A clear view of your schedule

Keep track of your work, even when the days run into each other.

Hoofbook brings together your clients, horses, stables and upcoming visits. All your information stays within reach, so you can work with a clearer view of your week.

Your clients and horses

The dates of the last trim and the last shoeing. The notes from every visit stay with the horse.

Your stables

Stables close to each other land in the same day, with fewer detours.

Your upcoming visits

Your whole week at a glance, without digging through three tools.

How it works

Three steps. No more.

Do you manage your work on paper? Simply allow 30 to 60 minutes to set everything up. If your client list is already digital, you can import it directly.

Hoofbook plans the week, then each day

What Hoofbook does for your week

One-page week view

Your whole week at a glance. Your visits, stables and horses, day by day, without digging through three tools.

03

Drag to reschedule

The schedule adapts when the week changes. Drag a visit to another day and Hoofbook recalculates the route for the days involved.

04

Catch-up list

No overdue horse is forgotten. Missed visits and reschedules sit in one list, most overdue first.

05

Horse history

The dates of the last trim and the last shoeing. The notes from every visit stay with the horse.

06

Today’s Route on your phone

Tick off visits on the road. Open the next address, call the owner, mark the visit as done.

Who’s behind Hoofbook

Two areas of expertise, one shared ambition.

On the one hand, seven years of experience as a farrier, with the day-to-day challenges of managing schedules. On the other, the skills of a software developer and the desire to find a practical solution.

By bringing our worlds together, we created Hoofbook: a tool conceived in the field and developed to simplify farriers’ day-to-day lives.

Frequently asked questions

The ones we hear most.

I already have my own system. Why switch?
On paper, you count the weeks, group the stables and redo the route every time something changes. Hoofbook does it for you: due dates calculated, a week suggested in one click, the route recalculated. You approve.
I don’t have time to enter everything.
Allow 30 to 60 minutes if your list is ready, even on paper. You can also import your clients. We’ll walk you through it live for free, and on request we can help you enter your data.
I want to stay in control of my week.
“Optimise my week” only suggests a plan: you apply it or edit it. You can drag any visit at any time, or use Hoofbook as a plain planner, without optimisation.
Is it worth it?
Hoofbook costs €20 a month excl. VAT (€24 incl. VAT in France), with 30 days free and no credit card, and you can cancel anytime. The calculation is in the worked example in the Pricing section.
What about my data?
It is hosted in the EU and never sold. You can export it as CSV at any time.
How does the free trial work?
You get 30 days to try every feature, with no credit card. Afterwards your account becomes read-only until you subscribe: you keep access to your data and can export it.
Can I cancel at any time?
Yes. Your access runs until the end of the period you’ve already paid for. Unused time isn’t refunded.
What if my week changes mid-week?
Drag the visit to its new day and Hoofbook recalculates the route, the order and the timing — for both the day it left and the day it lands on. A cancellation or last-minute addition works the same way: drag from ‘Unscheduled’ onto any day.
How does Hoofbook optimise my rounds?
It puts stables that sit close to each other on the same day, works out the best order to visit them in, and picks the most efficient route between stops — fastest or cheapest. It also accounts for time on site at each stable so the departure time is realistic.
