YardForge Course Designer, Introduction
·
YardForge is a browser-based show jumping course designer for UK and FEI builders. You work on a scaled plan canvas, connect fences into a ridden route, validate against BS or FEI rules, and export role-specific PDFs, without installing desktop software.
What you can do
- Place verticals, oxers, combinations, start/finish, and schooling obstacles on a metre-accurate grid.
- Shape the ridden path with path control points and live stride distances.
- Run Project → Validate project… for BS/FEI checks and optional guided fixes.
- Open Project → Display options… for path chrome, labels, and canvas preferences; View for grid, zoom, and school circles.
- 3D (Project → 3D visualisation): Shared links open the read-only 2D course plan. 3D in the Designer is in early access for selected beta accounts.
- Save designs to your account (File → Save) and open them again from Load plan….
Where to start
- Open the course designer and set arena size (Project → Arena size…) + competition standard.
- Read how to design a show jumping course for the full build workflow.
- Use the course design help hub for topic-based guides on validation, export, rounds, and schooling.
