Location: virginia | I am looking for software to help keep up with shots, shoeing etc. I do not need an elaborate system but something better than writing on my calander. Any ideas ? |

Location: Catoctin Mtn, Maryland | I purchased HorseWorks several years ago. Found it was more of a pain in the butt to enter all the data than to just keep a hand written journal. I own 7 horses. Don't know how many horses you have, but I guess if you've got quite a few, a horse keeping software product would be worth it. But for me personally, it didn't work.......... |

Location: South Central OK | A regular spreadsheet would work just fine for you. All the horse software I've seen didn't apply to my small operation and was not a good fit. I could see the vaule of some programs if I was managing a breeding barn, or having to keep detailed records for boarders. |

Location: KS | I set up a chart in microsoft word, if I could figure out how to attach it I would. If you want, email me and I will send it to you. It might work for you. It would also be real easy to set one up it exel. |
