Horse breeding software alternatives: what to check, and where BreedingPro fits

A breeding season is hundreds of dated events per mare, and a missed one costs a cycle. Here is what to check before you choose breeding software, what BreedingPro does, and the other systems worth comparing.

Who this is for

Showsafe BreedingPro is built for breeding farms, stallion stations, mare care facilities, reproduction practices and the breeders who manage a season from the first heat to the foal. If that is you, the checklist below is the one to take into every demo, including ours.

What to check before you choose horse breeding management software

  • Does it track heat cycles, exams, breedings and pregnancy checks on the mare's own record, with dated milestones and reminders?
  • Can it manage semen collection, shipments and frozen inventory by straw and tank?
  • Does it do contracts, stud fees and invoicing, or is billing a separate system?
  • Do mare owners get a portal to see their own mare and pay?
  • Does it handle pedigrees and foaling records, and export them?
  • Is there a free trial, and what are the horse limits per plan?

Questions

What is the best horse breeding software for a small breeder?

For a few mares you need cycle tracking, dated milestones with reminders and foaling records without paying for a stallion station's features. BreedingPro's Breeder plan covers 10 horses for $12.99 a month. Stallion stations and farms shipping semen should compare the Farm and Pro plans with StallionApp, ArcStallion and BreederHQ.

Does breeding software replace my reproduction vet's records?

No. It keeps the farm's record of what happened and when, and gives your vet and the mare owner the same dated view. Clinical decisions stay with the veterinarian.

How much does horse breeding software cost?

Published prices run from about $10 a month for a few mares to several hundred for a commercial stallion station. BreedingPro is $12.99, $34.99 or $79.99 a month by horse count, with yearly plans and a 14-day free trial.
