Horse show management software for UK organisers
Showjumping events software for UK club and unaffiliated fixtures — online entries, start lists, live results and course plans on the same login as the free designer.
Unaffiliated club days and riding-club fixtures
Built for the midweek club night and weekend unaffiliated day — not only big multi-venue calendars. Set classes and heights, open online entries, run start lists and a live board, and link a British Showjumping course design when the track lives in YardForge.
- Club and unaffiliated first — Pony Club, riding club and unaffiliated; first show free (Trial, up to 75 entries).
- Export for your secretary system — CSV for the office, print-ready start lists for the gate. Use YardForge for entries and the day, or export into your existing secretary spreadsheet / club software.
- Course + show on one login — design the track in the free designer, link it to the class, hand builders a plan PDF. Works standalone if you already have a paper course plan.
Show organiser features
- Online entry collection — riders enter from any device. One desk for every class, no spreadsheet merge the night before.
- Live results board — score ringside; spectators follow on their phones. Junior names redact to first name + initial by default.
- Classes and course link — heights, disciplines, and a linked YardForge course design so riders can study the track.
- Start lists — auto-assign start numbers and share a public link so riders know when they go.
- Calendar listing — open shows appear on the YardForge Events board for organic reach to riders already on the platform.
- Export and print — CSV for the office; print-ready start lists for the gate and ring steward.

Show organiser FAQ
How much does YardForge show management software cost? Trial: first show free (up to 75 entries). Starter £15/mo (6 shows/yr), Show Runner £29/mo (20 shows/yr), Multi-venue £59/mo. One-offs from £14/show. Riders always enter free.
Can riders enter online without creating a YardForge account? Yes. Riders can submit an online entry form without registering — just their name, horse name and email. Signed-in riders also get a My shows board with placings and go-times.
Can I manage dressage and showing classes, not just show jumping? Yes. YardForge supports show jumping, dressage, combined training, showing and other disciplines — set the discipline when you create the show.
Can I use Events without Designer? Yes. Show Manager works standalone — link any course PDF or add Designer later for jump layouts and batch printing.
How does Events pricing compare to pay-per-entry platforms? YardForge Events is subscription-first with predictable monthly cost for secretaries running several shows a year. One-off pricing is available for single events. Compare total cost against tools that bill mainly per entry if you run high volumes.
