# Horse details

Use the Horse details page to view or edit any information about a horse, such as its name, location, care schedule, activities, attached files, or financial data.

## What's on this page
- **General**: basic data – name, nickname, withers height, colour, gender, studbook, breeder, date of birth, usage (care, sport, breeding), group, box number and a photo. Buttons here are **Edit**, **Share horse**, **Mark as deceased**, **Mark as not deceased**, **Activate**, **Remove** (or **Remove permanently**) and, if available, **QR code / NFC**.
- **Location** (mobile only): the same stable, box and free‑form location fields that appear in the General tab on larger screens.
- **Activities**: list of past and upcoming activities; tap an entry to view or edit, use the **+** button to add a new activity.
- **Care**: shows the feed schedule (if the horse belongs to a stable or you have feed permission), the *Care settings* tile (vaccination rule, farrier weeks, dentist weeks, deworm weeks, weight, temperature, heart‑rate, respiratory‑rate), the **Care activities** tile and the **Medical documents** tile.
- **Media**: photos, videos and other documents; you can upload new files if you have the appropriate permission.
- **Breeding**: breeding plan for mares; appears only when the breeding module is active (stallions see a message instead).
- **Financial**: invoices, payments and other financial information; visible only when the financial module is enabled and you have view or manage permission.
- **Team**: default rider, groom, farrier, vet and trainer contacts; shown only for horses assigned to a stable.
- **Feed**: (Facility Booking only) a separate tab that displays the feed schema.

## Common tasks
### Edit a horse’s basic information
1. Open the **General** tab.
2. Tap **Edit** (opens the *Horse basic details* form).
3. Change the fields you need and tap **Save**.

### Move a horse to another stable or location
1. Tap **Move horse** (on mobile it’s in the three‑dot menu, on desktop it’s in the General tab).
2. Choose the destination type (other stable, pasture/other location, or external location), select the target, set the **Arrival date** (or **Departure date** for an external move), and press **Save**.

### Share a horse
1. Tap **Share horse**.
2. Optionally set an expiration date and toggle **Include medical documents**.
3. Tap **Create new link**, then press **Copy** to copy the link or share it via Email or SMS.

## Good to know
- The **Breeding**, **Financial** and **Team** tabs only appear when those modules are enabled and you have the required permissions.
- The **QR code / NFC** button is hidden in the Facility Booking version and the native facility app.
- On a phone the stable, box and location fields are shown in a separate **Location** tab; on larger screens they belong to the **General** tab.
- Moving a horse to a location outside its stable marks it as “Temporary away” and lets you optionally attach service bundles.
- Medical documents are only visible if you have permission to view them; the same applies to the feed schedule.

## QR code / NFC {#qr-code}

This form creates a permanent public link for the horse and displays it as a QR code you can attach to the horse’s box.

### Download QR code (PDF)
- Tap to save a PDF with the QR code; you can print it and attach it to the horse’s stable box.

### Write to NFC tag

### After saving
