# Care

The Care page shows the latest and upcoming care tasks (farrier, deworming, vaccinations, etc.) for all your horses so you can keep them healthy and schedule new care.

## What's on this page
- **Care**: a table with one row per horse. The left side shows the horse name, usage badges and an **Inactive** label if the horse is hidden. The columns to the right represent each **Care** activity type (e.g., Farrier). For each horse you see the date of the last completed activity, a plus‑icon if no record exists, a warning icon if the last entry wasn’t marked as done, and a badge that reads **Planned for today**, **Next** date or **Overdue**.
- **Filter**: opens a dialog where you can filter horses by category, group, gender, age, location, inactive status and by stable (if you have more than one). The button shows a badge with the number of active filters.
- **Search**: the field with placeholder "Search by Name, UELN or Chipnr..." lets you find a horse by name, UELN or chip number.
- **Navigation arrows**: appear left and right of the activity‑type header when there are more care types than fit on the screen. Tap or swipe to scroll through the columns.
- **Pull‑to‑refresh**: on mobile, pull the list down to reload the data.

## Common tasks
### View the last and next care dates for a horse
1. Find the horse’s row in the table.
2. Look under the relevant care‑activity column. The displayed date is the last time the task was done.
3. A red warning triangle means the activity was not marked as done. A badge **Planned for today**, **Next** date or **Overdue** shows when the next care is due.

### Mark a care activity as finished
1. In a cell that shows a warning triangle, click the cell.
2. The floating card opens; press **Mark as finished**.
3. The table updates with the new completion date.

### Plan a new care activity
1. Click an empty cell (plus icon) or any cell where you want to schedule a task.
2. In the floating card, tap **Plan**.
3. The “Plan care activity” modal opens – choose date, time, notes and click **Save**.
4. The new activity appears as a **Next** badge in the table.

## Good to know
- Only care activity types that belong to the **Care** category and are not hidden appear as columns.
- The table initially loads only active horses (those with a stable). After you apply a filter, all horses (including inactive) are fetched, which may cause a short loading delay.
- The **Inactive** label and the "Show inactive" filter are visible only if you have rights to view hidden horses.
- The **Mark as finished** and **Plan** actions are shown only when you have permission to edit activities; otherwise those buttons are hidden.

## Plan care activity {#plan-care-activity}

Schedule a care task for a horse.

### Activity
- Choose the care activity type (e.g., Farrier, Deworming). This determines which care column the entry will appear in.

### Contact
- Optionally select a contact (owner, vet, farrier) to link to the activity.

### Note
- Add any extra information or instructions; it will be saved with the activity.

### Recurrence (optional)
- Enable recurrence to have the care repeat automatically (for example, every 6 weeks).

### After saving
- The new care activity shows up in the horse’s care overview and in the List, Day and Calendar screens.
