Booking system for riding schools, stables & equine pros
Lesson schedules, training sessions and treatments in one place: set them up, fill spots, and get paid upfront. mivo replaces the paperwork so your time goes where it belongs – with the horse and your riders.
Select a time slot
When the business grows but the schedule stays in your head
You ride, teach, treat, or run your stable – and somehow every appointment still has to line up on the side. That side work costs hours every week that should belong to the horse.
You probably know this:
You juggle school horses, riders, and times at once.
Who rides which horse, who can move up after the course, which horse already had two sessions today? You carry that logic in your head – and it does not fit a generic booking app.
Leases, private riders, and courses overlap.
Regular weekly riders, spontaneous private lessons, training horses, and clinics share the same arena and calendar. Conflicts often show up only when two people are already at the gate.
No-shows hit twice as hard.
When someone does not show, you lose your time and a saddled, prepared horse. For treatments the slot is gone – filling it at short notice is nearly impossible.
Seasons swing, your overview does not.
Busy winter months in the indoor arena, quieter summer weeks, clinic peaks on weekends: without clear numbers you plan horses, staff, and pricing by gut feel instead of utilization.
Built for equestrian businesses – not online meetings
mivo knows the difference between a sales call and a group lesson with six riders on six horses. Schedules, limited spots, recurring sessions, and prepayment are core here, not add-ons.
Create lessons, training & treatments in seconds
Lunge work, dressage, jumping, group lessons, pony courses, training sessions, or physio appointments – set up any type in under a minute with duration, capacity, price, and description. You decide how many riders share a horse per hour, and they sign themselves in.
Assign school horses & instructors cleanly
Add your school horses and staff and assign them to sessions. No double bookings – no horse in two lessons at once, no instructor in two places.
A waitlist that fills itself
When a lesson is full, interested riders join the waitlist automatically. When someone cancels, the next person moves up and gets notified – the saddled horse is not wasted, the treatment slot is not left empty.
Prepayment & deposits against no-shows
With Stripe, customers pay when they book. For higher-priced offers like training or clinics you can require a deposit instead of the full amount. Those who pay ahead show up – and if they do not, your revenue is still secured.
No commission per booking: what you earn stays yours.
Automatic confirmation, reminder & follow-up
After booking, confirmation goes out immediately; before the appointment, a reminder; afterward, optionally a follow-up for the next lesson, follow-up treatment, or a review. Especially for physio, that keeps recurring appointments on track.
Google Calendar sync & website embed
All appointments land in your Google Calendar – arena, horse, and treatment time stay conflict-free. Share your booking page by link or embed it on your yard or practice website.
Your brand, not ours
Customize colors, logo, and email copy for your yard or practice. From the booking link to the inbox reminder, clients experience your brand throughout – including on the go when you travel to horses without a fixed stable.

Group and private lessons, groups, holiday courses, and clinics with fixed capacity.

Why equestrian businesses choose mivo over a standard calendar
Standard schedulers answer “When are you free for a call?” An equestrian business asks: which horse, which instructor, how many spots, who already paid?
| What your business needs | Standard scheduler | mivo |
|---|---|---|
| Group lessons with fixed capacity | Limited | Core feature |
| School horse & instructor assignment | Not supported | Yes |
| Automatic waitlist & move-up | Rarely | Yes |
| Deposit & prepayment (Stripe) | Extra cost | No commission |
| Recurring lesson & treatment schedules | Cumbersome | Yes |
| Own brand, mobile-ready | Often paid | Yes |
The difference: mivo supports the journey from your rider's first click to the reminder that brings them back to the saddle or the next appointment.

FAQ: booking system for equestrian sports
Who is mivo for?
Everyone around the horse: riding schools and instructors, boarding stables, horse trainers, and equine physiotherapists and health providers. Group lessons, one-to-one sessions, or treatments – mivo adapts to your offer.
Can I assign specific school horses or instructors to lessons?
Yes. Add horses and staff and assign them to appointments. That prevents double-booking a horse or instructor.
Does the waitlist work automatically?
Yes. When a lesson is full, additional riders join the waitlist. On cancellation, the next person moves up and is notified – without you doing anything.
Can I require a deposit for training or clinics?
Yes. Besides full prepayment, you can set a deposit at booking for higher-priced offers. That reduces no-shows and secures your effort.
What fees apply per booking?
mivo charges no commission per booking. Fixed plans with no hidden fees – only standard Stripe transaction fees for payment processing.
Does it work for mobile equine physios without a fixed stable?
Yes. Take treatment appointments anywhere, manage follow-ups via automatic reminders, and present your own brand throughout.
Does mivo sync with my calendar?
Yes. All appointments sync to Google Calendar so arena, school horse, and treatment time are never double-booked.
Can I offer lesson cards or treatment packages?
Yes. Offer different prices and packages at booking – from single sessions to 10-lesson cards or treatment bundles.
Do I need technical knowledge to get started?
No. Create your first appointment in minutes. No setup overhead, no training, no coding.
