Software for the horse world.
Built around the yard, not the desk. Works with no signal. Free for horse owners.
The problem everyone already knows.
A horse has a farrier, a physio, a dentist, a saddle fitter, a vet and often a coach. Six people who never speak to each other.
The owner holds it all together in a WhatsApp archive. The farrier drives forty minutes to shoe one horse, past three others who needed him.
The physio writes her notes in the car and again at the kitchen table. Somebody's invoice goes unpaid for six weeks because nobody put the reference on the bank transfer.
None of that is anyone's fault. There just hasn't been anywhere to put it.
It starts at the yard.
Not the diary. Not the invoice. The yard, where horses live, where visits happen, and where everyone already talks to each other.
A farrier says: I'm at Meadow Farm every other Tuesday. A physio says: I'll be there on the 14th. Everyone who keeps a horse at Meadow Farm sees it, and books in.
The yard doesn't have to sign up. It doesn't have to do anything at all. The schedule builds itself out of who says they're coming and who keeps a horse there.
Publish where you'll be. Let the bookings come to you.
Farriers and trimmers, physiotherapists and bodyworkers, saddle fitters, dentists, vets on mobile visits, nutritionists and behaviourists. Coaches and trainers work differently, and that is handled too.
Set up a regular round, every other Tuesday, first Monday of the month, every six weeks, and clients at that yard book straight into it.
Or do it the easy way. The moment you book a job at a yard, Latchpost asks whether you want to open a couple more slots to everyone else there. One tap. You were driving there anyway.
Set a minimum if you need one, this visit runs if three of you book, and let the yard fill it between themselves. They will.
Coaching runs on a diary, not a round.
A farrier publishes where he will be. A coach publishes when they are free, and lets people fill it. Same product, opposite way round.
- Set your availability once. Regular weekly slots, one-off sessions, and the blocks you keep for yourself. Change it when your week changes.
- Clients book themselves. No phone tag, and no three-message exchange to land on Thursday at four.
- Individual or group. Set the places on a group lesson and let it fill, or keep it one to one.
- Your own diary stays in charge. Latchpost reads the calendar you already keep, so a dentist appointment or a school run blocks the slot before anyone can book it.
- Changes without a conversation. Clients move or cancel inside the rules you set, and everyone's diary updates.
- Last lesson in front of you. What you worked on, what you set as homework, and whether it was done, against the right horse and rider.
Everything after the lesson works the same as it does for anyone else here: notes and video against the horse, the invoice raised before you leave, and none of it needing signal.
Finish the job. The invoice takes care of itself.
- Tap Finalise. Add anything extra you used: remedial pads, a specialist shoe, extra time, a product you sold.
- Your prices are already there, so it's tapping, not typing.
- The invoice is raised, numbered and sent with a payment link before you're back in the lorry.
- If your client has a card saved, they confirm it on your phone before you leave, and it settles the moment you get signal.
- Then it lands in your accounts, with the VAT right and the client matched. No re-typing at the kitchen table on a Sunday night.
It works where you work.
Muddy gateway, no bars, one hand free. That was the design brief.
Write it on the spot
Notes, a marked-up diagram, photos and video, a voice note. All of it offline.
Invoice from the field
Raise the invoice and book the next visit without a bar of signal.
Syncs when you're back
Everything goes up the moment you have signal again.
Never wonder if it saved
You should never have to wonder whether today's work is safe.
Notes and reports clients actually read.
- Mark up the anatomy diagram with your findings.
- Track the same region across sessions and show the change over time.
- Attach exercises with video, and see whether they've been done before you next turn up.
- Your report, your layout, your branding.
- One tap to produce a version fit to send to the horse's vet.
The admin nobody else sells you.
- Your round planned by geography
- Drive time between yards, with mileage logged and exportable for your tax return.
- Cycle-aware recalls
- Six-weekly clients offered the visit nearest their due date, without you chasing.
- Lapsed clients surfaced
- The eighteen people who haven't booked in ninety days, one tap to say hello.
- A booking link you can text
- Your profile, your live diary, booked without an account.
Free. Properly free, forever.
Not a trial. Not a cut-down version. If you're looking after your own horses, Latchpost costs nothing.
Everything about your horse, in one place
Passport and breeding. Vaccinations and shoeing dates. Vetting certificate, x-rays, medical history. Insurance policy, purchase paperwork, livery contract. Competition results. Feed, supplements, what he's sensitive to, who does his teeth.
Photograph the passport and it fills itself in. Everything else you add as you go. There's no wall of empty boxes to face on day one.
And the actual documents too. Scans and photographs of the real paperwork, kept together and searchable. The vetting certificate you'll need if you ever sell him. The x-rays. The receipt. The things you'd struggle to get again.
It tells you before you'd have remembered
Flu vaccination due next month. Farrier due in a week. Insurance renewing. Dentist overdue.
Most of us are honestly not brilliant at this. The record only earns its place if it does the remembering for you, so it does.
Buying a horse? Start here.
Vettings, medical history, insurance, passport transfer, livery contracts. It's a lot, most people do it rarely, and small things go wrong.
A passport number mistyped onto an insurance policy. A health question answered from memory instead of from the records. A fourteen-day deadline nobody mentioned.
Latchpost walks you through it, keeps every document, and flags it when two things don't match. It won't give you advice, that's your vet's job and your solicitor's, but it will tell you when your paperwork disagrees with itself.
You decide who sees what.
Three kinds of information, kept apart.
About the horse
Share with your physio, your vet, or a future owner.
Your own notes and photos
Private, always, to you alone.
Passport, policy numbers, what you paid
Locked, and shared only when you deliberately send them to one named person, for a limited time.
There's an emergency card too: vet, insurer, policy number, current medication, which you can leave with your yard, so if something happens at 2am and you're asleep, they've got what they need.
And it's your record, not a practitioner's. Change physio and the record stays with you. Sell the horse and it can go with him.
The rest of it.
Show him off
Every horse gets a page. His name, his breeding, what he's done, a proper gallery. Send the link to anyone, and they don't need the app to look. No location, ever, and nothing off your paperwork.
Something's not right? Show them
Film it. Mark where on the diagram. Send it to your physio, filed against the right horse before she opens it, instead of lost in a chat thread with fourteen other videos.
Book onto a visit that's already happening
See who's coming to your yard and when, and book in. The callout can be shared or waived, because they're coming anyway.
Share records with anyone
Need a vet, an insurer or a prospective buyer to see the records? Send a link. They don't need an account, and they see the case as it develops rather than a PDF from three months ago.
Free for owners and riders. Always.
For professionals, one flat price, however many people are in your business.

- 30 days free, no card. Cancel and your data is still yours, exportable whenever you like.
Questions people ask.
- Does my yard have to sign up?
- No. It never has to do anything. You and your practitioners do the talking; the yard is just where you meet.
- Is my horse's page public?
- Only if you switch it on, and only what you choose to put on it. Never your yard, never your location, never anything off your passport or paperwork. You can see exactly what a stranger sees before you share it.
- Who can see what I paid, or my policy number?
- Nobody, unless you deliberately send it to one named person for a set period. It's kept separate from everything else and never travels with a general share.
- What if I've got years of records elsewhere?
- Send us what you've got: a spreadsheet, a pile of PDFs, your calendar, photos of your old diary. We'll pull out what we can find and show you before anything is saved.
- Does it really work without signal?
- Yes. That's the point.
- I'm not very technical.
- Neither is a muddy gateway. If it needs a laptop, we've built it wrong.
- Who makes it?
- BitLith Ltd, a UK software company. About us.
