Health reminders — worming, vaccinations & farrier
Set a routine once and Nose reminds the right people before it's due — and follows up if it slips.

Worming, vaccinations and the farrier all run on a cycle: do it, then do it again in so many weeks. Nose keeps that cycle for you. You record when it was last done and how often it repeats — from then on, everyone responsible for the horse gets told before the next one is due, and told again if the date slips past.
Nobody has to remember. Nobody has to check a wall calendar.
Setting one up
On the horse's Care tab, add a health routine. Each one needs three things:
- What — worming, vaccination, or farrier.
- How often — the interval in days. It comes pre-filled with the usual figure (90 for quarterly worming, 365 for an annual booster, 42 for a six-week shoeing cycle), so for most yards you can leave it alone. Change it to whatever you and your vet actually do.
- When it was last done — the anchor the next date is counted from.
That last one matters most. Without a last-done date there is nothing to count from, so the routine stays silent — it won't remind anyone and it won't appear in the dues list. The card flags it, so if a routine looks suspiciously quiet, that's the first thing to check.
When the reminders go out
Different jobs need different notice. Booking a vet takes longer than catching your farrier on his next round, so worming and vaccinations get an early warning as well as a final one.
| Routine | Early warning | Final warning |
|---|---|---|
| Worming | 14 days before | 7 days before |
| Vaccination | 14 days before | 7 days before |
| Farrier | — | 7 days before |
If the date passes and nobody has recorded the routine, all three are chased twice more: 3 days late, then 7 days late.
Each of those is sent once. You won't get the same message twice, and the two "before" reminders won't both land on the same day.
If a routine is set up late — say you add a farrier cycle four days before it's due — you still get one timely reminder rather than a burst of overdue ones for a date nobody knew about.
Follow-ups stop after 30 days. Past a month, an unrecorded routine isn't something another email will fix; it stays visible on the care board until someone deals with it.
Who gets told
Everyone actually responsible for the horse:
- The payer on an active boarding contract.
- Every owner and lessee linked to the horse who has a Nose account. If you share a horse, you all hear about its worming — health isn't kept to whoever settles the invoice.
- The stable's admins, for horses the stable itself owns, and for any horse with nobody else to tell. School horses are never left without a reminder.
Parents managing a child's account receive their copies too.
How they arrive
By email and, if you've allowed notifications on your phone or browser, as a push notification. Each message names the horse, the routine and the date, and links straight to the right place — the care board for stable staff, your own horse page for owners.
Messages go out at a civil hour: between 9am and 9pm in the stable's own timezone, never in the middle of the night.
Marking one done
When the job is done, open the horse's Care tab (or the dues list on the care board) and mark the routine done. Nose moves the last-done date forward, works out the next date from your interval, and the whole reminder cycle re-arms for it automatically. There's nothing to reset.
Expiring documents
The same system watches horse documents that carry an expiry date — passports, vaccination certificates, insurance. Those get one reminder 30 days before they expire, because renewing paperwork takes real-world time. Extending a document's validity re-arms it, so you get a fresh reminder for the new date.
Turning them off
Each person controls their own. In your account's notification settings, the Boarding — care & services switch covers health reminders. Turning it off silences your copy only — it doesn't stop anyone else being reminded, and it doesn't stop the horse appearing on the stable's care board.
Good to know
- Health reminders need the stable's boarding module switched on.
- A routine with no last-done date never reminds anyone. It's the single most common reason a reminder "didn't arrive".
- The care board always shows the full picture, including anything overdue — the reminders are a nudge, not the record.
- Changing an interval takes effect from the next date onward; it doesn't re-send reminders for dates already passed.
