Manage Horses
Online
- There are 2 ways to add a new horse:
- click the big red “Add” button in the upper left and choose “Horse”, OR
- click the smaller red “Add Horse” button in Horses section and choose basic or detailed profile.
- A nickname is the only required field to add a horse. Other fields are optional.
- To edit a horse, click the pencil edit icon on the Horse profile page or in Horses list, make changes, click “Save”.
- To archive a horse, click the file box archive icon on the Horses list or on the Horse profile page. Archived horses DO NOT count towards the number of horses allowed on each subscription level. That limit is for active horses only.
- To activate an archived horse, click the “View archived horses” button on the far right in the “Horses” tab. Click “activate” on each horse that needs reactivated.
- Archiving a horse saves their current information and records but removes them from the horse count that each account gets with their subscription.
- Archiving is a good choice when a horse leaves for some reason or they no longer need new records kept but they don’t need permanently deleted and all their history removed.
