โ€” 01 / WHAT IT DOES

Everything a secretary needs, nothing they don't.

โ‹

Runs in your browser. That's it.

No software to download. No license to renew on a separate vendor's website. No "what version of macOS are you on?" Sign in from any laptop, any tablet, anywhere with a connection. Show day works on the phone in your pocket.

โŒ˜

Real-time writers โ€” or paper, your call.

Print control sheets with a QR code and let writers enter placements live from a phone or tablet as the judge calls them โ€” every result lands in your system the moment it's typed. Prefer paper? Print the same sheets, write by hand, enter them after. Either way, no transcription headaches, no end-of-day paper shuffle, no "wait, what did the judge say in Mini Rex Senior Bucks?"

Nobody else does this
โœฆ

Bulk entry that respects your time.

One row per animal. Check the boxes for every Sub-Show you want to enroll it in โ€” Open A, B, C, all at once. Existing exhibitors autofill from their previous shows. No retyping. No duplicate forms. The fastest entry workflow in rabbit show software, full stop.

โœ‰

Email everything. From one button.

Check-in sheets to every exhibitor. Show reports to every exhibitor. Breed reports to every breed club. The ARBA Show Report straight to ARBA itself. Each one with a delivery record so you know who's been sent what โ€” and the show closes out in an afternoon, not a week.

โ—Ž

Awards chain that thinks for you.

BOV rolls into BOG rolls into BOB rolls into BIS โ€” automatically, in the right order, with the right eligibility rules. Leg thresholds (โ‰ฅ3 exhibitors, โ‰ฅ5 animals) calculated per scope. The system flags what's missing. You confirm, override, or move on.

โ—

Sweepstakes scoring built in.

Every breed club's sweepstakes formula, encoded. Points calculated automatically per exhibitor and per breed, with year-end-ready breed club reports. No more spreadsheets. No more "let me get back to you on points after the show."

โŒฌ

Your exhibitors can enter themselves.

Open a private portal link for your show. Exhibitors sign in with a magic link, fill in their own animals, and submit. Review with one click โ€” per-animal, per-submission, or sweep an entire exhibitor at once. The system emails them the result. Stop transcribing entry forms at midnight.

For the Superintendent

Show day usually has someone other than the secretary running tables. The Superintendent tab assigns judges to breeds, posts a public schedule QR exhibitors can follow live, and unlocks per-species so two different floor supers can each run their side. Mobile-first โ€” built to live on the tablet at the management table.

Show day used to mean a stack of paper control sheets, a tired secretary squinting at handwriting at midnight, and an ARBA report you swore you'd send tomorrow. HARES is the software that ends that.

โ€” THE WHOLE PITCH, IN ONE LINE
โ€” 02 / FOR BREEDERS

Not running shows? We've got you too.

โ€

Your herd, organized.

Add your rabbits, link parents, log weights and breeding dates. Mark them sold, deceased, or archived to free up space without losing the history. Filter by species, status, age, or breed. Photos drag-and-drop straight onto each rabbit's record.

โ‹

Pedigrees that print themselves.

Standard ARBA 3-generation chart for every rabbit, the moment you fill in the parents. Download a clean PDF โ€” hand it to a buyer with their rabbit, file it with sale paperwork, post it to a buyer's portal. No template fiddling, no Word documents.

$

A sales gallery your buyers can browse.

Mark a rabbit For Sale, set a price, add a photo and a note about the line. It shows on your public sales listing. Sold rabbits stay in the system so buyers can trace lineage to a sire you no longer own.

โ†—

Submit straight to a HARES show.

Going to a show running on HARES? Click Enter in a show on any rabbit, paste the show's portal link, and the form pre-fills the breed, variety, class, and ear number. The secretary still reviews โ€” but you don't re-type anything you've already entered.

Nobody else does this

Every account starts with a Free Breeder tier โ€” 10 rabbits, full pedigree and herd-record features, no card on file. Outgrow it? Step up to Breeder 20, 50, or Unlimited. See pricing โ†’

โ€” 03 / WHAT'S NEXT

Already in the workshop.

HARES in your pocket.

A native mobile app for phone and tablet โ€” manage your herd, enter shows, and check results from the barn or the show table, where opening a laptop just isn't happening. The same HARES, built for the smaller screen.

Show alerts in your inbox.

Exhibitors opt in once and get email or text alerts whenever a sanctioned show is announced in their area. Free promotion for your show. One less Facebook post for you.

Pay online, or pay at the door.

Exhibitors check out their entries with a card the moment they submit through the portal. Secretaries set the cutoff date โ€” pay online by then, or settle up at the show. Stop chasing exhibitor checks at the registration table.

Got an idea for what should be next? Hit the SUGGESTION button at the top of any page โ€” every feature on this list started as one.

โ€” 04 / WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Don't just take it from us.

Going from one system to another is always daunting, but switching from Everbreed was relatively simple โ€” I moved 54 animals and 3 litters over quickly with the pedigree link. The developers are super responsive, and I love the extra features, like entering my legs with where each was won and the judge who awarded it. Tracking every award on each animal's page is incredible and unique. I'm thrilled with this system.

What a breathe of fresh air! Vast majority of our first show on this software went seamless. Exhibitors enjoyed the EASY entry process and had fun with the QR codes and placing of classes on their cell phones during the show. Immediately upgraded to a multiple show event and will be utilizing HARES going forward for all of our club shows in Washington!
