Equine vet software: farm calls, horse records & billing

Equine vets: farm calls routed, horses recorded. More horses, less paperwork.

Calls get planned on the fly between paddocks. One horse has an owner, an agister and a trainer who all want different things. The invoices get written from memory after dark. We build call-out, horse record and billing systems for equine practices that work from the ute, then we host them and look after them.

Looking for equine vet practice software that works on the road?

Equine vets don't work in a consult room. The day is a run of farm calls across a few hundred kilometres, broken up by colics, wire cuts and a mare that won't foal. Horses move between owners, agisters, trainers and studs. Half of them have more than one owner. Most clinic software was built for dogs and cats walking through the front door, so the real work ends up in the vet's head, a notebook on the dash and a late night at the kitchen table.

Wollopit builds custom equine vet software around how your practice actually runs. Calls get grouped by area and sent to the right vet's phone. Notes, drugs and charges are captured in the yard, even with no signal. Records follow the horse wherever it's living. Bills go to whoever's actually paying. We connect the tools you already like, replace the ones holding you back and look after the lot on our own servers, so you can get back to the horses.

01The problems

What we hear from equine vets

Does your equine vet practice have these problems? Here's how we'd fix them.

Most equine practices we talk to are brilliant with horses and run the business side on a diary, a group chat and a ute full of receipts. It holds together, right up until breeding season.

  • The problemCalls planned on the flyThe day starts as a list in the receptionist's head. Then a call in the next valley sends the whole run backwards.
    How we fix itFarm calls grouped by area on a map, drive times worked out and each vet's run sent to their phone.
  • The problemEmergencies wreck the dayA 2am colic or a wire cut at a stud means every booked visit after it needs a phone call.
    How we fix itEmergency dispatch to the nearest available vet, with affected clients texted a new time automatically.
  • The problemHorse records split everywhereHorses move between owners, agisters, trainers and studs. Their history ends up spread across three client files.
    How we fix itOne record per horse with linked owners, carers and properties, so the history follows the horse wherever it lives.
  • The problemNotes written at nightTreatment notes, drugs given and the call-out fee get typed up at the kitchen table after twelve hours on the road.
    How we fix itMobile visit notes on the spot, even with no signal. Photos, drugs and charges captured before you leave the yard.
  • The problemWho pays for which horse?Syndicates, part-owners and trainers who on-charge. The bill lands with the wrong person and nobody's happy.
    How we fix itBilling per horse and responsible party, with ownership splits and trainer accounts worked out for you.
  • The problemUte stock goes walkaboutVials, bandages and sedatives used on the road never quite make it onto the invoice or the reorder list.
    How we fix itStock per vehicle, deducted as you treat, with restricted drug records and a restock list for the clinic.
  • The problemVaccinations slip throughHendra boosters, strangles and tetanus reminders rely on someone remembering to check the diary.
    How we fix itDue dates per horse with SMS and email reminders. When a whole property is due it books as one visit.
  • The problemPre-purchase exams take all nightNotes, x-rays and flexion videos pieced together in Word for a buyer who wants the report tonight.

03The systems

The big ones

Your whole practice, in the ute.

These are the systems equine vets ask us about most. Each one works on its own and they get properly clever when they're joined up.

Call-out dispatch

The day's run, planned before the first coffee.

Every farm call lands on a map, grouped by area with drive times worked out. Each vet gets their run on their phone. When an emergency comes in, the system shows who's closest and reshuffles the rest of the day.

  • Calls grouped by area on a map
  • Drive time estimates between yards
  • Each vet's run on their phone
  • Emergency dispatch to the nearest vet
  • Bumped clients texted a new time
  • Gate codes and property directions
  • Call-out and travel fees added automatically
  • Multi-horse visits booked as one stop
  • On-call roster for after hours
  • Google Calendar sync for each vet

Horse records

One horse, one record. However many owners.

The record belongs to the horse, not the client file. Owners, part-owners, agisters and trainers are linked to it, so when a horse changes property or trainer the history goes with it.

  • One record per horse
  • Linked owners, agisters and trainers
  • Property and paddock history
  • Microchip, brand and markings
  • Treatment and imaging history
  • Vaccination due dates and reminders
  • Hendra vaccination status at a glance
  • Photos, x-rays and videos attached
  • Permissions per horse for each party
  • Transfer a horse in one step

Mobile notes & ute stock

Notes done before you're back in the ute.

Write up the visit in the yard on your phone or tablet, even when there's no signal. Drugs and consumables come off that vehicle's stock as you use them, so they hit the invoice and the restock list without a second thought.

  • Visit notes on phone or tablet
  • Works offline in the paddock
  • Templates for lameness, dentals and colic
  • Photos and videos straight into the record
  • Drugs and consumables charged as used
  • Stock levels per vehicle
  • Restricted drug register entries
  • Restock list for the clinic
  • Owner sign-off on screen
  • Syncs to your practice software

Billing

The right bill to the right person, every time.

Charges are split by horse and responsible party, whether that's a syndicate, a part-owner or a trainer who on-charges. Studs and trainers get one tidy monthly statement. Overdue accounts get chased without anyone picking up the phone.

  • Billing per horse and payer
  • Ownership splits by percentage
  • Trainer and stud accounts
  • Monthly statements
  • Invoices into Xero or MYOB
  • Card on file with Stripe or Square
  • VetPay payment plans
  • Automatic overdue reminders
  • Overdue accounts flagged at booking
  • Call-out fees never forgotten

Breeding season

Mare rounds without the notebook.

Every mare on every stud with her scan results, follicle sizes, covering dates and pregnancy checks in one place. The daily round sheet builds itself and stud managers see what's next without ringing you.

  • Mares grouped by stud
  • Scan results and follicle sizes
  • Covering dates and stallion details
  • Pregnancy check reminders
  • Daily round sheet per vet
  • Ultrasound images attached
  • Stud manager logins
  • Foaling dates and follow-ups
  • Breeding fees billed per mare
04How it changes

Before and after

A stud farm visit, wolloped.

Here's how a morning at a stud could change. Every practice is different, so we map yours first.

Before

  1. The call came in by text and got squeezed in on the fly
  2. Drive past a yard you'll be back at this afternoon
  3. Treat twelve horses and scribble notes on a glove box pad
  4. Guess which owner pays for which horse
  5. Forget the sedation and bandages on three invoices
  6. Type it all up at the kitchen table at 9pm

After

  1. The visit was grouped with two nearby yards
  2. Your run is on your phone in drive order
  3. Notes and photos go in per horse as you work
  4. Charges split to the right owners automatically
  5. Drugs and consumables come off the ute stock and onto the bill
  6. Statements are ready before you're back on the highway

07How we work

The process

Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.

We get properly below the surface of your equine vet practice: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.

  1. 01

    Think

    We ride along on a farm call day and sit with reception, then work out what's actually slowing the practice down.

  2. 02

    Archi-tech

    We plan it before writing code: your calls, horses, owners, ute stock, billing, practice software, hosting and cost.

  3. 03

    Build

    Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually the most painful bit first, so you get a win before breeding season.

  4. 04

    Look after

    We host it, maintain it and keep improving it. When something breaks you call the people who built it.

08Questions

FAQ

Things equine vets ask us.

Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.

Can trainers and owners both see records?

Yes. Owners, trainers and agisters can each be given access with permissions per horse, so a trainer sees the horses in their stable and a part-owner only sees their own.

Does it work out in the paddock with no signal?

Yes. Notes, photos and charges save on the phone or tablet and sync as soon as you're back in range.

Can it handle horses with several owners?

Yes. Each horse can have ownership split by percentage or a single responsible party like a trainer or syndicate manager. Charges are split automatically.

Can it remind clients about Hendra and other vaccinations?

Yes. Due dates sit on each horse and reminders go by SMS or email. When a whole property is due it can book as one visit.

We already use practice management software. Do we have to switch?

No. If ezyVet, RxWorks or Provet Cloud is doing its job, we build around it with routing, mobile notes, split billing and portals on top. If it's holding you back, we'll show you what replacing it would involve before anything changes.

Can it keep track of the drugs in each ute?

Yes. Stock is tracked per vehicle and comes off as you treat, with restricted drug records and a restock list for the clinic.

How much does an equine vet system cost?

It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand it. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.

How long does it take?

Smaller jobs like vaccination reminders or a pre-purchase report template can be quick. Bigger systems are planned in stages so you get the first win early instead of waiting for everything at once.

Who looks after it once it's built?

We do. We host it on our own managed servers and keep it updated and secure. When you need something you ring the people who built it.

We already have systems. Can you upgrade them instead of starting again?

Usually, yes. Most equine vets we work with keep what's working and upgrade the rest in stages. We move your data across, connect the old and new while we switch and retire the old system only when the new one is proven.
