The Best Farrier Reminder App for Horse Owners

Never miss a shoeing appointment again. EquineGo tracks your horse's farrier schedule, logs every visit with costs and notes, and alerts you before the next appointment is due — for every horse in your barn.

Why Consistent Farrier Intervals Are Critical

No hoof, no horse. It's one of the oldest sayings in the equestrian world — and it's still true. Hoof health is foundational to your horse's soundness, performance, and comfort. When farrier visits are delayed or forgotten, the consequences can range from chips and cracks to more serious conditions like flare, white line disease, or long-term lameness issues in horses prone to navicular or laminitis.

Most horses need the farrier every 6 to 8 weeks. That sounds simple — but when you're managing multiple horses across different shoeing cycles, it becomes surprisingly easy to let a horse slip two or three weeks past due. The farrier reminder app in EquineGo eliminates this problem entirely. Set your shoeing interval for each horse and the app handles the rest, sending push notifications before each appointment window opens.

Beyond reminders, EquineGo keeps a complete log of every farrier visit — what work was done, which farrier did it, the cost, and any notes on hoof findings. This history is invaluable for tracking hoof health trends over time and sharing with your vet if lameness develops. Farrier logs connect to your horse's full hoof care record and health history.
