What is a farrier app?
A farrier app is software shaped around horseshoeing businesses: multi-horse stops, trim and reset notes, payer rules at barns, and getting paid without a laptop. Generic small-business apps can invoice or map a drive, but they rarely keep which horse tied to which line item and which visit. That linkage is the difference between a true farrier app and a pile of disconnected tools.
What working shoers usually need
- Route-aware scheduling — same-day horses, travel time reality, and quick changes when weather or lameness shuffles the week (scheduling deep-dive).
- Invoicing and A/R — send PDFs or links from the hitch, watch 30/60/90-day aging, and stop revenue from living only in your head (invoicing guide).
- Mileage you can defend — per-stop miles and exports for your CPA (mileage & IRS habits).
- Horse records — photos, safety flags, shoeing history, and client-ready summaries (horse history on iPhone).
