Stablebook
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.

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.
Six weeks for the farrier, three months for worming, a year for the jabs. Or whatever your yard actually works to.
A warning ahead of the date so you can still book, and again on the day itself.
Log what each visit cost, and the year adds itself up without a spreadsheet.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
