  1. Set your arena and standard, measure the surface, pick FEI, British Showjumping, Hunter or Unaffiliated before placing fences.
  2. Build the track, not just the fences, design the line the horse rides; use the full arena and progressive difficulty.
  3. Check related distances, use the stride calculator for combinations, bending lines and related distances.
  4. Validate against the rulebook, live BS 2025 / FEI 2026 checks as you drag; optional one-click Apply fixes only when you choose them.
  5. Check it at ground level, walk the lines on foot, or view them at rider eye height, before you move a pole. 3D in the Designer is in early access for selected beta accounts.
  6. Export and share. PDF master plans for builders and judges; share a read-only course plan link with your team.
