Horse Check-in Comparison — User Guide

This tool compares the vet check-in list (HorseApp Excel export) with the horses entered in Equipe, and answers one question:

Does the vet's arrival list match the show's entry list?

It shows at a glance:

  • horses examined by the vet but not entered in Equipe;
  • horses entered in Equipe but not yet examined.

Horses are matched on their FEI ID.

Before you start

  • Open the show in Equipe and launch the extension from there.
  • Export the check-in list from HorseApp as an Excel file (.xlsx).
  • Keep the HorseApp export as it is: do not move, add or delete columns, the tool reads them by position.

If the page has been open for a long time, reload it from Equipe before uploading the file.

1. Compare

  1. Click Choose file and select the HorseApp .xlsx export.
  2. Upload the file.
  3. The tool loads the horses entered in Equipe and shows a single comparison table.

2. Read the table

Each horse appears on one line, coloured according to its situation:

Colour Situation What to do
White In the vet list and in Equipe Nothing — all good
Red Examined by the vet, not found in Equipe Check the horse's FEI ID in both systems, or whether the horse is actually entered
Yellow Entered in Equipe, not in the vet list The horse has not been examined yet, or was examined under another FEI ID

For each horse you see the FEI ID, the name, the date of the examination, the vet who examined it, and the CSI competitions it is entered in.

  • Only competitions whose name contains CSI are listed. A grey cell means the horse has no CSI competition.
  • For yellow lines, the examination columns show Not present in Excel.

3. Summary

Below the table, five figures sum up the check:

Figure Meaning
Total horses in Excel Horses in the vet list
Total horses in Equipe Horses entered in the show
Matching entries Horses found in both
Excel only Red lines
Equipe only Yellow lines

On a normal show the last two figures are small. A large difference usually means FEI IDs entered incorrectly, not missing horses.

4. Filter by competition

Type in the filter box to show only the horses entered in matching CSI competitions. The filter applies to the competitions column only (not to names or FEI IDs) and ignores upper/lower case.

Examples:

  • W2 — horses entered in week 2 classes
  • CSIYH — young horse classes
  • CSI3 — three-star classes

Reset Filter shows all horses again.

5. Export to PDF

Click Export to PDF to download the table (horse-comparison.pdf, A4 landscape). A horse's line is never split across two pages.

  • Horses hidden by the filter are not included: filter first, then export to get one vet list per competition.
  • The summary figures are not included in the PDF.

FAQ

A horse is red but I know it is entered. Its FEI ID is different in HorseApp and in Equipe. Correct it in the wrong system and run the comparison again.

A horse is yellow but the vet says it was examined. It was probably recorded in HorseApp with another FEI ID, or the export was made before its examination. Export again from HorseApp.

The file is refused. Only .xlsx files are accepted. Export again from HorseApp without modifying the file.

The upload fails after the page has been open for a while. The session from Equipe has expired. Reopen the extension from Equipe and upload again.

The PDF does not contain all horses. The filter is active: click Reset Filter, then export again.
