Horse breeding operates on different timescales than small animals. Eleven-month gestation. Seasonal cycling. Higher stakes per breeding. Complex ownership arrangements. Sophisticated genetics. High-value sales requiring professional buyer management.

Generic breeding software doesn't account for any of this. BreederHQ was built specifically for how equine breeding actually works.

Everything You Need for Equine Breeding

🧬

Genetics Lab

13+ color genes • 16+ health conditions • COI calculation • Best match finder

Stop guessing what colors your foals will be. Stop worrying about dangerous genetic combinations. BreederHQ's Genetics Lab gives you data-driven breeding decisions.

Coat Color Predictions

See what colors your foals could be before breeding. BreederHQ predicts outcomes for 13+ horse color genes:

  • •Bay, Black, Chestnut (Extension/Agouti)
  • •Palomino, Buckskin, Cremello (Cream)
  • •Dun, Red Dun, Grullo
  • •Gray (progressive graying)
  • •Roan (true roan pattern)
  • •Tobiano, Overo, Sabino (Paint patterns)
  • •Champagne, Pearl
  • •Leopard Complex (Appaloosa)

Health Risk Assessment

Automatically flags dangerous genetic combinations. BreederHQ screens for 16+ inherited conditions:

  • ⚠OLWS/LWO - Lethal White Overo Syndrome
  • ⚠HYPP - Hyperkalemic Periodic Paralysis
  • ⚠HERDA - Hereditary Equine Regional Dermal Asthenia
  • ⚠GBED - Glycogen Branching Enzyme Deficiency
  • ⚠PSSM1 - Polysaccharide Storage Myopathy
  • ⚠MH - Malignant Hyperthermia
  • ⚠WFFS - Warmblood Fragile Foal Syndrome
  • ⚠Plus SCID, CA, LFS, JEB, and more

The system warns you before you make a carrier-to-carrier breeding that could produce affected foals.

Inbreeding Coefficient (COI)

Analyzes up to 10 generations of pedigree to calculate inbreeding risk. Color-coded risk levels help you make informed decisions.

Punnett Square Visualization

See visual inheritance grids showing exactly how genes combine for each trait.

Offspring Simulator

Run Monte Carlo simulations to see what 20 random foals might look like from any pairing.

Best Match Finder

Automatically ranks all your stallions or mares to find the optimal breeding match.

BreederHQ is built for equine breeders who:

  • •Manage multiple mares with overlapping breeding schedules
  • •Care about genetics-colors, health markers, and COI
  • •Coordinate with outside stallions and semen shipments
  • •Stand their own stallions and track breeding revenue
  • •Need organized records for registration and sales
  • •Compete or race and want to track achievements
  • •Sell high-value horses and need professional buyer management
  • •Want planning visibility across seasons
  • •Are tired of scattered systems that don't talk to each other

BreederHQ probably isn't for you if:

  • •You have one mare and breed occasionally
  • •Your current system handles your needs
  • •You're not producing foals regularly
  • •You don't track genetics or health testing

If a simpler system works for your operation, use it. BreederHQ exists for when those tools stop being enough.

Questions equine breeders ask

What coat colors can BreederHQ predict?

BreederHQ predicts outcomes for 13+ horse color genes including Bay, Black, Chestnut, Palomino, Buckskin, Dun, Gray, Roan, Tobiano, Overo, Sabino, Champagne, Cream, and Pearl. You can run simulations to see what 20 random foals might look like from any pairing.

What genetic health conditions does it screen for?

BreederHQ automatically flags dangerous genetic combinations for 16+ inherited conditions including Lethal White Overo Syndrome (OLWS/LWO), HYPP, HERDA, GBED, PSSM1, MH, SCID, CA, LFS, JEB, WFFS, and breed-specific conditions. The system warns you before you make a risky pairing.

Does it handle AI and embryo transfer?

Yes. Track natural cover, AI (fresh, cooled, or frozen), and embryo transfer with full details. Log semen shipment information including carrier, tracking number, arrival condition, and motility assessment.

How does mare reproductive tracking work?

Track heat cycles with per-mare pattern predictions. Log follicle exams including size, ovary location, uterine edema, and ovulation detection. Anchor breeding plans to confirmed ovulation dates for accurate foaling predictions. View complete reproductive history with success rates.

What foaling milestones are tracked?

Auto-generated pregnancy milestones include: 15-day pregnancy check, 45-day heartbeat ultrasound, 90-day development check, 300-day monitoring begins, plus pre-foaling physical signs (udder development, wax, vulvar relaxation). Visual foaling countdown for each pregnant mare.

Can I track show results and racing records?

Yes. Track conformation shows, performance tests, and racing with full details including placements, points, major wins, prize money, track conditions, speed figures, and judge information. Build producing sire/dam records from offspring achievements.

Can it manage stallion syndicate arrangements?

Yes. Track co-ownership with percentage splits, multiple owners per animal, and primary contact designation. Document ownership transfers with effective dates and maintain complete ownership history.

What registries are supported?

Track registrations from AQHA, Jockey Club, APHA, AHA, USEF, and other registries. Store registration numbers with verification status, attach registration papers, and import pedigree data where available.

Does it help manage horse buyers?

Yes. Built-in buyer management with automatic lead scoring (0-100), visual sales pipeline (Inquiry → Viewing → Negotiation → Vet Check → Contract → Closed), email templates, activity logging, and conversion analytics. Professional tools for high-value horse sales.

Can I track stallion revenue?

Yes. Revenue dashboard shows total income per stallion, breeding counts, and average fees. Manage seasonal breeding slots, track payments and outstanding balances, and monitor success rates per stallion.

Does it track frozen semen inventory?

Yes. BreederHQ tracks semen inventory at the dose level with complete chain of custody. Log collections with quality metrics (concentration, motility, morphology), track storage locations (tank, rack, facility), get automatic expiration alerts for batches expiring within 30 days, and maintain a complete audit trail for every dose-whether used for breeding, shipped to mare owners, or transferred between facilities.

How does medication and withdrawal tracking work?

Create a treatment course for any medication (Banamine, Bute, SMZs, Regumate, etc.) with dosage and frequency. Log each dose as it's administered. For competition horses, the withdrawal period countdown recalculates from the most recent dose — not the start date — so your clearance date is always accurate. Visual badges show red (active), amber (clearing soon), or green (cleared).

Can I try it before paying?

Yes. Join our early adopter program for full access. Visit our Coming Soon page for details.
