Everything a riding school needs to run smoothly

Lessons by instructor and horse, packages, and a portal riders actually use.

Every instructor & horse, one calendar

See each instructor and horse in a single view — so nothing double-books and riders land the right lesson.

Sell lesson packages up front

Sell a 10-lesson package and each booking draws down automatically — no punch cards to chase.

Riders & parents book & pay online

A self-serve portal where riders (or parents) book, reschedule, and pay — without calling the barn.

Reminders that cut no-shows

Automatic SMS and email reminders before every lesson, with consent tracking — so fewer slots go to waste.

The horse is booked too

Every other booking system schedules a person and a time. A yard schedules a person, a time, an instructor and a living animal that can only work so many hours a day.

A horse is a resource with limits

You cannot put a schoolmaster pony in six lessons back to back, and you cannot match a nervous beginner to a green horse. In practice each horse is as bookable as an instructor, and the yard's real capacity is however many suitable horses are fit that day.

Riders are matched, not just slotted

A rider's level decides which horse and which lesson they can take. Group lessons are capped by ability as much as by arena space, so a class is not simply first-come — it is first-come among the riders it suits.

Weather takes the whole day, not one booking

An unusable outdoor arena cancels every lesson on it. Cancel the sessions once and everyone booked is told, with credit landing on their account rather than being remembered.

Lessons, livery and hacks are different products

A private lesson, a group lesson, a hack and a livery arrangement are priced and scheduled quite differently, and the same client often has more than one running at once. They belong on one account, not in three systems.

Families ride together

Parents ride, children ride, siblings share a lesson slot. One household account keeps the billing together even when they ride on different days at different levels.

FAQ

Riding-school booking, answered

Can riders (or parents) book lessons online?

Yes. A self-serve portal lets riders and parents book, reschedule, and pay for lessons online — without calling the barn.

Can I sell lesson packages up front?

Yes. Sell a package — say, 10 lessons — and every booking draws down against it automatically, so you always know the balance.

Can I schedule across multiple instructors and horses?

Yes. See every instructor and horse in one calendar, so nothing double-books and riders land the right lesson on the right horse.

Does it send lesson reminders?

Yes. Automatic SMS and email reminders go out before every lesson, with consent tracking — so fewer slots go to waste on no-shows.

Do I get my own booking website?

Yes. A branded, bookable website is included, so riders can find your barn and book online.

Is there a free trial?

Yes — 30 days free, and no credit card is required to start.

Can I limit how many lessons a horse does in a day?

Group lessons are capped, and instructors have their own schedules — so you control how much runs at once. Horse-by-horse limits are managed by how you set those classes up rather than by a separate horse calendar.

Can I run group lessons by ability?

Yes. Each group is its own class with its own level, time and capacity, so riders book into the group that suits them and it closes when full.

What happens when weather cancels a day of lessons?

Cancel the sessions and everyone booked is notified at once, with any credit applied to their account automatically.

Can I bill for livery as well as lessons?

Yes. A recurring monthly charge covers livery and sits on the same account and invoice as lessons.

Can a family with several riders share one account?

Yes. Household accounts keep parents and children together on one invoice even when they ride separately.

Can riders book and pay themselves?

Yes, in their own portal from any browser, with email and SMS reminders before each lesson.
