How to create a horse profile in StalliQ: Open the Horses tab, tap the turquoise plus button in the bottom right, enter the name and sex, then tap "Save". After that, you can add breed, date of birth, UELN, photo and more data to the profile at any time. StalliQ organizes all information in up to nine areas: Dashboard, Events, Diary, Health, Costs, Gallery, Equipment, Documents and Tasks. Which tabs appear depends on your permissions for the horse.
How do I add a new horse?
Open the Horses tab and tap the turquoise plus button in the bottom right. The "New Horse" form opens with the following fields:
- Photo - Tap the circle at the top to choose an image from your camera or gallery (optional)
- Name - Required field
- Gender - Required field: stallion, mare or gelding
- Nickname - Optional, in case your horse goes by a different name
- Date of birth - Date picker
- Life Number (UELN) - 15-digit identification number, checked for duplicates in real time
- Breed - Searchable picker with all common horse breeds
- Coat color - Searchable picker
- Height (cm) - Height at the withers in centimeters
Only name and gender are required fields. Tap "Save" in the top right. You can add all other data later.
UELN duplicate detected? If another StalliQ user has already created a horse with the same UELN, StalliQ shows the data of the existing horse (breed, gender, year of birth, color) and offers two options: "Send contact request" - you can get in touch with the other owner, e.g. to share the horse instead of creating a duplicate. Or "Create without UELN" - the horse is saved without a UELN. The UELN check only happens within StalliQ, with no external comparison.
How do I assign a new horse directly to a stable?
If you have an owner or manager role in a stable (a leadership role), the "New Horse" form additionally shows the "Stable assignment" area. There you choose the stable the horse should be assigned to directly, and you can mark it as a school horse right away if needed. After saving, the horse appears immediately in that stable's occupancy schedule and lesson schedule - a separate assignment via the management section is no longer necessary. If you choose "No stable", it stays a purely personal horse. To bypass your personal FREE horse limit when creating it, you also need an active stable subscription; without one you still see the assignment, but you'll hit the FREE limit when saving. You still assign an existing horse via the stable management.
How do I edit a horse profile?
Open the Horses tab and tap your horse. Then tap the profile header or name at the top to open the detail view, and there tap "Edit" in the top right. The form is organized into five sections:
Basic Data - Name, gender, nickname, date of birth, breed, coat color, height and country of birth (with a flag dropdown, e.g. Germany).
Identification - UELN, national ID, chip no., FEI ID, passport no. and passport issue date.
Pedigree - Breeder, sire (with UELN), dam (with UELN).
Character - Free-text fields for character & notes as well as markings.
Finances - Purchase price and purchase date.
After editing, tap "Save" in the top right.
What areas does the horse profile have?
After opening a horse, you'll see up to nine tabs as horizontal pill navigation. Each tab has its own permission gate, so for shared horses fewer tabs may appear depending on your role:
Dashboard - Overview with action items, upcoming appointments and quick actions (doc scan, appointment, expense, photo, weight, diary entry).
Events - All appointments for this horse (vet, farrier, vaccination, show, etc.). Details under Appointments and calendar.
Diary - Daily entries on activity (dressage, jumping, hacking, lunging, etc.), mood (1-5 stars), duration, weather and photo. Diary photos are automatically saved in the gallery with the "Diary" tag.
Health - Health record, symptoms, allergies, chronic conditions, weight history and doc scan. Details under Health and health record.
Costs - One-time and recurring expenses across 16 categories (boarding, feed, vet, farrier, insurance, saddler, etc.) with a monthly overview and trend analysis.
Gallery - Photos with tags (training, competition, health, diary, etc.), grid view and a full-screen viewer where you swipe between images. For each photo you see its description, tags and date, and you can save it to your device's gallery, set it as the profile picture or delete it.
Equipment - The equipment recorded for this horse (e.g. saddle, bridle, blanket) with photo and category.
Tasks - Upcoming tasks for this horse, which you can mark as done.
How does weight tracking work?
Open the horse profile, go to the Health tab and tap the "Weight" tile. There you'll see the weight history as a chart and a list of all entries.
Tap "Add entry" and enter: date, weight in kilograms, measurement method (scale, tape measure or estimate) and optionally a note (e.g. "before feeding"). After saving, the chart shows the trend: gaining, losing or stable.
How do I share a horse with other people?
As an owner, you can share your horse with part-time riders, caretakers, trainers or vets. Open the horse profile and go to "Sharing". Enter the person's email address and choose a role:
- Co-Owner - Full visibility and editing
- Part-time rider - Can view and create appointments
- Caretaker - Can manage health and appointments
- Trainer - Can manage training appointments
- Veterinarian - Can view and document health data
- Farrier - Can view hoof history
The permissions of each role (basic data, health, finances, gallery, diary, appointments) are configurable. The invited person receives a notification and has to accept the invitation. After that, the horse appears in their horse list. Learn more under Sharing a horse and assigning roles.
To share with multiple people, you need the PLUS or PRO subscription.
How do I delete a horse?
Open the horse profile and tap the profile header or name at the top to open the detail view. Scroll all the way down there. As the owner, you'll see the red "Delete horse" button. A confirmation dialog appears. After deletion, all data (profile, health, costs, gallery, appointments) is permanently deleted. The delete button is not in the edit form, but at the bottom of this detail view.
If you no longer want to see a shared horse (you're not the owner), you'll see "End sharing" in the same place instead - this removes you, without deleting the horse for the owner.
Frequently asked questions
How many horses can I create in StalliQ?
One horse with the free FREE subscription. Unlimited with PLUS or PRO. Existing profiles are kept when you downgrade and remain fully editable - only creating additional horses is locked on the FREE plan.
If you are the owner or manager of a stable with an active stable subscription, you can additionally create horses for the stable without it counting against your personal FREE limit - in that case, the app no longer redirects you to the subscription page.
What is the UELN and why do I need it in StalliQ?
The UELN (Universal Equine Life Number) is your horse's 15-digit life number. It's printed in the horse passport. In StalliQ, the UELN is checked for duplicates in real time - if another user has created the same horse, you can send a contact request instead of creating a duplicate.
Can I set a profile picture for my horse in StalliQ?
Yes. When creating or editing, tap the circle at the top of the form and choose a photo from your camera or gallery. Alternatively, you can use any photo in the gallery via the "Set as profile picture" menu.
What cost categories are there in StalliQ?
16 predefined categories: boarding, feed, bedding, farrier, veterinary, dentist, osteopath, medication, insurance, equipment, training, competition, transport, pasture, saddler and other. You can also create your own categories.
