Riding school software for online lesson booking and horse scheduling

Bookicorn is booking and management software for riding schools, equestrian centres and freelance riding instructors. Your riders book group lessons, private and lunge lessons or hacks online or in the app, and pay with their 10-lesson pack or directly online. With the Resources add-on you link your school horses to your lessons, including working hours and rest breaks, so no horse gets booked twice. The Free plan stays free forever, and you pay 0 % commission on your bookings.

Lessons booked over WhatsApp, horses on a whiteboard, lesson cards stamped by hand?

Before3 unanswered
  • Any space left in Saturday’s 10am group lesson?
  • Is today’s hack still on with this storm coming?
  • How many lessons are left on Mia’s 10-pack?

At many riding schools, bookings arrive by WhatsApp, by phone or in the yard between two lessons. Which school horse goes out when is written on a whiteboard in the tack room, and the 10-lesson card gets stamped by hand. When a hack is called off because of a storm, you message every rider one by one.

With Bookicorn

With Bookicorn, your riders book for themselves, around the clock. Places, credits, confirmations and reminders run automatically. Cancel a lesson and everyone booked is notified, and with the Resources and Occupancy Management add-ons you see straight away if a horse would be double-booked.

Features

Everything your riding school needs for lessons, horses and bookings

Online booking for riding lessons

Group lessons with a set number of places, private and lunge lessons with free time slot selection, hacks and trail rides as their own offer. Your riders book at any hour, in the browser or in the app.

School horses, never double-booked

With the Resources add-on you set up your horses with numbers, working hours and rest breaks and link them to your lessons. The Occupancy Management add-on warns you before a horse or an instructor is booked twice.

10-lesson packs as credit

Sell packs of 5, 10 or 20 riding lessons, each with its own price and validity. Credit is deducted automatically at booking, oldest first. Monthly memberships come with the Credit Subscriptions add-on.

Pony camps and exam courses

Holiday pony camps or courses that prepare riders for their riding exams run as a closed series that is booked as a whole. That is what the Block courses add-on is for.

Parents book for their kids

With the Group Booking add-on, parents book siblings into the same pony lesson in a single step. Confirmation and reminder emails go out automatically.

Logins for your instructors

Every riding instructor gets their own login with the permissions you choose and sees only their own lessons, bookings and payouts. The Trainer Portal is an add-on.

Weather cancellations in seconds

If a hack or a lesson in the outdoor arena cannot go ahead, you cancel it in a few clicks, even from your phone. Everyone booked is notified automatically.

Waitlist with automatic move-up

When a riding lesson is full, riders join the waitlist. As soon as a place opens up, the next rider moves in automatically and gets a message. The Waitlist is an add-on.

Taster rides and gift vouchers

With the Trial Offers add-on you give newcomers a taster lesson, and Bookicorn checks automatically whether someone is really new. Riding lesson gift vouchers are sold online with the Vouchers add-on.

Your lesson schedule on your phone, even out in the yard

With the Bookicorn Manager app you check your calendar and rider lists, add someone to a lesson or cancel one, right from your phone. You get a notification with every booking and every cancellation.

Your riders and their parents use the free Bookicorn app: open the schedule, pick a lesson, pay with credit or online. Both apps are on Google Play, and the iPhone versions are in preparation. Everything works the same way in the browser.

Your lesson schedule on your phone, even out in the yard

A booking page that looks like your yard

Pick one of seven design themes and add your logo, colours, photos of your yard and horses, and your own text. Riders and parents see your riding school, not someone else’s platform.

The page runs at your own address on bookicorn.net. Already have a website? Embed your lesson schedule and booking there as a widget (Website Integration add-on), or use your own address with the Custom domain add-on.

0 % commission on your riding lessons

Bookicorn takes 0 % commission on every lesson booked. You pay for your plan, and for online payments only the usual fees of the payment provider, such as Stripe or PayPal.

When riders pay by bank transfer or at the yard, the full amount stays with you. Revenue, packs sold and refunds are always visible in the transaction overview.

0 % commission on your riding lessons

Pay with a lesson pack, online or at the yard

At booking, your riders pay with credit from their lesson pack or online by card, SEPA Direct Debit, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Klarna or PayPal. Bookicorn records the payment and emails the confirmation.

You choose payment methods for each offer: for example credit for the weekly group lesson, online payment for the pony camp and bank transfer for the exam course, which you confirm yourself once it arrives.

Why Bookicorn

Why riding schools work with Bookicorn
