For horse breeders
Barn records that live on your computer.
EquineKeeper is KennelKeeper in your own words. Mares, stallions, foaling and hands, with farrier intervals where a dog breeder would see nail trims.
Your words, on every screen.
The name on the door, the labels on every screen, the registries it asks for and the vaccines it reminds you about, the way horse breeders say them. The same terms the app uses on screen.

What it keeps track of
From heat to handover.
KennelKeeper replaces the spreadsheet, the folder of paper and the two other programs. It is built for the whole life of an animal, from the heat that produced it to the buyer who took it home.
Step 1
Estrus
Log a cycle and see the day she is on and her fertile window, then work out the due date from the mating.
The reproduction screen showing three cycles and litters in progress and summary counts for active cycles, expecting dams, total offspring and breeding stock.
Step 2
The pairing
Pedigree charts with Wright's coefficient of inbreeding, worked out from your own records, and a test-mating tool that looks five generations behind the pairing you are weighing up.

Foaling
Record each foaling, how many were born and how many survived, and who is waiting on it. Each foal can then have a record of its own, weights and all.
The KennelKeeper home screen: two overdue vaccines, a whelping due in eleven days, two animals in heat with the day of the cycle, and buttons to add an animal, a health entry, a cycle or an expense.
Step 4
Health
Vaccinations, medications, lab results and weights per animal. Anything coming due in the next 30 days is flagged on your home screen.
The health center for one animal, with tabs for vaccines, cycles, labs and DNA, procedures and weight, and a vaccination history listing a rabies shot with its lot number.
Step 5
Buyers and deposits
On the Breeder plan: a waitlist from first enquiry to going home, deposits logged as income as they arrive, and income and expenses tagged to the animal or litter they belong to.
Step 6
The pedigree and the handover
Print a pedigree on any plan or save it as a PDF on Breeder, and export an animal with its ancestors as a Heritage Passport file that KennelKeeper reads back in.
Questions horse breeders ask.
Which registries does it ask for?
EquineKeeper labels registration numbers for AQHA, and the registry number sits on every animal's card. Registration certificates can be photographed and read in by the scanner.
Which vaccines does it remind me about?
EquineKeeper names West Nile / EEE and Tetanus, and every vaccination you log keeps its due date, with a reminder when it comes due.
I have more than one species. Does that work?
Yes. All three species can live in one registry, and the filters know the difference. Choose the species in Settings, and change it at any time.
Start free. Pay when it is earning its keep.
No tier counts your animals or your litters, and every tier exports.
