Frequently Asked Questions
Getting Started
What is StudHQ?
StudHQ is a stallion breeding management tool. It helps you track stallions, mare bookings, contracts, payments, collections, and breeding records in one place — and lets you give your vet access without extra cost.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. New accounts get a 14-day free trial with no card required. You'll only be asked to subscribe once the trial ends.
How do I cancel?
Go to Account Settings → Subscription → you can view your plan there. To cancel, contact us at StudHQapp@gmail.com and we'll take care of it.
Setting Up a Stallion
What do I need to add a stallion?
Basic info (name, registration, breed, color, height), your fees (standard, early booking, collection), and your season/early booking caps if you use them. Everything except the name is optional and can be filled in later.
What's the difference between "early booking" and "standard" fees?
Early booking fees apply during a window you set (for example, before a certain date). After that window closes, the standard fee applies. This is optional — you can leave early booking fields blank if you don't use tiered pricing.
Contract Links (Jotform)
What is the trackable share URL for?
When you add a Jotform contract link, StudHQ generates a trackable URL you can send to mare owners instead of your raw Jotform link. It ties clicks back to this stallion so you have a record of who received it.
I don't have a Jotform account — how do I get one?
Jotform offers a free signup at jotform.com. Once you have an account, you can build a simple contract form there (or use one of their templates) and paste the form link into StudHQ. StudHQ isn't affiliated with Jotform — we just support linking to whatever contract tool you use.
Vet Access
How do I give my vet access?
On your stallion's page, use "Invite Vet" and enter their email. They'll get access to that stallion's records only.
Does it cost extra to add a vet?
No. Vet access is free and unlimited — it doesn't count against your plan.
What can my vet see?
Only the stallion(s) you've granted them access to — collection logs, mare bookings tied to that stallion, and (view-only) embryo transfer/ICSI records. They cannot edit your contracts, fees, or account settings.
Collection Log & Frozen Inventory
What does the Collection Log track?
Each collection event — date, time, location, motility, and notes — plus how many straws it produced.
How does the straw inventory work?
Straws on hand go up when you log a collection and go down when straws are used for a booking or an ICSI case. The current count always reflects what you actually have available.
Embryo Transfer / ICSI
What is the Embryo Transfer / ICSI section for?
It tracks ICSI and embryo transfer cases tied to a specific mare's contract — oocyte collection, lab details, transfer date, recipient mare, and pregnancy outcome. When you log straws used for an ICSI case, it automatically deducts from your frozen inventory.
Billing
What happens after my trial ends?
You'll be prompted to choose a plan based on how many stallions you manage. If you don't subscribe, you'll lose access to owner features until you do (your data isn't deleted).
Can I change plans later?
Yes, you can switch plans or cancel anytime from Account Settings.
Account & Data
Can other stallion owners see my data?
No. Every account's stallions, contracts, and records are completely private to that account, except for vets you specifically invite.
How do I update my business info or logo?
Account Settings → Profile. You can update your name, farm name, phone, mailing address, and logo there anytime.
