Stud farm management software for horse breeders
StudPulse is management software for stud farms and breeding operations. Pedigrees, coverings, pregnancies, foaling, veterinary records, stalls and finances live in one place — and most of it can be logged by speaking instead of typing. Free for up to two horses, permanently.
In short
- Every horse has one record: sire and dam, breed, microchip, health history, training and costs.
- Foaling dates are calculated from the covering date, and overdue mares or missed checks are flagged for you.
- An AI assistant answers questions about your own horses out loud, in nine languages.
- Cost per horse includes that horse's share of hay, wages and fuel, so the figure is real rather than a guess.
- Records, breeding, finance and the AI assistant are free for up to 2 horses. Paid plans add bookings, boarding, leases and online payments, and users are unlimited on every plan.
One record per horse, not five spreadsheets
A horse record holds its sire and dam, breed, colour, date of birth, microchip and registration details, and everything that has since happened to it: treatments, vaccinations, farrier and dental visits, weights and measurements, training sessions, competition results and sales. A foal is linked to both parents the moment it is entered, so a bloodline is something you follow rather than something you reconstruct from paper.
Coverings, pregnancies and foaling
Record a mare's cycle, her coverings and the stallion used, and StudPulse works out the expected foaling date from the covering date. Pregnancies carry their ultrasounds and veterinary checks, and a mare whose pre-foaling examination has not happened is surfaced rather than remembered. Scans, lab results and invoices attach to the event they belong to instead of sitting in somebody's inbox.
Vaccinations, farrier and dental visits that do not get forgotten
Routine care repeats, so it is scheduled to repeat: recurring events for the farrier, the dentist and vaccinations, with push reminders 24 hours and one hour before. Bookings are resource-aware, so the same arena, horse or member of staff cannot be committed to two things at once.
Stalls, stables and who owns which horse
Stalls and stables are laid out as they are in the yard, and each horse sits in one. A horse owned by somebody else, boarded with you and leased to a third person is three separate relationships the software keeps apart: the owner, the livery agreement that says who pays for the stall, and the lease that says who rides. The agreement and the lease are billed separately.
What the stud earns, and what each horse costs
Income, expenses, what you are owed and what is overdue, month by month. Barn-wide costs are shared across the horses that caused them, so cost per horse is a number you can quote to an owner. A receipt is filed by photographing it, standing in the yard.
Ask your records a question
The AI assistant answers from two sources: your own records, and a curated equine reference covering biology, nutrition, health, breeding, foaling and training. It is not allowed to answer about your yard from memory — it reads the records first, every time, and says so when a record has no notes. Colic, dystocia, acute lameness and severe bleeding raise an emergency alert before anything else.
Who this is for
- Stud farms standing stallions or breeding their own mares, who need coverings, pregnancies and pedigrees in one system.
- Breeding operations that also board, teach or train, and are tired of one tool per activity.
- Small yards with two horses, who keep records, breeding and finances here for nothing and pay only once they grow or start taking bookings.
Frequently asked questions
How much does stud farm management software cost?
StudPulse is free for up to two horses, permanently: horse records, breeding, stalls, finance and the AI assistant. Above that the price depends on one thing only — how many horses are in your yard — and every paid plan adds bookings, boarding and lease billing and online payments. Each paid plan starts with a 30-day free trial that needs no card.
Can it calculate a foaling date?
Yes. Enter the covering date and StudPulse works out the expected foaling date, tracks the pregnancy through its checks and ultrasounds, and flags a mare whose pre-foaling examination is overdue.
Does it keep pedigrees?
Each horse record carries its sire and dam, breed, colour, date of birth, microchip and registration details, so a foal is linked to both parents as soon as it is entered and its lineage can be followed in the software rather than in a folder.
Can several people use it at once?
Yes, and users are unlimited on every plan. Owners, barn staff, instructors, vets and clients each get their own role, and permissions are enforced on the server rather than merely hidden in the interface.
