This is the most important part of EquisoftLive. This window allows the user to maintain all the salient information on each horse.

Horse Search

If horses already exist in the system, they are shown in snap-shot format with:

  • Horse Name
  • Colour
  • Sex
  • Horse Class

You can view the list in a different sort order by clicking on the four headings and can search the horse database by entering a few chars in the horse name box. The system will display all horses found with your selection any where in the horse name. Additional Horse searches can be done by activating the 'show filters', and then selecting a Horse Class & or Horse Sex etc. The snap-shot viewed can be changed by using the ‘Show Filters’. The filter allows you to trim the records by name/colour/sex and horse class.

The system has 2 horse type records - Pedigree and Full

In charging out all keep and other charges, the system will check the effective ownership date against the charge date and allocate the charges accordingly to the appropriate owner at that date.

Step – 3 Review and Save

The system will display a summary of the wizard inputs for the horse, to complete, press the ‘Finish and Save’ button.

Advanced Ownership Settings

At Step 1 When using Advanced billing options, only Keep % and Charge % are used to calculate billing amounts. Use this option if you need to have different % values for Keep/Board and other charges. The Owned % will be ignored in this scenario.
