HorseSync is a Progressive Web Application (PWA) designed specifically for equine veterinarians and practice staff to streamline the creation of horse profiles. With HorseSync, you can quickly capture and upload horse photos, record essential information like microchip numbers, markings, and breed details, and sync everything to your GlobalVetLink account in just a few taps. HorseSync works seamlessly with the GlobalVetLink platform to make creating health certificates and Coggins tests faster, more accurate, and more efficient—whether you’re in the field, at a barn, or back at the clinic.
A Progressive Web Application (PWA) is similar to a website that functions like an app on your phone or computer. You can open it in your browser, but it feels like a regular mobile app because it loads quickly, works offline, and can be added to your home screen without needing to download anything from an app store. PWAs combine the best of websites and apps, allowing you to enjoy the look and feel of an app without the installation requirements. Plus, it’s always up-to-date because it’s hosted online, so you never have to worry about manually updating the app. This makes HorseSync more accessible and easier to maintain.
The new HorseSync PWA is an updated and improved version of the original mobile app, previously available in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. The old mobile app was discontinued effective March 31, 2025. The new PWA offers the same functionality with enhanced features, better performance, improved offline capabilities, and automatic updates. Since it’s a PWA, you access it directly through your web browser at horsesync.globalvetlink.com rather than downloading it from an app store. This means no more manual updates and compatibility with any device that has a web browser.
Getting started with HorseSync is simple. Visit horsesync.globalvetlink.com in your web browser (compatible with phones, tablets, and computers). When you first visit, a prompt will appear at the bottom of your screen, asking if you want to add HorseSync to your home screen or device. Follow those instructions to save HorseSync for easy access. Then, log in using your existing GlobalVetLink credentials (the same username and password you use for your GlobalVetLink account). Once logged in, you can start creating horse profiles immediately.
Yes! HorseSync works offline, which is one of its most valuable features for equine veterinarians. You can capture horse photos and enter all essential information even when you don’t have an internet connection—perfect for farm calls, barn visits, or rural locations with poor cellular service. Once you regain connectivity, HorseSync will seamlessly sync all the data you collected to your GlobalVetLink account. The app will automatically sync when connected, or you can manually tap the “Sync Animals” button to upload your profiles.
When creating a horse profile in HorseSync, you can capture multiple photos for accurate visual identification (required for Coggins tests), enter basic information like the horse’s name (required), and optionally add details such as microchip number, breed, color, markings, date of birth, sex, and other identifying characteristics. The photos and name are the only required fields—you can enter as much or as little additional information as you’d like. This flexibility lets you quickly create profiles in the field and add more details later if needed.
HorseSync is accessible to both veterinarians and practice staff, making it a valuable tool for larger equine practices with multiple team members handling documentation. Anyone on your team with a GlobalVetLink account can log into HorseSync using their credentials. This allows veterinarians to create profiles during farm calls, while technicians or administrative staff can help with profile creation at the clinic. This collaborative approach reduces bottlenecks and distributes the workload more efficiently across your entire team.
HorseSync syncs directly with your GlobalVetLink account, creating a seamless workflow from field data collection to certificate creation. After you create a horse profile in HorseSync and sync it, the horse appears in your GlobalVetLink account immediately. When you’re ready to create a health certificate, EIA/Coggins test, or EECVI, all the information and photos you captured in HorseSync are already there—no need to re-enter data or retake photos. This integration eliminates duplicate data entry, reduces transcription errors, and streamlines compliance documentation for faster and more reliable results.
HorseSync delivers multiple benefits that improve your practice efficiency:
- Enhanced Accuracy – Direct uploads eliminate transcription errors and improve profile reliability.
- Exceptional Efficiency – Minimize time on paperwork to maximize patient care time.
- Anywhere Accessibility – Create profiles anywhere, with or without an internet connection.
- Team Collaboration – Multiple staff members can contribute to profile management.
- Time Savings – Capture information in the field and complete certificates at your convenience later.
- Reduced Administrative Burden – Spend less time on data entry and more time with horses.
These benefits translate to faster turnaround times, fewer errors, and better service for your clients.
