GaloPlan, the alternative to The Equestrian App with a rider schedule
The Equestrian App is a free international app that connects the horse's circle (coach, vet, farrier, sharers) around its log, with a “Barn Chat” messaging. It is one of the closest to GaloPlan in spirit. Here is what sets them apart.
What The Equestrian App does well
The Equestrian App bets on the **collective**: horse profiles and logs, health tracking, a calendar, a “Barn Chat” messaging, a news feed with photos and connecting the professionals around the horse. It is free (“core app always free”), on iOS, Android and web.
What GaloPlan adds
The main difference is the schedule. GaloPlan offers a real “who rides which day” schedule, the weekly rotation of riders with rest days and exceptions, where The Equestrian App stays on a calendar of appointments and events.
Like The Equestrian App, GaloPlan has a team chat and connects the horse's circle; it adds calendar sync (Google, Apple, Outlook) and an experience designed for share-boarding. The interface is available in English and French.
