A horse's records - pedigree, vet history, medication log, race eligibility - are worth more when they're accurate and portable than when they're impressive on paper. Most stables track them across paper files, a spreadsheet, and whatever the last barn software vendor built before going out of business. We build software around how horses actually move between breeding, training, and racing operations.
Pedigree and breeding records with multi-generation tracking and registry-compliant documentation
Vet and medication tracking with race-day withdrawal-time compliance built in
Race entry and eligibility management alongside barn and stable day-to-day operations

The problem
Medication and withdrawal-time records tracked well enough to satisfy your own memory, but not well enough to survive a regulatory audit?
A horse's full history - pedigree, vet records, race record - scattered across three systems when it moves to a new trainer?
Short answer
RaftLabs builds custom equine management software, including pedigree and breeding records, vet and medication tracking with race-day withdrawal compliance, race entry and eligibility management, barn and stable operations, and multi-stable data portability as horses move between trainers and facilities. We build for stables, breeding operations, and racing yards whose records are split across paper files, spreadsheets, and software that doesn't follow a horse between facilities. A single-purpose tool covering breeding and vet records typically runs $25K-$50K; a full platform with race entry, multi-stable support, and barn operations runs $65K-$120K. Projects are fixed-cost, scoped after discovery, with source code ownership and post-launch support included.
01 Diagnosis
Medication records aren't audit-ready
Racing jurisdictions enforce strict medication rules and required withdrawal times before competition, and the consequences of a compliance failure - disqualification, suspension, fines - fall on the trainer and owner. Tracking medication administration and withdrawal windows well enough to remember them isn't the same as tracking them well enough to produce a defensible record on demand. Structured medication logging with automatic withdrawal-time alerts turns compliance from a memory exercise into a system.
A horse's history doesn't travel with the horse
When a horse moves from a breeding operation to a training stable to a new owner, its pedigree, vet history, and performance record often stay behind in whatever system the previous facility used - if they were digitized at all. The new team starts from partial information, and gaps in vet history or medication records create real risk. Software built around the horse, not the facility, keeps the record portable as ownership and location change.
Pedigree records are accurate on paper, unreliable in practice
Breeding value depends on accurate multi-generation pedigree data, but hand-maintained records - especially across multiple generations and multiple source documents - accumulate transcription errors that only surface when a registry submission gets flagged or a sale falls under scrutiny. A structured pedigree system with registry-compliant documentation catches errors before they become someone else's problem.
Barn operations run on a whiteboard, race entries on a separate spreadsheet
Day-to-day barn operations - feeding schedules, turnout, farrier visits - and race entry logistics - eligibility, nomination deadlines, condition books - are often tracked in completely separate systems, or not tracked systematically at all. That split makes it hard to see the full picture of a horse's readiness for its next race. One system covering both barn operations and race-entry logistics keeps day-to-day care and competition planning connected.
02 What we ship
Multi-generation pedigree tracking and breeding records with documentation formatted for registry submission, scoped to the specific breed registry your operation works with.
Veterinary history and medication logging with race-day withdrawal-time tracking and alerting, built around your racing jurisdiction's compliance requirements.
Entry and eligibility tracking, nomination deadlines, and condition-book monitoring scoped to the tracks and racing circuits your operation runs in.
Day-to-day operational tools - feeding schedules, turnout, farrier and vet visit scheduling - connected to the same record as breeding and race data, not a separate whiteboard.
Records built to travel with a horse as it moves between breeding, training, and racing facilities, with access control scoped to who should see and edit what.
Structured pedigree, vet history, and performance documentation formatted for bloodstock sales and auction catalog requirements.

07 Why us
08 Questions
Equine management software covers pedigree and breeding records, veterinary and medication history, race entry and eligibility tracking, and day-to-day barn and stable operations for horses. It's used by breeding operations, training stables, and racing yards to keep a horse's full record accurate and accessible.
Yes. Multi-generation pedigree tracking, breeding records, and documentation formatted for registry submission are a core part of what we build. We scope the specific registry and documentation requirements during discovery.
Yes. Racing jurisdictions have strict medication rules and required withdrawal times, and getting this wrong has real regulatory consequences. We build medication logging with the tracking and alerting your compliance process requires, built around your racing jurisdiction's specific rules.
Yes, if that's how your operation works. Multi-stable data portability so a horse's history travels with it, rather than staying locked in the software of the facility it's leaving, is a common requirement. We scope the access-control model alongside the portability requirement.
A single-purpose tool covering pedigree and vet records typically runs $25,000-$50,000 and takes 10-16 weeks. A full platform with race entry management, multi-stable support, and barn operations runs $65,000-$120,000 over 16-24 weeks. We scope a fixed cost after discovery, before any development starts.
Yes. Race entry involves eligibility rules, nomination deadlines, and condition-book tracking that vary by track and jurisdiction. We build entry tracking scoped to the tracks and racing circuits your operation runs in.
Yes. Migrating records off software you've outgrown, or off an unsupported vendor, is a common reason stables come to us. We scope the migration as its own phase, validating what transfers cleanly before cutover.
