Every breeder’s records tell a story: the cycle that predicted the perfect breeding window, the ultrasound that confirmed the pregnancy, the foaling notes from the middle of the night, the foal’s first vet visit. Most tools scatter that story across notebooks, calendars, text threads, and Excel. Proper Strides brings it all into one place — connected, searchable, and ready when you need it.

The same tool, scaled to your operation

Whether you have one mare in foal or eighty, the records work the same way.

Individual mare owners

Planning a breeding for the first time. Tracking cycles and behavior alongside the rest of your horse’s care.

Small-scale & recreational breeders

One or two mares a year. Records that pay off across generations — the same horse, five years later, with everything intact.

Commercial breeding operations

Standing stallions, managing multiple mares, coordinating with clients, and running full production programs.

Universities & educational programs

Teaching reproductive management. Tracking academic breeding herds. Sharing records with students, TAs, and instructors.

From the first winking sign to the foal’s first shoes

Heat cycle tracking with smart predictions

Log your mare’s cycle and behavioral signs, and Proper Strides predicts her next estrus window. Plan rides, lessons, shows, and breeding decisions around it.

Equibot reads your observations and surfaces patterns over time, so you always know what to expect. The more cycles you log, the more accurate the predictions become.

Breeding records for every method

Whether you’re doing natural cover, AI with fresh semen, AI with cooled shipped semen, or embryo transfer, Proper Strides tracks every breeding event with the detail you need.

  • Stallion, mare, date, and method
  • Technician, veterinarian, or breeder on file
  • Semen source, batch, and shipping details when relevant
  • Notes on the breeding attempt and follow-up

Every breeding record ties to the mare’s cycle and — when a pregnancy is confirmed — to the resulting gestation and foal.

Gestation tracking, day by day

Once pregnancy is confirmed, Proper Strides tracks gestation from conception through foaling. Ultrasound checkpoints at 14, 30, 45, and 60 days. Vaccination schedules that adjust for pregnancy. Medications, complications, and observations along the way.

Equibot surfaces the milestones that matter and reminds you what’s coming next. No more counting days on your fingers or scrolling through group chats to find that ultrasound date.

Foaling records with lineage built in

When the foal arrives, the record is ready. Foaling date, time, presentation, complications, placenta, and everything else that matters gets logged as it happens.

The foal becomes a full horse in Proper Strides from day one — vaccinations, growth measurements, health records, everything — automatically linked to the dam and sire. Their history starts before their first breath and follows them for life.

Stallion standing operations

If you stand stallions, Proper Strides handles the operational side too. Track semen collections and quality. Manage mare bookings with a digital mare book. Watch a stallion’s get list build automatically from the foals produced across your program.

Invoicing for stud fees, board & collections — we take 0%

Bill mare owners for stud fees, chute fees, cooled or frozen shipping, mare board while she’s on your farm, and every ancillary charge. Powered by Stripe. Proper Strides charges no platform fee and no application fee — you pay Stripe’s standard rates directly, and nothing extra to us.

Every paid invoice ties the service back to the mare’s record automatically. Cover fees show up on the mare’s breeding timeline. Board charges attach to her stay. When the foal arrives, the record is complete — and so is Equibot’s picture of what happened. Full Stripe pricing at stripe.com/pricing.

Multi-mare programs & full operations

Whether you’re breeding two mares a year or eighty, Proper Strides scales. Filter and sort across your entire program. Team share with vets, technicians, and grooms so everyone sees the same records. Generate reports on cycles, breedings, and pregnancies at a program level.

Everything an individual mare owner can do, a full breeding operation can do at scale.

Foal math without the calendar

You

Stella was bred March 14. When’s she due to foal, and what’s her next checkpoint?

Equibot

Based on 340-day equine gestation, Stella’s expected foaling window is February 12–22, 2027. Her next ultrasound checkpoint is at day 45 — April 28. I’ll surface daily check-in reminders 14 days before foaling and flag her cycle log if she returns to estrus, which would suggest the cover didn’t take. Want me to add her rhino-pneumonitis boosters for months 5, 7, and 9 to the calendar?

Built with breeders

Proper Strides’ breeding features exist because active breeders asked for them. Every workflow — from heat tracking through foaling — was shaped by conversations with real operations, from mare owners planning their first breeding to commercial warmblood farms standing multiple stallions. If you’re running a serious breeding operation and want to help shape where breeding tools go next, we’d love to hear from you — get in touch.

Breeding records aren’t a separate tool bolted onto a horse management app. They’re part of the same platform that tracks your mare’s vet visits, farrier appointments, feed schedule, training, and everything else. The Coggins from last month, the ultrasound from yesterday, and the foaling notes from tomorrow all live in the same place. That’s the point — a horse’s records shouldn’t be split by which stage of life she’s in.
