Barn Setup

Create a barn and complete setup

Set up the core barn records that make scheduling, members, and progress work correctly.

Owner/Admin

A barn is the private workspace for your organization. Schedules, members, horses, riders, videos, and progress all live inside a barn.

The most useful first setup path is: barn profile, arenas, horses, riders, trainers, members, and first lessons.

You do not need to enter the whole barn before beginning. Start with the people, horses, arena, and lesson needed for the first real workflow, then add the rest in stages.

Steps

  1. 1Create and verify your account, then choose Create a Barn from the welcome page when barn creation is available to you.
  2. 2Add or confirm barn profile information in Settings.
  3. 3Choose a small first working group instead of entering every rider, horse, and staff member at once.
  4. 4Create arenas so lessons can reserve real spaces.
  5. 5Add horses and set active status for horses currently in work.
  6. 6Invite trainers, staff, riders, and parents.
  7. 7Create rider profiles for members who ride.
  8. 8Create a first lesson or lesson series.
  9. 9Review the owner dashboard for setup status and operating picture.

Start small

  • A trainer, owner, or manager can create the workspace and invite the rest of the barn team later.
  • One arena, one trainer, one rider, one horse, and one lesson are enough to try the connected scheduling and follow-up workflow.
  • New barns begin on Free, so setup does not use any Trial days.

When to start the Trial

  • Signup and barn creation do not start the one-time 14-day Trial.
  • When the barn is ready to test reviews, video, and MEGAN, the owner can start the Trial from Plan & Billing without a credit card.
  • After 14 days, the barn returns to Free access automatically. Existing records stay in place, while Trial-only tools pause unless the barn moves to a paid plan.
