Horse Records Overview

← Back to Help Center

Horse records are the center of Aurestra. They keep practical details, care context, photos, notes, stable relationships, and history close to the people who need them.

What this helps with

  • Adding and updating horse details
  • Keeping photos and profile images organized
  • Recording care context, notes, and activities
  • Understanding stable, ownership, and boarding context
  • Supporting day-to-day coordination between owners, managers, and coaches

Add the horse

Start with the details you know:

  • Horse name, or the name your barn uses day to day
  • Registered name if useful
  • Gender, breed, colour, height, and foal date
  • Status, such as active or retired
  • Markings, identifiers, registry details, or microchip number where relevant
  • Stable, boarding, or location context where available

You can edit the record as more information becomes available.

Add photos and media

Photos help the barn team identify the horse quickly. Add a clear profile or avatar image and supporting media where available.

Use the profile image for quick recognition in lists and record headers. Use supporting photos or media for markings, condition references, documents, or other useful barn context.

Media and storage limits can depend on your current plan.

Use the care profile

The care profile is for practical horse care context: feeding notes, medical notes, shoeing notes, allergies, medications, vices, and other important barn details.

This is not veterinary advice or a replacement for professional records. Use it to keep everyday barn context visible to the right people.

Add notes and care records

Notes are useful for observations and context that do not need to be scheduled.

Care records are useful when something happened and should be logged, such as farrier work, medication, dental care, vaccination, bodywork, routine care, or a custom care type your barn uses.

Track activities and history

Horse activity history can help show what has happened around the horse over time, including manually logged activity and activity created from supported bookings.

Use history as operational context, not as a substitute for professional medical, training, or accounting records.

Stable assignment and boarding context

A horse can be connected to a stable so the barn can coordinate records, bookings, care, and boarding context.

Where available, a horse record can also show current boarding package information and assignment history.

Horse action pills and setup prompts

Aurestra may show action pills or setup prompts on horse records to highlight useful next steps. These prompts are guidance, not necessarily errors.

Horse prompts can include owner missing, boarding issue or setup, payment issue, daily care missing, agreement missing, agreement expiring, or upcoming care and bookings where no higher-priority admin issue needs attention.

Tap or review a prompt where available to complete the related setup area, check the underlying record, or decide whether no action is needed for your barn.

Ownership and shared access

Owners and managers may be able to manage ownership records, invite owners, or share horse access depending on their role, permissions, and plan.

Basic ownership records and boarding assignment context are available for barn-side organization. Advanced access control, agreement workflows, and billing workflows may require Aurestra Pro.

Verified and unverified owners

Owners can be recorded for organization, sharing, and billing context.

Where available, verification helps confirm the owner's response or relationship to the horse record. A verified owner has been confirmed through the supported workflow. An unverified owner has been recorded but has not completed that confirmation.

Unverified ownership does not necessarily block basic barn-side setup or invoicing. It also is not legal proof of ownership. Use Aurestra ownership records as operational context, and rely on your own formal documents or professional advice where legal ownership matters.
