## Short answer

Trotley is our pick for keeping every horse’s vaccines, boosters and papers on one calendar with reminders. Of the apps you can install today, StableDays and Hoofprint both set due dates and reminders for vaccinations, HorseCare keeps vaccines on a shared health timeline, EquiCare sends treatment reminders, and Barncat logs vet records as a timeline without listed reminders.

How we chose: We looked for iPhone apps that store horse vaccination records and ranked them for an owner who must keep boosters on time, on five criteria: a vaccination record per horse, a due date for each vaccine, reminders, documents for the barn or show, and price model. Prices, ratings and requirements are as listed on the App Store on October 1, 2026 and can change; facts about other apps come from their App Store pages. Trotley is ours; its official app page has current pricing, and we say where the other apps do more.

## What a vaccination tracker has to do

Horses do not all come due on the same day. Merck’s owner table lists a yearly booster for tetanus and rabies, a booster every 6 months for equine viral rhinopneumonitis, every 6 to 12 months for influenza and every 4 to 6 months for West Nile virus. Your veterinarian sets the plan, and our guide to the horse vaccination schedule covers the AAEP core and risk-based vaccines.

So an app needs more than a diary: a dated entry per shot, a due date for each vaccine and a reminder ahead of it. With several horses, a calendar filtered by horse matters as much.


## Records, reminders and papers

Of the six, StableDays, Hoofprint and Trotley describe vaccination due dates or reminders, and EquiCare lists reminders for treatments without naming vaccines. HorseCare and Barncat describe records, not vaccine reminders. If you only need a place to write things down, any of them works. If you keep missing boosters, choose by the reminder.

Papers matter at the barn and the show. EquiCare stores vet reports and registrations, Trotley stores passports and papers with the horse, and StableDays and Hoofprint offer a PDF in their paid tiers. See our Coggins guide for the other paper a show may ask for.


## Price models

StableDays gives one horse the full schedule free, and its Pro tier adds more horses and the care history PDF. Hoofprint, HorseCare, EquiCare and Barncat are free to download with paid tiers, and EquiCare lists no free tier. Barncat’s Premium is the highest at $199 a year, and Hoofprint’s annual plan is $39.99.

Check what the paid tier includes before you enter a year of records, and note when a trial ends. Trotley’s official page has current store details.


## Who should pick which

One horse and a free option today: StableDays, if your iPhone runs iOS 26. Daily logging with reminders: Hoofprint. A team that shares a horse log: HorseCare. A stable calendar with papers and reports: Trotley.

None of these replaces your vet’s plan. They remember the dates; you and your vet decide the vaccines.
