Managing horses is not an easy task and especially with all of the digital demands these days, it can feel overwhelming with keeping the day-to-day schedule in check along with communicating to owners, riders, trainers, grooms and support staff. Thanks to Hippovibe, an innovative horse tech provider, you can manage it all digitally, from anyplace, anywhere.

Based in Tielt-Winge, Belgium and Wermelskirchen, Germany, Hippovibe employs a team that is actively involved in the horse industry. “We have the background and experience of owning horses, stables and competing on the international level in eventing, dressage and show jumping,” shared Johanna Voelkel from Hippovibe.

The Core Purpose
The online and app functionality of Hippovibe helps riders, grooms and stable managers to work more efficiently in the stable because it consolidates all of the information into one place. “You will no longer have to worry about records or information getting lost or miscommunication within your team,” said Johanna. “We have a web application and an app, so that you can use Hippovibe on all devices, your computer, tablet or smartphone.”

Feature Rich – from Task to Health Management and More
“No whiteboard is needed, thanks to the task planning feature of Hippovibe,” said Johanna. This functionality allows you to plan your horses’ daily activities and add all sorts of information, from who should execute the job, timing/duration, order and pertinent notes (no carrots, only apples). 

Tasks are assigned to specific users so everyone knows what they need to do and what has already been done. “Another advantage I like to point out and remind users of is that you can plan ahead and always use the tool as a reference point to view historical tasks,” highlighted Johanna. 

Another important feature of the Hippovibe solution is that it offers you the ability to store all of the related information in regards to your horses’ health on the system. Now you don’t have to guess when the next vaccination is due or write down on the paper calendar that gets stained with hoof oil when the next shoeing is scheduled. “Our users find this to be one of their favorite features – since it stores all historical health data and provides a more holistic view of their horses’ health profile,” shared Johanna.

Ideal for planning your next competition or training, Hippovibe has built into its solution a calendar system that gives everyone on your team an overview of what’s coming up next.

What’s Next?
“We continuously develop and improve our solution based on the feedback of our customers,” stated Johanna. “We are about to release a push notification system, so that you don’t even have to open the application every time to get updates, which will be a game-changer for keeping everyone up-to-date, in real-time.” 

“Hippovibe is the one source to make your barn as efficient as possible. As most of us are used to working digitally in our every day life it makes sense to use this technology to better manage our horses. We are excited to offer a more modern alternative.” 

Adopting Horse Tech
The equine industry has already started becoming more digital - as seen in making your entries for shows or viewing starter lists. “I think in five years everything will become more digital in the equine industry as it will mirror our everyday consumer habits,” said Johanna.

Spreading Awareness of Hippovibe
“We mainly market Hippovibe on Facebook and Instagram which gives us the ability to address potential customers from all over the world and analyze the results.”
