Features

Every step of equine ID,
thought through.

EquiSketch isn't a generic form-builder bolted onto a horse picture. It's purpose-built for the workflow Irish vets actually do — from the yard, to the laptop, to the Passport Issuing Organisation's inbox.

Workflow

Two ways to mark a chart

Designed for the realities of the yard, the lorry-park and the dispensary.

Upload and describe

Photograph your existing hand-drawn paper chart. EquiSketch checks the scan quality, then writes the eight FEI identification regions for you in seconds.

Edit, sign, accept

Review the description per region with confidence chips next to each line. Edit anything. Capture your signature. Accept — the chart is filed and versioned.

Intelligence

Identification AI, tuned for equine practice

FEI-correct vocabulary. Anatomically aware. Confidence-graded for review.

Eight regions, every chart

EquiSketch reads the marking chart and returns the eight FEI identification regions, with a confidence score on each one so you know where to glance and where to look closely.

Use your own AI account (optional)

Have your own AI account already? Plug it in from Settings and EquiSketch will use it instead of ours. Optional — most vets never need to.

FEI vocabulary lock

The prompt embeds the FEI standards: star / stripe / blaze / snip / flesh-mark, whorl types, anatomical limb terms (no 'sock' or 'stocking'), Prophet's Thumb, zebra marks, brands.

Confidence-graded review

Each field gets a 0–100 confidence chip — green ≥90%, yellow ≥70%, red <70%. The overall banner tells you whether to skim, review carefully, or re-scan.

Trust

Compliance, audit, control

Built so PIOs trust the records and inspectors find them.

Version history on every accept

A snapshot of every accepted chart is stored alongside who edited what. You can answer 'who changed this and when' instantly.

Audit log on every action

Login, view, edit, accept, download, PIO search — every action writes an audit entry with IP, user-agent and details. Admins filter by action type.

Role-based access control

Four roles: Vet, PIO, Practice Admin, System Admin. Strict tenant isolation — PIOs only ever see their own chart type, vets only their own charts.

Built for compliance

Passwords are securely hashed (bcrypt). Microchip numbers and saved AI keys are encrypted at rest. Sign-in uses short-lived, HTTP-only sessions, and all traffic is encrypted in transit. Every access is recorded in a full audit trail.

Experience

Works wherever you do

Built for the iPad on the yard at 7am and the laptop at 9pm.

Practice stamp + signature auto-applied

Upload your stamp once and sign each chart on screen. Stamp, signature, date, vet number and registration number auto-populate every chart you accept.

Six Irish PIO chart types

HSI, Weatherbys, Connemara P.B.S., Leisure Horse Ireland, Irish Warmblood (WSI), Irish Harness Racing Association — all wired in, configurable templates.

Print-ready PDF export

Every accepted chart renders to an A4 print-ready layout — silhouette, descriptions, metadata, stamp, signature. Ctrl/Cmd-P → Save as PDF for paper backup.

Retrieval

The PIO portal

PIOs receive a clean, scoped, audit-trailed retrieval experience.

Microchip search

Type the chip — partial matches return matching charts of your chart type only. No risk of cross-PIO leakage.

Read-only chart view

PIOs can view and download accepted charts. They cannot edit, comment, or modify — keeping the vet's record canonical.

Per-access audit trail

Every PIO search, view, and download is logged with user, IP, and timestamp — both for your compliance, and theirs.

Admin-controlled accounts

PIO accounts are never self-registered. The system admin provisions each PIO and scopes them to their chart_type.

Platform

Operations & extensibility

Modular from day one — built to grow with the practice and the standards.

Live build tracker

Every feature in the spec is tracked on an in-app kanban with state (Done / Partial / Not started / Blocked) and admin notes. Transparency built in.

Failed-scan reporting (roadmap)

When an image is rejected for quality, the failure reason is logged. Roadmap: an admin dashboard surfacing trends to drive practice training.

Future-proof AI

EquiSketch isn't locked to one AI engine — as accuracy improves, we move with it, and you get the upgrade automatically.

S3-ready storage abstraction

Files (stamps, sources, canvas snapshots, signatures) live behind a storage service. Move from local disk to S3 / Azure Blob without code changes.

Now live for accepted charts

After the chart, the full veterinary report — drafted in seconds.

Accept any chart and tap Vetting report → Draft. The AI writes a structured identification & examination note in your letterhead, using your registration and practice details, with severity-adapted clinical comments. You edit, finalise, print or PDF.

Your template, learned

Upload one or two previous reports. EquiSketch fingerprints your house style, headings, sign-off language and table layouts.

Severity-adapted comments

A 6-year-old sound gelding gets routine wording. A subtle hindquarter atrophy gets a precise, qualified clinical note.

PDF, DOCX, or signed email

Export to the format your client expects — or auto-attach the signed PDF to the PIO submission email.

Audit-grade

Every draft and edit is versioned and signable, just like the chart itself. Defensible in dispute.

Early access

We're piloting the Vetting Report Drafter with three Irish practices in Q3 2026. Practices on the Clinic and Enterprise tier get first access at no additional charge. Request a pilot slot →

Ready when you are
