Every horse gets a page
Luna has her own profile. So does Bink. Photos, rides, the day she spooked at a plastic bag. All of it under her name, not yours.

Your horse story,
saved forever.
Your rides, your firsts, the small everyday moments. Kept in one place for every horse in your life: your own, your lease horse or your favourite at the stable. Private, and seen only by the people you choose.

Features
Everything for your horse story.
First canter. First jump. First ribbon.
The proof, kept where you can find it. Not buried in a camera roll with three thousand other photos.
Out of WhatsApp, into something that lasts
Snap stories disappear. WhatsApp threads scroll away. HorseJournal keeps the post-show photo and the way you felt about it.
GPS ride tracking
Record a ride with GPS and keep the route, distance and time, filed under the day it belongs to. Free, no subscription.
A calendar for every horse
Plan lessons, shows, the vet and the farrier on one calendar per horse, and share it so everyone who helps knows what is coming up.
Share a horse
Owner, co-keeper, half-leaser. Share one horse with the people who help care for it, with a shared calendar and care log.
Care and medical log
Vet visits, farrier, deworming, weight and medication. Keep each horse's health history in one place, shared with whoever helps care for it.
A rider for every rider
Owners, children, share-riders. Each gets their own timeline for the same horse.
Experimental gait analysis
Turn it on and the app has a go at spotting walk, trot and canter from your ride. Early, opt-in, and always your choice.

For horse lovers
From your first canter to your favorite ride with your favorite horse, HorseJournal keeps the moments that matter.
From one horse family to another
"I'm Fransiska, mom of two horse-mad girls. I got tired of seeing their best moments disappear in WhatsApp groups and Snapchat stories. So we built HorseJournal, for them, and for anyone who wants to keep their horse story."
For parents
What parents need to know
We built HorseJournal with safety first. No surprises, no hidden tracking, no ads.
-
No public feed. Nothing your child posts is ever visible to strangers. Period.
-
Private circles only. Sharing happens only in small groups your child invites, friends, family, trainer.
-
No advertising, ever. We make money from subscriptions only. Your child's data is never sold or shared.
-
Easy parental oversight. Join your child's circle to see what they share, without controlling their account.
HorseJournal was designed with safety in mind: no public feed, no follower system, no strangers, no advertising. Independent use is permitted from the digital age of consent in your country, typically 13 in most countries, 16 in some EU member states. Younger riders use HorseJournal with consent and guidance from a parent or guardian, and the app's age gate enforces these rules per country. See our FAQ for details.
"Such a wonderful way to support parents and kids in this digital age."

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is there a horse riding app with GPS ride tracking?
Yes. HorseJournal records a ride with GPS and keeps the route, distance and time, filed under the day it belongs to. GPS ride tracking is free, with no subscription, on iPhone and Android.
Can I share a horse with someone else in HorseJournal?
Yes. You can share one horse with a co-keeper, such as a co-owner, half-leaser or family member, with a shared calendar and a care log. Creating a shared horse is a Premium feature; joining one is free.
Does HorseJournal have gait analysis?
HorseJournal has an opt-in gait experiment, in beta, that has a go at spotting walk, trot and canter from your ride. It is off by default and still early, so we offer it as an experiment rather than a finished, accurate feature.
Can several riders use the same horse?
Yes. Each rider, whether an owner, a child or a share-rider, gets their own timeline for the same horse. The free plan includes one rider, and multiple riders are part of Premium.
Can I keep a health or medical log for my horse?
Yes. You can log vet visits, the farrier, deworming, weight and medication, and keep each horse's care history in one place, shared with the people who help care for it.
Is HorseJournal free, and which phones does it run on?
HorseJournal is free to download on iPhone and Android. The Free plan includes up to three horses, GPS ride tracking, a calendar and memory cards. Premium unlocks unlimited horses and photos, video, sharing and more.
Is HorseJournal private, or is there a public feed?
HorseJournal has no public feed and no followers. You share only inside small private circles you choose, and there is no advertising and no third-party tracking.
