Hoofbook

Features

Built for how farriers actually work.

Everything you need to organise your farrier week. No more, no less.

Optimise my week

A balanced week, planned in one click.

Hoofbook spreads your visits across your working days, taking area and the time available each day into account. It suggests a plan.

Before you commit, you see what moves, compared with your current week: kilometres, drive time, time on site, tolls and fuel.

Hoofbook suggests, you decide.

Apply the plan or edit it, then drag any visit you like. You can also use Hoofbook as a plain planner, without optimisation.

  • Visits spread across your working days, by area
  • Preview before you commit: what moves, kilometres, drive time
  • Fastest or cheapest: you choose
  • Undo right after you apply the plan
Hoofbook: preview of the plan suggested by “Optimise my week”, showing what moves on each day.
Hoofbook: the week day by day, with visits grouped by stable within each day.

Planning

Your whole week, at a glance.

See each week on a single screen. Clients, stables, horses — all there, no tabs to open, no calendar to scroll through.

Look ahead to upcoming weeks. You see at a glance where you’ve got room — and where to slot the next visit without overloading a day.

  • Your whole week on a single screen
  • Quick navigation between upcoming weeks
  • Visits grouped by stable
  • Recurring visits (trims, shoeings)

Unexpected changes

Something comes up? Reshuffle in 2 clicks.

A client cancels on Wednesday, a horse gets added at the last minute, a day needs to shift — drag the visit from one day to another, and Hoofbook recalculates the route automatically.

No backup plan to scribble on a scrap of paper. The week stays coherent, even when it shifts mid-week.

  • Drag-and-drop between days
  • Automatic route re-optimisation
  • “Unscheduled” visits to slot in whenever you want
  • Cancel and reschedule in a single drag

Hoofbook: the catch-up list, with overdue horses sorted from most to least overdue.

Catch-up

No horse falls through the cracks.

A skipped visit, a reschedule that never happened, a horse you meant to revisit last week — Hoofbook gathers them all on one page, sorted from most overdue to least overdue.

A counter in the sidebar shows you at a glance how many horses are still waiting. Reschedule them in one gesture, or mark as ‘done’ if you already swung by.

  • All catch-up items on one page, most urgent first
  • How many days overdue for each horse
  • Sidebar counter, visible from any page
  • Reschedule or ‘done’ in one click
Hoofbook: a horse’s record with its next visit, last visit and visit history.

Horses

Every horse’s history, in one click.

Last trim, last shoeing, any hoof quirks, notes from the previous visit. Everything’s recorded, everything’s findable.

No more paper notebook going missing, no more digging through your memory between visits. The horse’s information travels with you.

  • Horse record — shoeing type, notes, visit interval
  • Full history per horse (trims, shoeings)
  • Notes and observations at every visit
  • Quick search by horse, stable or client name

Mobile

On the road, in your pocket.

Hoofbook installs on your iPhone or Android like an app, in one tap from your browser. No store, no updates to manage.

Three tabs at the bottom: Today, Clients, Me. Today’s route stays available offline — addresses and phone numbers already cached, for those patches where signal drops between two stables.

  • Installs on iPhone and Android — no App Store needed
  • Today’s route available offline
  • Swipe a visit to reschedule it
  • Tap the owner’s phone number to call

Visits and route

Fewer kilometres, in the right order.

Hoofbook groups stables that sit close to each other into the same day. It then works out the best order to visit them in, and the most efficient route for the full day.

Fastest or cheapest (saves on tolls and fuel) — pick what matters that day.

  • Nearby stables grouped into the same day
  • Estimated time on site per stable
  • Two modes to choose from: fastest, cheapest
  • Set your own departure time
  • Arrival times worked out for every stop. Sharing them with your clients is optional, and you do it yourself.
  • Opens directly in Apple Maps or Google Maps
Hoofbook: a day’s route summary, with drive time, distance, total cost and the saving against visiting in name order.
