What is MEGAN?
Understand where MEGAN helps trainers and where trainer approval stays required.
MEGAN stands for Machine Equestrian Guidance & Analysis Network. In BarnPage, MEGAN is an assistant for trainers, not a replacement for trainer judgment.
MEGAN Video Review drafts lesson analysis from uploaded video frames. Trainers review, edit, approve, and publish before riders or parents see feedback.
MEGAN Ringside and MEGAN Arena Prep are private planning tools for trainers. They can use barn, lesson, rider, horse, arena, and recent approved-feedback information when it is available.
Arena Editor ideas are separate from MEGAN. They are non-AI layout drafts that barn members can publish to the feed for feedback.
Steps
- 1For video review: upload a lesson video, wait for processing, review MEGAN draft output, then approve and publish.
- 2For Ringside Lesson Mode: open the current lesson, add trainer notes, and generate trainer-only MEGAN Ringside planning ideas when available.
- 3For Arena Mode: confirm a starting layout, review MEGAN Arena Setup Changes one lesson at a time, confirm those changes, then generate the arena-aware lesson plan.
- 4If a suggestion is not accurate enough, edit it, mark that changes are needed, or try again.
How MEGAN fits into the lesson
- For video feedback, upload the video, review the MEGAN draft, and publish only the feedback the trainer approves.
- For Ringside planning, MEGAN prepares private ideas that the trainer can adapt at the lesson.
- For Arena Prep, MEGAN suggests a layout and setup changes; the trainer confirms the arena before using it in lesson plans.
Troubleshooting
A rider or parent cannot see MEGAN feedback.
Confirm the trainer has published the review. Draft, in-review, and approved-but-unpublished feedback stays trainer-only.
An Arena Editor idea did not use MEGAN.
That is expected. Arena ideas are non-AI feed posts. MEGAN Arena Prep is a separate trainer tool available during Trial and on Premium.
