Keep your horse's profile up to date, or delete a horse you no longer ride. This article is for horse owners: co-riders on a shared horse can't edit its profile.
Before you start
Only a horse's owner can edit or delete it. The owner is usually the person who added the horse, and is marked with a yellow crown in the horse's Team section.
If someone shared a horse with you, ask its owner to change the profile. To leave a shared horse, see Share a horse with co-riders (Horse Team).
Edit a horse profile
To edit a horse profile:
Go to the Profile tab and tap the horse.
On iPhone, tap the three dots in the top-right corner, then tap Edit. On Android, tap the pencil icon in the top-right corner.
Change the details you want, then save your changes.
The horse profile now shows the new details. You can change details such as the name, type, breed, birth date, gender, main discipline and picture. Horse weight and equipment weight are at the bottom of the horse profile. To see what each field does, see Horse profile fields and horse types.
If you change the horse type
A new horse type applies only to trainings you record after the change: earlier trainings keep their gaits. For example, if you change a horse's type to Icelandic Horse, only new trainings can show tölt. Equilab detects tölt only for horses with the type Icelandic Horse.

Before you delete a horse, check what happens to its data:
