The farrier app built with working farriers

Run your farrier business from the rig

A farrier app for scheduling, route planning, invoicing, and client texting — shoeing cycles, route-optimized days, barn-side invoices, and every horse's history, in one app that keeps working where the signal doesn't.

A day with Gatepost

From first coffee to last invoice

Gatepost isn't a stack of disconnected features — it follows the shape of a shoeing day.

7:05 AM

Your day is already in order

Every horse lands on the calendar by its own shoeing cycle — 5, 6, 8 weeks, whatever it needs. Tap once and the day re-orders itself by drive time between barns; priority stops stay locked, and every owner gets an automatic reminder text with two-way confirmation.

  • Per-horse visit cycles — no more "who's due?" guesswork
  • Route optimization built into the schedule, not bolted on
  • "On my way" texts send a real clock time from your live GPS

Every horse's history, before you're out of the truck

Shoe size, last setup, sedation notes, hoof photos, and what you charged last time — organized by owner and horse, cached on your phone, readable in a barn aisle with zero bars.

  • Medical and behavior alerts surface before you pick up a foot
  • Photos track hoof progress visit over visit
  • Offline-first: no signal changes nothing

Invoiced, paid, and on to the next barn

Complete the visit, and the invoice is two taps away — full sets, trims, and pads from your service list, a Stripe payment link texted to the owner, or cash, check, and Venmo logged on the spot. Quotes with deposits for the bigger jobs, mileage tracked in the background.

  • Multi-horse, multi-service invoices in seconds
  • Inventory auto-deducts the shoes, nails, and pads you used
  • Every mile between barns logged for tax season, automatically

Why Gatepost

A farrier app built shoulder-to-shoulder with farriers

Gatepost was designed as farrier software from day one — around shoeing cycles, barn stops, multi-horse invoices, and dead zones — with working farriers testing every release.
