The yard books its own next visit
Owners take a trim or a full set off your page at a time you actually work, which spares everyone the four missed calls in between.

Every horse on its own interval
Set the shoeing cycle once and the next visits are already in the book. Standing arrangements are free and generate 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, set out side by side on one document, with the one the horse actually needs marked recommended.
The interval keeps itself
Five weeks, eight weeks, whatever the horse holds. Standing arrangements are on the free plan and put the next visits into the book ahead of you.
Three prices, one document
A straightforward reshoe, a set with pads and clips, and the remedial work the vet has asked for, 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, which saves rebuilding a year of visits by hand.

One yard, eight owners, eight accounts.
Eight horses at one address seldom means one bill. Each owner stays their own customer, with their own horses, their own visits and their own money.
Eight bookings, one visit
Each owner gets a booking against the same address, back to back through the morning, so a single visit still leaves eight tidy records behind it.
Cash and transfer cost nothing
Write down what the owner handed over at the yard and the visit is square. Cards are the only part of the money that needs Pro; recording is free.
Or bill the yard, not the owners
Where the yard settles for everyone, make it the customer and give the visit a line per horse. What Bookables will not do is split one bill eight ways.

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 a note on the van dashboard, and rebooked before you leave.
Fronts only
Its own price and its own duration, so a fronts horse does not quietly eat the slot you were holding for a full set at the next yard.
Trims and barefoot horses
The unshod horse on a longer interval of its own, so it appears when it is due rather than when the yard owner happens to think of it.
Shoes off for summer grass
Pull-offs recorded on the horse, so when it comes back into work in the autumn you know precisely what came off and when.
Livery yard rounds
Eight horses on one yard, each its own record under its own owner, booked back to back so one visit clears the whole barn.
Road studs before hunting
Stud holes and road nails as their own service with their own length, so a hunting morning does not run over into the afternoon round.
Remedial farriery on veterinary referral
Heart bars, pads and glue-ons quoted as their own job at their own rate, with the reasoning kept on the horse where the vet can read it back.
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 whole record are set.
A laminitic pony on box rest
Short intervals, frequent visits and the reasoning written down, tracked on that pony rather than on a page in the back of a diary.

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 rather ignores your cycle.
A sprung shoe or a horse pottery in front arrives as a request on the thread, with the owner account of it attached, rather than as a voicemail.
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, which is rather better than silence.
The account stays on the horse
What the owner said, what you found and what you put on it all sit on that horse, so the following set of shoes does not begin from nothing.
They ask rather than ring elsewhere
A page with nothing left this week still takes the request, so the horse that cannot wait until Thursday remains yours rather than the next farrier.
He has pulled a hind shoe and is a bit sore on it. Any chance this week?
Unworkable ground moves the morning.
Nothing gets shod standing in mud. Drag the yard to a drier day and every booking on it moves together, owners and all, on any plan.
Drag a job, drag the yard
Move one visit or the whole morning to another day or another person, and commit the lot at once rather than telephoning eight owners in turn.
Nobody is told until you say so
The changes sit as a draft until you commit them, and the owner hears about it only if you have switched that message on yourself.
The hours are yours
Availability comes off the hours you genuinely work, so nothing lands before the yard is even open, and a day off remains a day off.
The round only pays if the yards are close.
One horse an hour beyond the last yard 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 areas you genuinely reach off real boundaries, and an owner outside them is turned away at the first step rather than after you have quoted.
The distant yard may still ask
Beyond the boundary the owner leaves a request instead of a booking, so a new patch is a decision you take rather than one you drift into.
Divide the patch between you
Where two of you cover different areas, an area belongs to one territory and the person who works it, so neither of you crosses the other.

Common questions.
It can. The horse is its own named record under its owner, and the standing arrangement that returns it to the book runs on whatever interval that horse holds, so a five-week hunter and a nine-week hack are tracked quite separately.
Once you switch it on, yes. Every notification ships turned off, so nothing is sent on your behalf until you decide it should be. Enable the booking reminder and the owner is emailed ahead of the visit, which tends to settle the catching problem.
It does not check it, and it makes no claim about it. Farriery for reward is governed by the Farriers (Registration) Act 1975 and the Farriers Registration Council keeps the register; that is between you and them. What Bookables can do is carry your registration on the booking page copy you write, and keep the shoeing record behind it.
Two shapes, and you choose 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 yard is the customer and the visit carries a line per horse. One bill is never split between owners.
Drag the morning 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 Tuesday costs one decision rather than eight telephone calls.
It is. The free plan carries a monthly allowance of bookings that comfortably covers a full shoeing round, with no card and no time limit, and the standing arrangements the round depends on are part of it. The plan cards below carry the numbers.
