Managing a professional stable is complex. Horses need personalized care, teams need coordination, and costs need controlling — all while keeping performance high. That’s why Equicty launched Hoofy AI, the world’s first AI-powered stable assistant designed specifically for equestrian professionals.
But here’s the truth: AI isn’t magic. The results you get from Hoofy depend on how you use it. The better your data and the smarter your prompts, the more powerful Hoofy becomes.
This guide walks you through Hoofy’s capabilities, practical prompt examples, and best practices so you can start unlocking its full potential today.
Step 1: Understand What Hoofy AI Can (and Cannot) Do
Hoofy is designed to support equestrian professionals — stable owners, trainers, breeders, veterinarians, farriers, and administrators.
Here’s what you can expect today:
Personalized insights: Hoofy analyzes your Equicty data and external information to give tailored recommendations.
Stable-wide guidance: From training schedules to health monitoring, Hoofy helps you make smarter decisions.
Step 3: Go Beyond Data — Hoofy’s External Knowledge
Hoofy isn’t limited to just your stable records. It can also tap into external knowledge to help you make informed decisions.
For example, you can ask:
“What are the latest scientific treatments for navicular disease?”
“Which vets in my region specialize in respiratory issues?”
“What will the weather be like at my stable tonight?”
This makes Hoofy a broader equestrian knowledge assistant, giving you context and advice beyond your own records.
Step 4: Master the Art of Writing Prompts
Hoofy works like any AI assistant: the better your question, the better the answer.
General Guidelines
Be specific
✅ “What is Bella’s training performance over the past three months?”
❌ “How’s Bella doing?”
Give context
✅ “Since we changed Bella’s training plan in August, how has her stamina improved?”
Ask for insights, not just data
✅ “What strategies can reduce my costs by 10% without lowering performance?”
Use comparisons and scenarios
✅ “What are the pros and cons of scheduling farrier visits every 4 weeks vs every 6 weeks?”
Step 5: Example Prompts to Try
Here are ready-to-use prompts (customize to your stable’s needs):
Horse Health
“What vaccinations or health checks are due for my stable in the next month?”
“Compare Bella’s current health data to her last 6 months. Are there warning signs I should watch for?”
“What are the key risks if I increase Stormy’s training intensity by 20%?”
Training & Performance
“Based on Apollo’s training history, what’s the optimal schedule for the next 8 weeks before his competition?”
“What performance changes have occurred since Stella’s recovery from her injury?”
“Can you suggest a recovery plan for Blazer after his last event?”
Daily Operations & Costs
“Generate a weekly task list for my grooms based on horse health and training schedules.”
“Which farrier appointments are overdue, and which horses are affected?”
“Summarize all expenses from the past quarter and suggest areas to reduce costs.”
External Knowledge
“What’s the latest research on tendon injury rehabilitation in sport horses?”
“Show me upcoming competitions within 100 km of my stable.”
“What’s the weather forecast for this weekend’s training sessions?”
Image Analysis (Beta)
Upload a photo: “Does this swelling on Bella’s leg indicate a potential injury risk?”
Upload a hoof image: “Can you spot any abnormalities in Stormy’s hoof shape?”
Step 6: Build a Routine With Hoofy
Consistency is key. Here’s how to make Hoofy part of your daily workflow:
Daily check-ins: Quick health, training, and task updates.
Weekly reviews: Strategy sessions on costs, training outcomes, and vet care.
Monthly insights: Track long-term progress, expenses, and breeding results.
Pre-event prep: Ask Hoofy for readiness assessments before competitions.
Step 7: Limits, Support & Feedback
Hoofy is powerful, but it’s important to set expectations:
Some answers may not be available if your data is incomplete or permissions are restricted.
Hoofy will only respond to relevant horse and stable management topics.
For best results, use clear, detailed prompts.
If you don’t get the response you expected, you can report it directly from the chat. These reports go straight into our support system, helping the team improve Hoofy faster and make it even smarter over time.

Hoofy AI isn’t just another chatbot. It’s the first AI assistant built specifically to understand the unique challenges of running a professional stable — combining your Equicty data with external knowledge, image analysis, and voice interaction to give you smarter insights, anywhere, anytime.
By preparing your data, mastering prompts, and making Hoofy part of your routine, you’ll save time, reduce costs, and most importantly, ensure your horses thrive.
