Show jumping course design

  • Combinations and related distances — doubles, trebles and related lines with combination-aware labels.
  • Snap and plan tools — half-metre snap, straighten on chord, start and finish rotation, and cleanup.
  • Templates and course gallery — schooling grids, jump-offs and full tracks.
  • Jump-off rounds — second track on the same fences with its own order and time allowed.
  • Geometry safety checks — warnings and one-tap fixes. Planning aid only.
  • Course design app on phone — progressive web app on iPhone, Android and desktop.

Strides, FEI and BS rule checks

  • FEI and British Showjumping validation — live checks against FEI, British Showjumping, Hunter and Unaffiliated tables.
  • Stride calculator — horse- and pony-aware strides on related distances and combinations.
  • Combo stride helper — apply spacing when a double or treble will not fit an integer stride band.

PDF plans and handoff

  • Four role PDFs — master, athlete, builder and judge exports. Free includes watermarked plans.
  • Clean unbranded PDFs — Pro exports without the free watermark.
  • Materials and inventory — cross-check layouts against kit you own.

3D course viewer and AR

Also building (not the pitch)

Yard tools, show desk, GPS and teaching stay live for people who already use them. If you run the fixture as well as the track, the show organiser desk handles entries and results. What else we’re building.
