Recurring round scheduling
Each horse on its own cycle, six weeks, eight weeks or whatever suits, coming due automatically.
Farrier software: round scheduling & horse records
Farriers: rounds planned, every hoof recorded. More shoeing, less paperwork.
Rounds are planned in a paper diary, every horse's quirks live in your head and invoices get written at the kitchen table at 9pm. We build round scheduling, horse records, owner reminders and invoicing for farriers that work from the ute and the paddock. Then we host them and look after them.
Looking for farrier scheduling software that actually fits a round?
Farriers don't work in appointments. They work in rounds. Every horse is due back in six to eight weeks, properties are spread across half the district and one lost shoe can rearrange your whole Tuesday. Generic booking apps assume customers come to you. Trade job apps assume every visit is a one-off. Neither knows a horse from a hatchback.
Wollopit builds custom farrier software around how your round really runs. Horses come due on their own cycle and get grouped by area so you drive less. Every horse has its shoe size, trim notes, photos and temperament on your phone. Owners get a text the day before and an invoice the second you finish. We connect to Xero or MYOB and look after the lot on our own servers, so you can get back under the horse.
01The problems
What we hear from farriers
Does your farrier business have these problems? Here's how we'd fix them.
Most farriers we talk to are flat out and booked weeks ahead. The trouble isn't the work. It's everything around it: the diary, the driving, the phone and the invoices.
- The problemThe round lives in a paper diaryRebooking every horse by hand, counting weeks on your fingers and hoping nobody slips through the cracks until their feet are a mess.How we fix itEvery horse has its own cycle. When it comes due it lands in your schedule automatically, ready to slot into the right round.
- The problemDriving back and forth across the districtMonday out west, Tuesday back past the same road, Wednesday out west again because one owner could only do that day.How we fix itProperties pinned on a map with rounds grouped by area. Horses coming due get suggested for the day you're already nearby.
- The problemHorse notes stuck in your headWhich one kicks, which one's got the dodgy left fore, what size shoe and what pads. Fine until you're covering a mate's round.How we fix itA record for every horse: shoe sizes, trim notes, pads, temperament, handling tips and history, right there on your phone.
- The problemOwners ring at tea time"When are you coming?" "Can you squeeze us in?" "Did you get my message?" The phone never stops and half of it is the same three questions.How we fix itAutomatic texts when a horse is due, a reminder the day before and an on-the-way message. Owners can check and request visits online.
- The problemTurning up to a horse still in the paddockOwner forgot, horse is down the back with mud to its knees and nobody's home to hold it.How we fix itDay-before reminders that ask owners to confirm, catch up and have the horse dry and ready. Unconfirmed visits flagged before you leave home.
- The problemInvoices written at nightTen horses done today, a scrap of paper in the ute and an hour of typing into Xero before bed.How we fix itTap done on each horse and the invoice goes out on the spot, priced from the work you ticked off, synced to Xero or MYOB.
- The problemChasing money for weeksSome pay on the day, some pay next month, some need three reminders and a polite word at the gate.How we fix itCard or tap to pay on site, payment links by text and automatic overdue reminders so you're not the debt collector.
- The problemRemedial work is hard to trackLaminitis cases, corrective shoeing and vet instructions scattered across texts, photos in your camera roll and memory.How we fix itBefore and after photos on each horse's record, vet notes attached and progress you can show the owner and the vet.
- The problemOne property, ten ownersAn agistment yard with horses belonging to different people. Splitting who owes what is a headache every single visit.How we fix itBook the yard as one stop, record each horse and the system bills each owner separately for their own horses.
- The problemA lost shoe blows up the dayUrgent calls land mid-round and you're juggling the diary in your head while holding a hoof.How we fix itOwners lodge a lost shoe or lameness request online. You see it on the map and drop it into today or tomorrow in two taps.

03The systems
The big ones
Your whole round, in your pocket.
These are the systems farriers ask us about most. Each one works on its own and they get properly handy once they're joined up.
Round scheduling
Horses come due. Rounds plan themselves.
Every horse runs on its own cycle and lands in your schedule when it's due. Properties are grouped by area so you see who's close to where you already are, then drag them into the day that makes sense.
- Recurring cycles per horse
- Horses due this week at a glance
- Properties pinned on a map
- Rounds grouped by area
- Stops in driving order
- Lost shoe requests dropped in fast
- Overdue horses flagged
- Block out days for clinics or holidays
- Cover a mate's round with their notes
- Syncs with Google Calendar
Horse records
Every horse remembered, not just the easy ones.
Shoe sizes, trim notes, pads and every quirk of every horse live on your phone. Photos and vet notes sit on the record so remedial cases are tracked properly and anyone covering your round knows what they're walking into.
- Shoe size and type per foot
- Trim and balance notes
- Pads, pour-ins and studs
- Temperament and handling tips
- Before and after photos
- Vet instructions attached
- Full visit history

Owner reminders & portal
Fewer calls. Horses caught and ready.
Owners get a text when their horse is due, a reminder the day before with a confirm button and a heads-up when you're on the way. They can check upcoming visits, pay invoices and request an extra visit without ringing you mid-shoe.
- Due notices by SMS
- Day-before reminders with confirm
- On-the-way texts
- Catch up and keep dry prompts
- Unconfirmed visits flagged
- Owner portal for visits and invoices
- Lost shoe and lameness requests

Invoicing & payments
Invoiced before the ute door shuts.
Tick off what you did on each horse and the invoice is priced and sent on the spot. Agistment yards split themselves across owners and everything lands in Xero or MYOB without retyping.

- Invoice sent when you tap done
- Multi-owner billing at one property
- Tap to pay on site
- Payment links by text
- Automatic overdue reminders
- Travel and call-out fees

- GST handled properly
- Who owes what at a glance
04How it changes
Before and after
A week of rounds, wolloped.
Here's how a normal week on the tools could change. Every farrier runs their round differently, so we map yours first.
Before
- Flip through the diary counting weeks to see who's due
- Drive out west twice because the bookings fell that way
- Try to remember which horse kicks and what size shoes
- Answer ten 'when are you coming?' calls a day
- Turn up to a horse still in the paddock
- Write invoices at the kitchen table at night
After
- Horses due this week are already listed
- Rounds grouped by area with stops in driving order
- Every horse's notes and photos on your phone
- Owners got their reminder text automatically
- Unconfirmed visits flagged before you left home
- Invoiced on the spot and synced to Xero

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 farrier business: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.
- 01
Think
We ride along on a round, sit at the kitchen table where the invoices get done and work out what's actually eating your time.
- 02
Archi-tech
We plan it before writing code: your horses, cycles, properties, owners, pricing, no-signal spots, hosting and cost.
- 03
Build
Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually the round scheduling first, so the diary can retire sooner.
- 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 farriers ask us.
Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.
Can owners book extra visits?
Yes. Owners can request an extra visit for a lost shoe or a problem foot through their portal or a link in their texts. You see it on the map and decide where it fits.
Does it work when there's no signal at the property?
Yes. Your day's horses, notes and photos are saved on your phone before you head out. You can record work and mark horses done offline and it all syncs once you're back in range.
Can it handle agistment yards with lots of owners?
Yes. You book the property as one stop, record each horse and each owner gets their own invoice for their own horses.
Can I share horse records with the vet?
Yes. You can send a vet a link to a horse's record with photos and notes, which is handy for laminitis and other remedial cases.
I already use Xero and Google Calendar. Do I have to switch?
No. We build around what works. Invoices flow into Xero or MYOB and your rounds can show up in Google Calendar. If something's holding you back, we'll show you what replacing it would involve before anything changes.
What about my apprentice or a second farrier?
Each farrier gets their own login and round, with shared horse records so anyone covering knows what they're walking into.
How much does farrier software 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?
We build in stages. Something like round scheduling and horse records can come first so you get a win early, with reminders and invoicing added after.
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 farriers 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.
