Equestrian centres/riding schools
How can we help your riding school?
Match riders to the right horse with a simple click. Book qualified instructors, and keep your yard rota simple, organised, and efficient.
The stables:
Unlike a plane or a car, your horses aren't interchangeable. With Shlott, each horse's profile can include their required rider level, weight limit, and medical history so riders can only book lessons on a horse that's right for them.
You can also flag horses that are unavailable for lessons — resting, at the farrier, or seeing the vet — so no one turns up expecting a horse that's not there. Recurring care like farrier visits every six weeks or routine dental checks can be scheduled in advance, keeping the whole yard's calendar accurate without manual updates every time.
eg:
Instructors and lessons:
Book instructors for private lessons, group lessons, or hacks, with qualifications (like BHS stage or accreditation) shown against their profile so parents and riders know who they're booking with. Instructors who specialise — dressage, jumping, or working with junior riders — can be filtered so riders find the right fit, not just the next available slot.
Instructors who are unavailable are shown clearly in grey on the calendar, so there's no confusion or double-booking.
Yard duty rota:
Running a yard takes more than lessons — mucking out, feeding, and turnout all need covering too. Shlott's rota tools handle one-off cover and recurring shifts side by side with your lesson calendar, so your yard duty rota and your lesson bookings never clash.
Facilities and weather
With Shlott, your Indoor arena, outdoor arena, and hacking routes can all be separate bookable spaces — so a rained-off outdoor lesson does not affect indoor arena bookings. Set your cancellation and rescheduling policy once, and Shlott handles it consistently every time the weather turns.
