Why Vitae
A horse's history is worth money. Today most of it gets lost.
Scattered on paper
Results, vet reports, coverings and sale papers sit with studbooks, vets, show organisers and in old folders. Part of it is lost at every sale.
Hard to trust
A buyer cannot tell what a studbook has confirmed and what is only the seller's word, so a good background is often discounted.
Out of touch
After the foal papers, most studbooks lose sight of their horses: who owns them, where they stand, and what they have achieved.
The app
Photograph it once. It reaches every studbook.
Results, vet checks, coverings, inspections and changes of owner go from a photo to the studbook record without a single form.
◆Verified confirmed at the source◈Documented evidence checked by 7SIS○Declared the owner's word

Your studbook decides
Each studbook the horse belongs to accepts the entry or asks for more. Accepted entries become Verified.
- 5
It joins the digital passport
Verified entries appear on the horse's digital passport, ready to share by link or QR code.
For owners and buyers
A clear background supports a better price.
Every confirmed result, health check and change of owner adds to what your horse can prove. When it is sold, the buyer sees the whole history, entry by entry, and the record goes with the horse.
- For the ownerOne place for the horse's whole life, kept current without paperwork.
- At the saleShare a time-limited link or the horse's QR code.
- For the buyerConfirmed facts, clearly separated from the owner's word. A Verified History Report costs €59 and sits alongside the pre-purchase examination, never replacing it.
- Next ownerThe record continues. Nothing starts again from zero.
For studbooks
Your name on every passport. Your decision on every entry.
Vitae is built around the studbook, to help it move from paper to digital. The studbook stays the issuer and decides what enters its record. Vitae brings it owners, entries and fees that are already checked.
Issued in your name
Your mark leads the digital passport and every report. 7SIS runs the technology behind it.
Nothing changes in your office
Review entries in the Vitae portal, by email, or through your own system via a signed connection.
Your fees, paid in the app
Registration, transfer and inspection fees are paid by the owner in Vitae and routed straight to your own account.
A share of every horse
Your studbook earns on memberships, transfers and history reports for the horses it registers.
Lifetime after-registration services
