How do I find a horse?

On the home screen of your EquiTrace app select the top button which says ‘Find Horse’.


You will then have a full list of your horses on this screen. You may filter this screen by Name, Barn, Dam, and Recent. You can also search by horse name.


Once you have found your chosen horse, select the horse and you will be brought to the horse's profile.

How do I add a treatment?


Select ‘Treatments for this Horse’.


You will then be brought to the Treatments page.


You have three options on this screen - you can view your treatment record, add a new drug or add a previous treatment.


You may input a previous treatment if you have missed one.


If you are inputting a current treatment select ‘Add New Drug’


You may then scan the barcode on the drug’s box by selecting ‘Scan Drug’ or alternatively you may type in the drug's name in the ‘Enter Drug’ box.


Adjust medication dosage quantities by selecting the edit button beside the drug you have selected. Here you may adjust the Amount, Route, Frequency and Treatment Times.


If the medication needs to be given a number of times a day you may select ‘Frequency’ and select ‘Custom’ for your desired number of times per day.
