  1. Sign in — no password needed

    Enter your email and we'll send a one-time code. No password to remember, and you'll stay signed in for 7 days.

  2. Set up your profile

    Add a photo, a short bio, and your location. Choose who can see it: everyone, members only, or just you.

  3. Create a horse profile

    Give your horse its own page — name, breed, age, colour, photos. It's separate from your own profile, with its own visibility settings.

  4. Fill in your horse's digital passport

    On your horse's page tap Records to log shows and placings, training sessions, health milestones (vaccinations, vet, farrier, dental) and sire, dam and breeder. Mark any health record private if you'd rather keep it to yourself.

  5. Post & build an activity trail

    Share text, photos, videos, or a gallery — as yourself or as one of your horses. Every post adds to a lasting, dated trail of their life.

  6. Follow & become a fan

    Follow any horse to see their posts in your feed. Reach 100 fans and a horse earns celebrity status on HoofTrail.

  7. Get discovered

    Once you're logged in, we suggest horses you're not following yet — weighted toward the ones already doing well, so popularity compounds.

  8. Like & comment

    React to any post with a like or love, and leave a comment to cheer someone (or some horse) on.

  9. Search

    Find horses by name, breed, category, or country from the search page — no account needed to browse public profiles.

  10. Share a post

    Tap the share icon on any post to send its link anywhere, or copy it straight to your clipboard.

  11. Sell or transfer a horse

    Selling or rehoming? Transfer the profile — history, fans, and all — to the new owner. Both sides confirm by email before it's final.

  12. Control who sees what

    Set your profile and each horse's visibility to public, members-only, or private, and block specific people if you ever need to.

  13. Install it as an app

    Add HoofTrail to your home screen from your browser — it opens just like an installed app, no app store needed.

  14. Manage your account & data

    Edit your details any time from your profile, or permanently delete your account and all your data whenever you want.
