Hi, I'm Scott Morvay, founder of BarnPilot Equestrian. I spent years in equestrian sports as a show jumper, but I didn't grow up riding. That meant I had to learn the hard way. I faced the same challenges so many riders, horse owners and parents face every day: making fast decisions about a horse's health, training, performance and overall management.
There were many times I felt frustrated, unsure and alone. I gave my horse everything I had, but I always wished I had better answers, better guidance, and one place to bring everything together.
That is why I created BarnPilot Equestrian.
What we are building
BarnPilot is being built as an equestrian command center. It will help answer questions in real time, read your X-rays and vet reports back to you in plain language so you know what to ask your vet, look at farrier work, review diet and nutrition, track training, and give riders a journal to record how each ride went.
I want to be precise about one thing, because it matters more to me than any feature: BarnPilot does not grade your horse. It is not a veterinarian and it never will be. When it reads a document you gave it, it tells you what that document says, in words you can carry into a conversation with your vet. Whether your horse is well, fit, sound or tired is your call, your trainer's call and your vet's call. It is never ours. Anyone who tells you a piece of software can score an animal it has never touched is selling you a guess with a percentage sign on it.
I'm building this on the cutting edge of what's possible with AI. I've already launched an intelligence platform solving complex problems in global regulatory affairs, and I'm taking everything I've learned and applying it to the equestrian world.
BarnPilot will support English, Spanish, Portuguese, French and German, because this sport is worldwide and the problems remain the same.
Buying the right horse
We're also solving one of the most difficult parts of the industry: buying the right horse. BarnPilot will let users track horse prospects, run record lookups, upload vet records, compare pricing, and think clearly about whether a horse is truly the right fit, or whether something may be missing from the story.
That last part is the honest work. A prospect is not judged against some universal standard of a good horse. He is judged against your goals, your budget and your timeline, which is the only comparison that has ever meant anything.
Safety, and young riders
Most importantly, BarnPilot is being built with safety in mind, especially for young riders and their parents. The app can point you toward support when riders need guidance, and it includes trainer lookup tools that search the public SafeSport and USEF records to help families see what is on the record for someone they may be working with.
Here too I'd rather be careful than impressive. We search a public list and show you what we found. That is not a background check and it is not an endorsement, and a clean result is not a character reference. Anything that matters, confirm directly with USEF or the U.S. Center for SafeSport. I would rather hand a parent an honest starting point than a false sense of safety.
Who it is for
This is an end to end solution for amateurs, professionals, horse owners, and parents of young athletes. The rider who has one horse and lies awake about him. The program running twenty. The parent who does not ride at all and just needs to know which ring, at what time, and whether to pack a cooler.
BarnPilot is not just a horse app.
It is the command center this industry has been waiting for.
