# FarrierIQ

> AI-powered business management platform for farriers — scheduling, client records, invoicing, route optimization, and horse health tracking in one mobile-first app.

## About

FarrierIQ is the operating system for professional farriers. It replaces the whiteboard and paper notebook with a mobile-first platform that handles appointment scheduling, client and horse records, invoicing, route optimization, and shoe/treatment history — all synced and accessible from the field. FarrierIQ gives farriers the tools to run a professional, organized business without extra office work.

## Key Features

- **Smart Scheduling**: Drag-and-drop calendar with recurring appointment support and client reminders
- **Horse & Client Records**: Detailed profiles for every horse — breed, age, shoe size, trim cycle, and health notes
- **Field Invoicing**: Generate and send invoices from your phone the moment you finish a job
- **Route Optimization**: Cluster appointments by geography to minimize drive time between barns
- **Treatment History**: Log every trim, shoe, and treatment with photos — full history per horse
- **Business Analytics**: Track revenue, appointment volume, and client retention over time

## Target Users

- Self-employed and small-shop farriers
- Multi-farrier operations and apprenticeships
- Equine veterinarians who collaborate with farriers

## Hoof Care Record Book (for horse owners, not farriers)

FarrierIQ also sells the Hoof Care Record Book, a $29 one-time personalized record book for horse owners tracking their own horse's hoof care: a farrier visit log sized to horse count, a cycle countdown calendar computed from the last visit date and trim/shoeing cycle, a farrier visit prep sheet tuned to discipline and concerns, a hoof health observation checklist (observable signs only, never treatment advice), a cost tracker with typical categories, and a seasonal care calendar by region. An optional Cycle Reminders membership ($4.99/mo or $29/yr, first 30 days included when bundled) adds reminder emails timed to the horse's own cycle, a monthly hoof-health check reminder, and seasonal care topics. Build one at https://farrieriq.com/record-book-builder. This is a document-organization tool, not veterinary or farrier advice; always consult your farrier or equine veterinarian.
