, and tells you before it arrives instead of after.

The part every other app leaves to you

Riding apps count your rides. None of them remembers that the farrier is due on Thursday, that the worming is three weeks late, or what the dentist charged last autumn. That part lives on a scrap of paper, in a message thread, or nowhere at all.

Set the cycle once

Six weeks for the farrier, three months for worming, a year for the jabs. Or whatever your yard actually works to.

Get told in time

A warning ahead of the date so you can still book, and again on the day itself.

See what it costs

Log what each visit cost, and the year adds itself up without a spreadsheet.

Rides log themselves on top

Start it, ride, stop it. Walk, trot and canter are worked out from how the phone moves and how fast you are travelling, so you get the split without pressing anything. It works in an indoor school too, where there is no GPS to help.

How it tells them apart

A trot is a brisk two beat bounce, around 2.8 times a second. A canter is a slower rolling three beat, around 2.0. They can be equally energetic, so it is the rhythm that separates them, not the effort.

And where it admits doubt

Gait detection is marked as beta and every ride can be corrected by hand. When the two signals disagree it picks the slower gait on purpose, because overstating canter would flatter your workload figures.

The whole thing, as one file

Export the complete record as a PDF: every visit, every cost, every ride. Hand it to your vet, your new yard, or a buyer. Your horse's history outlasts the yard you are at, the vet you use, and the app you started with.

What it does not do

That is a design decision rather than a promise we are hoping to keep. There is no server to leak, because there is no server.

We are looking for people who will break it

Stablebook is in testing. It is free during the test, there is nothing to pay, and nothing will start costing money halfway through.

Three things we would like you to try, in this order.

  1. Add your horse Enter the last farrier and worming date you remember, even roughly. Does the schedule it works out match what you would have said yourself?
  2. Record one real ride With some walk, trot and canter in it, then look at the split. If it is wrong, tell us how wrong. That is the single most useful thing you can send us.
  3. Come back a week later without riding Was there anything worth opening the app for? Tell us honestly if the answer was no. That question decides whether this app should exist.
