Booking software for New Zealand farriers.
A book built on cycles rather than a diary, so the horse due in six weeks is already down for a Wednesday before you have loaded the anvil.
Start with Google- Each horse's shoeing cycle and last visit on record
- A reminder the day before to have the horse caught
- The round rebooked in a tap, not a memory test
- Gate codes and paddock access kept on the property

The block books its own next visit
Owners pick a trim or a full set off your page and take a real slot, so a new horse does not arrive as four texts and a missed call.

Every horse on its own interval
Set the cycle once and the next visits are already in the book. Standing arrangements are free and keep generating ahead of you.
Learn moreA month of a round that never really ends.
Every horse you shoe comes back in six to eight weeks, so the useful question is never what is on today. It is who is due, and the month answers it in one look.
The owner is the customer, the horse is the record.
Each horse sits under its owner as its own named record with its own address, so the interval belongs to the animal and not to a line in a diary.
The next one taken off your page.
An owner who wants a trim before you were due back takes a real time you actually work, at the price already on the service.

The remedial quote, and who has opened it.
A set that needs bars or glue-ons goes out as a link. You can see it was opened, so the follow-up is a question rather than a guess.
Trim, full set, or the remedial job.
The three prices an owner asks for, side by side on one document, with the one the horse actually needs marked recommended.
The cycle sets itself
Six weeks, eight weeks, whatever this horse holds. Standing arrangements are on the free plan and put the next visits in the book ahead of you.
Three prices, one document
A plain reshoe, a set with pads and clips, and the remedial work the vet has asked for, priced as three options with the middle recommended. Options come with Pro.
Move one visit, keep the round
Shift the horse whose owner is away and the rest of the pattern re-anchors to the new date, instead of you rebuilding a year of visits by hand.

One drive, several owners, several accounts.
Horses on one block rarely mean one bill. Each owner stays their own customer with their own horses, their own visits and their own money.
Several bookings, one stop
Each owner gets a booking against the same address, back to back through the morning, so a single drive still leaves clean records behind it.
Cash in the hand costs nothing
Write down what the owner handed you at the gate and the visit is square. Cards are the only part of the money that needs Pro; recording is free.
Or bill the block, not the owners
Where the property pays for the lot, make it the customer and give the visit a line per horse. What Bookables will not do is split one bill.

Every horse on the round
The work you actually carry out
Full set, hot shod
The routine reshoe, booked off the interval that horse holds rather than off memory, and put back in the book before you drive out.
Fronts only
Its own price and its own duration, so a fronts horse never swallows the slot you were holding for a full set at the next block.
Barefoot trims
The lifestyle block pony that has never worn a shoe, on a longer interval of its own so it surfaces when it is due, not when someone rings.
Shoes off for the spell
Pull-offs before a horse goes out, written on that horse, so the day it comes back into work you know exactly what came off it.
Lifestyle block rounds
Three or four horses down one drive, each its own record, booked back to back so the whole block is cleared in a single stop.
Pony club and hunt mornings
The week-before rush, taken off your page at hours you actually work, rather than answered one text at a time after tea.
Remedial work on a vet referral
Bar shoes, pads and glue-ons quoted as their own job at their own rate, with the reasoning written on the horse where the vet can be answered.
First visit on a new horse
Priced apart from a routine reshoe, because the first look at a set of feet is where the interval and the record both get set.
Thrush and wet-ground work
The extra time a soft-footed horse takes, set as its own service length, so a wet winter does not quietly run the day forty minutes late.

Whoever covers the round when you cannot.
Each person carries their own hours and their own services, so a remedial job is never offered to someone who does not do remedial work.

Years of one horse, dated.
Every set of shoes, every trim, every pull-off, kept against the horse rather than in your head. It is what you hand a vet, a new owner or the person covering your round.
A lame horse does not wait for the cycle.
A pulled shoe or a horse off in front comes in as a request on the thread, with what happened written down, not as a voicemail between blocks.
Accept it and it is a booking
One tap turns the request into a real visit at a real time. Decline it and the owner is told, rather than left wondering whether you saw it.
The story stays on the horse
What the owner said, what you found and what you put on it sit on that horse, so the next set of shoes does not start from a blank page.
They ask instead of ringing round
A page with nothing left this week still takes the request, so the horse that cannot wait until Thursday stays yours rather than somebody else.
He has pulled a hind shoe and is a bit sore on it. Any chance this week?
Wet ground moves the whole morning.
Nothing gets shod standing in mud. Drag the run to a drier day and every booking on it moves together, owners and all, on any plan.
Drag a job, drag the run
Move one visit or the whole morning onto another day or another person, and commit the lot at once rather than ringing every owner in turn.
Nobody is told until you say so
Changes sit as a draft until you commit them, and the owner only hears about it if you have switched that message on yourself.
The hours are yours
Availability comes off the hours you actually work, so nothing lands while you are still feeding out, and a day off stays a day off.
The round only pays if the drives are close.
One horse an hour past the last block costs you the afternoon. Claim the areas the round covers and an address outside them never becomes a job.
Claim the areas, not a radius
Pick the districts you genuinely get to off real boundaries, and an owner outside them is turned away at the first step rather than after you have quoted.
The far block can still ask
Past the boundary the owner leaves a request instead of a booking, so a whole new district is a decision you make rather than one you drift into.
Split the patch between you
Where two of you run different districts, an area belongs to one territory and the person who covers it, so nobody drives across the other.

Common questions.
Yes. The horse is its own named record under its owner, and the standing arrangement that puts it back in the book runs on whatever interval that horse holds, so a six-week hunter and a ten-week paddock pony are tracked apart and both come up on time.
Yes, once you switch it on. Every notification ships off by default, so nothing sends until you decide it should. Turn on the booking reminder and the owner is emailed ahead of the visit, which is the difference between a caught horse and a wasted trip.
Two ways, and you pick the one that matches who pays. Either each owner is their own customer with a booking at the same address, back to back through the morning, or the block is the customer and the visit carries a line per horse. One bill is never split between owners.
Bookables takes no view on that and checks nothing. What it keeps is the record: every set of shoes on every horse, dated, which is the thing an owner or a vet can actually look at when they ask who has been doing the feet.
Drag the run onto another day and every booking on it moves together. The changes sit as a draft until you commit them in one go, so a washed-out morning is one decision rather than nine calls made from the truck.
Yes. The free plan carries a monthly allowance of bookings that covers a busy shoeing round, with no card and no time limit, and the standing arrangements the round runs on are part of it. The plan cards on this page carry the numbers.
