There are two ways to import multiple horses at one time to make your onboarding process quick and easy. This article is about our Bulk Import from CSV feature. To learn about importing horses from USEF, click here.
Navigate to the Horses page in your account. If you do not have "full access" to the Horses feature, you will not see any buttons to add or import horses. If you believe this is an error, please contact your account admin.
Select "Import."
Select "CSV" and then "Ok."
Select "Sample CSV File" to download the CSV template for importing horses to BarnManager. This File is formatted to align with the correct fields on the Horse Details page.
Add each horse that you wish to import as a new row. Be sure to pay attention to the formatting Instructions for certain fields (For example Date formats, Type of USEF membership, Sex of Horse, etc).
Save the CSV with your horses' data as a CSV on your device.
Back in BarnManager, click "Select a File" on the CSV Import page.
Select the saved file with your horses' data.
BarnManager will display the data from the CSV. Review it for any highlighted errors. If there are errors, you can fix them in the CSV file, save it, and repeat steps 6 and 7 with the updated file.
Select "Import All," OR select the rows you wish to import and click "Import Selected."
You will see a success message and/or notification of any errors. If you upload a horse with a field in error, BarnManager will still import that horse but it will leave that field blank.
Your horses will now be available for you to view, edit, and manage in BarnManager!
