Weather
Saddle shows the weather at your barn, so you can plan turnout, rides, and blanketing without leaving the app. The Weather tile sits on your barn's home screen in the Barn tab — it shows the current temperature and conditions at a glance, and tapping it opens the full forecast.
Check current conditions
- Open the Barn tab.
- Find the Weather tile. It shows the current temperature, a drawing of the conditions (sun, moon and stars, rain, or storm), and — if you keep horses at this barn — one of your horses standing in the paddock wearing tonight's recommended blanket.
- Tap the tile to open the full forecast.
The forecast opens with a large hero view: the current temperature, the conditions, today's high and low (shown as H: and L:), and your barn's location.
See the hourly forecast
If you're on the Pro plan (see Account and profile), the forecast includes an hourly section: a flowing temperature curve for the next 24 hours, starting at Now, so you can see when the day peaks and when it cools off. Hour labels follow your time format preference (12-hour or 24-hour).
See the daily forecast
Every forecast includes a multi-day outlook. Each day shows:
- The day name (Today is highlighted)
- A conditions icon
- A temperature bar spanning that day's low to high, colored from cool blues to warm oranges
- A precipitation chance when rain or snow is likely
Weather alerts
When a weather alert is active for your barn's area — a storm warning, for example — a warning badge appears under the current conditions in the forecast. It shows the most severe alert, with a +N count if more than one alert is active.
Blanket guidance
The forecast includes a blanket card that connects the weather to your horses:
- Each of your horses at this barn is listed with tonight's blanket recommendation — which blanket to put on, or that no blanket is needed.
- A conditions strip shows the conditions behind tonight's pick: the overnight or daytime low (for example, "Tonight's low at 4am"), plus the precipitation chance and the wind when it's strong enough to matter.
- Tap the settings entry on the card to manage each horse's blanket wardrobe and temperature thresholds.
- If none of your horses are at this barn yet, the card offers to assign one — pick an existing horse or create a new one right there.
See Blankets for setting up wardrobes and thresholds.
Change your temperature units
Weather follows your Units preference (Fahrenheit or Celsius) and your time format — set both from the Profile tab; see Account and profile. Every weather surface updates immediately when you switch.
Why weather might not appear
- Your barn needs a location. Forecasts come from your barn's location. If the tile says "Unavailable", check that the barn has its location set (see Barns).
- You're offline. Weather needs a connection. The tile shows "Unavailable" until you're back online — pull down in the forecast to refresh.
Tips
- The temperature number is color-tinted by how hot or cold it is — a quick read before you even see the digits.
- All your horses at a barn share the same weather, so the blanket card's conditions strip applies to every horse listed.
- The forecast supports pull-to-refresh if you want the very latest readings.
