What's new in HARES — newest updates first.

June 10, 2026 Update

June 10 Update

New

  • Personal notes on your results — jot private notes on each of your animals right on the results page. They're just for you and never affect placements. The note stays with that rabbit across the day's shows, so you can start it in the morning and add to it as each show finishes.

Improved

  • See your entries and results after entries close — once a show's online entry closes, you can still sign in to view what you entered and how your animals placed. You just can't add or change entries once it's closed. Entered by phone? You can still sign in to view, too.
  • Clearer writer page — the writer now gets a reminder to assign the judge and check the writer's name on each class, and on the breeds that have them (like Creme d'Argent and Silver Fox) a reminder to pick Best Sr / Int / Jr of Breed so they don't get missed.

June 9 Update

New

  • Photo pedigree scanner — snap a photo of a paper pedigree and HARES reads the rabbit + ancestors into your herd to review.
  • Settings page — default weight unit + which columns (and order) show on My Herd.
  • Custom cage cards — orientation, fields, per-page, and a QR code.
  • Pedigree branding — your rabbitry logo + accent color on pedigrees.
  • Dark / Light / Auto mode — top-right of any page.
  • Pre-show Leg Check — see which awards will earn an ARBA leg before the show.
  • Breed & Variety Breakdown — printable, per species, with animal + exhibitor counts.
  • Wool/Fur class — now on both the portal entry form and the herd "Submit to a Show" form.
  • "Other (write-in)" variety — enter a color that isn't in the list.
  • Late-fee deadline now takes a specific time, not just a date (secretaries).

Improved

  • Class names spelled out ("Senior Buck," not "SB").
  • Fees report: compact by default + an "Itemized view" toggle.
  • Confirmation emails list animals in show order.
  • CSV imports handle Excel-saved files better.

Fixed

  • Lionhead sweepstakes points now calculate correctly.
  • Superintendent print buttons work for superintendents.
  • Writer's "Save & check" jumps straight to any error.
  • Write-in varieties that differ only by capitalization no longer split onto two judging sheets (secretaries).
  • Portal "Enter for someone else" now picks the right exhibitor when you manage several.
  • Sharing a pedigree no longer errors.
