Here's how to keep the diary in StalliQ: Open the horse profile and select the "Diary" tab. Tap the plus button, pick an activity (e.g. dressage, jumping, trail ride), optionally rate your horse's mood using five mood symbols (Very bad, Bad, Okay, Good, Great), enter the duration and optionally add a photo. Diary photos are automatically saved to the gallery with the "Diary" tag.

What happens to diary photos?
Photos you add in the diary are automatically saved to your horse's gallery and marked with the system tag "Diary". An automatic caption with the entry date ("Diary entry from ...") is also created. Over time, this builds a visual record of your activities together.
If you change a diary photo or delete the entry, the associated gallery item is removed as well.
How do I see my previous entries?
The Diary tab shows all entries chronologically - the newest at the top. Each entry shows the date, activity icon, mood symbol and a snippet of the notes. Tap an entry to see all details or to edit it.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a subscription in StalliQ for the diary?
No. The diary is included in all subscriptions - including the free FREE plan.
Can my part-time rider in StalliQ see my horse's diary?
Yes, if you've granted the "Part-time rider" role the diary permission (read or write). By default, a part-time rider does NOT have access to the diary - you have to actively grant the read or write permission under Horse profile → Sharing. The "Caretaker" role, on the other hand, can read the diary by default.
Can I create multiple diary entries per day in StalliQ?
Yes. You can create any number of entries for each day - e.g. "Lunging" in the morning and a "Trail ride" in the afternoon.
Are diary entries in StalliQ shown in the health timeline?
No. The diary is a standalone area in the horse profile and not part of the health timeline. For health-relevant observations, use the symptom documentation (see Documenting symptoms).
