A riding journal built around what you learned.
Write one takeaway after the ride, or the whole lesson when you have time. The horse, instructor, skills, photos, and video stay beside it, so the note still makes sense months later.
- Capture
- A note takes seconds. A few words are enough, and groundwork counts too.
- Connect
- Link the horses, instructor, skills, tags, photos, and videos.
- Return
- Open any horse, instructor, or skill and the right notes are there.
Every horse, every instructor
Every ride, in one timeline.
Add all the horses you ride and every instructor you learn from. Open a horse to see everything you have written about it, or an instructor to read back every lesson together.
Each month gets its own recap: riding days, activities, horses, and skills, ready to share as an image.

Know each horse
A personal playbook for every horse you ride.
Keep a profile for each horse, then write down what works, what to watch for, and how to warm up. Read it before you get on, especially on a lesson horse, a share horse, or a different horse every week.


Bring in the videos you already have
Turn old ride videos into notes.
Pick the riding videos already on your phone. ReinTrace sorts them into sessions by date, you set the horse and occasion once, and every session becomes a note you can find by horse, instructor, or skill.
- Import many clips in one pass
- Split or merge sessions before you save
- Watch any clip in a full player with a scrubber and full screen

Your Skill Map
See what you are building between lessons.
Track the skills you are working on, from Want to Explore to Comfortable. Pin your current focus, add your own skills, and open any skill to see the rides behind your progress.
Rider Pro
Slow it down. Mark the moment.
At full speed you miss what your legs and hands really did. Play a clip at half or quarter speed, mark the instant the canter finally came through, add a note like “outside rein,” and zoom into the saved still. The still stays in your journal even if the video leaves your phone.
Every horse's care in one place
Log farrier, vet, dentist, deworming, vaccination, bodywork, and saddle-fit visits for each horse, with notes and photos, and see when each was last done.

Riding journal questions, answered.
What is ReinTrace?
ReinTrace is a riding journal for iPhone and Android. It keeps lesson notes, instructor feedback, the horses you ride, the skills you are working on, photos, and riding videos together, so what you learned is still useful before the next ride.
Who is ReinTrace for?
Anyone who wants to remember what they are learning in the saddle: lesson riders on school horses, riders with a share or leased horse, horse owners, competitors, instructors, and professionals.
How can I remember what my riding instructor said?
Write a line or two right after the lesson and link it to the instructor and the horse. Later, open that instructor to read back every lesson together, or open the horse to see everything you have written about it.
How does ReinTrace help when I ride more than one horse?
Add every horse you ride. Each horse has its own page with every note about it, and a Playbook for what works, what to watch for, and how to warm up. It helps most with school horses, share horses, client horses, or a different horse every week.
Can I import riding videos I already have?
Yes. Choose the riding videos already on your phone and ReinTrace groups them into sessions by date. Set the horse and occasion once, split or merge sessions if you need to, and each session becomes a note. Import is free.
Can I move my riding journal to a new phone?
Yes. Export & Backup saves your whole journal to a file or folder you choose, and Restore from Backup brings it back on the new phone, including between iPhone and Android. It is free.
Does ReinTrace back up my riding videos?
Your videos stay in your phone’s photo library, and ReinTrace links to them instead of making a copy. When you run Export & Backup, you can choose to include the original videos in the copy you save.
Is ReinTrace available on iPhone and Android?
Yes. ReinTrace is available for iPhone on the App Store and for Android on Google Play.
Does ReinTrace require an account or internet connection?
No. ReinTrace works without an account and keeps your riding journal on your device. You can write, organize, and review it without a network connection.
Which languages does ReinTrace support?
ReinTrace supports 12 languages: English, Español, Français, Deutsch, Português, Nederlands, Italiano, Svenska, 简体中文, 繁體中文, 日本語, and Polski.
Is ReinTrace free?
Yes. ReinTrace is free to download, and the riding journal is free: notes, horses, instructors, skills, photos, the video player, video import, Export & Backup, and the monthly recap. Rider Pro is optional and adds slow-motion playback, marked video moments with saved stills, and a care log for every horse. Try it free for 7 days, subscribe monthly, or make one Lifetime purchase that never renews.
Your learning, kept.
Capture one detail from your next lesson and give it somewhere useful to live. Back up your whole journal to a file whenever you like, and restore it on a new phone.
