How can Equivent help your business?
Completely free* for you to use, our platform is designed to be your trusted companion, empowering you to effortlessly handle every aspect of events, bookings, facility hires, lessons and more.
Read more about our features below...
Entries, simplified
You shouldn’t be forced to fill out your life story just to make a booking! People will exit a website at the slightest inconvenience, or if they have to enter too much unnecessary data.
Our entry process is designed to be as fast, streamlined and user friendly as possible, making bookings a breeze. No more confusion, crashes, or clunkiness!
Faster checkout,
more bookings
In our research, the most common complaint from riders about other platforms was the login/sign up barrier for making a booking, so we listened!
Our platform supports full guest checkout and other small but mighty “quality-of-life” improvements that have a huge impact such as Apple and Google Pay.
Our platform opens up your customer base to impulse or “one-off” bookers, and if they have a great experience, they are more likely to return!
Stay in-the-loop
Stay up-to-date with SMS and email notifications straight to your phone.
Our notifications are clear and contain all the information you need to easily track corresponding information within our system.
Keep entrants
in-the-loop
On top of keeping you up-to-date, we also keep your entrants informed too! Our notification system reduces your need to contact people manually, as we have in-built notifications for all key updates.
Need to cancel an event? No problem, all your entrants will be notified with your custom message at the click of a button.
Your bookings,
all in one place
Easily see all of your bookings by event, facility, week, month, booking ref etc, plus:
- Export booking data
- View all booking horse and rider details
- View payment details
- Cancel or withdraw a booking
- Process refunds
- and much more...
Easy peasy event management
Manage your events via our intuitive calendar interface. All events are highly configurable to your exact requirements. And easily changeable if you make a mistake.
- Recurring events
- Multi-day events
- All types and disciplines
- Update your event status and add a custom message for cancelling an event
- See and manage all bookings for this event
- Manage times and results (more below)
Times and results, automated
Use our handy “times builder” to generate entrant times in one-click. Export times and results at the click of a button, to print off for the day or to share them via Facebook. More features include:
- Re-ordering times
- Group times, e.g for clinic groups
- Discipline gap, e.g for events with multiple-times
Dedicated facility management & booking
Facilities aren’t events! Our platform has a dedicated mechanism just for facilities so that you can keep your concerns separate.
When booking, your users can see a clear distinction between your events and facilities, instead of them all appearing under one long and confusing list! Additional features include:
- Add coaching to your facilities for an extra fee
- Ensure facilities don't get double booked
- Add "extras" for things like additional horses
Customise your website integration
Simply copy & paste our customisable widget into your website and give your customers an easy time finding your events.
Show your events calendar, facilities and times/results, either all together, or on separate pages - it’s up to you!
Also as standard you get your own free dedicated hosted venue page on our website, with description, image and all your events/facilities.
FAQs
Our platform is completely free for you to use. All we ask is a £1.50 booking fee (charged to the user). This is per transaction so your users can add multiple entries to their basket and still only pay £1.50. Our platform uses Stripe for payments, so you will need a Stripe account to connect.
Yes, we provide a customisable widget you can embed on your website for events, facilities, times and results.
We get it - it may feel like an unnecessary hassle when what you have “does the job”. But what if your booking system not only “did the job”, but did the job REALLY well? We didn’t build it for no reason...
Our research shows that many riders (myself included) have struggled with booking issues, system crashes/slowness,confusion and poor mobile access. As many of the current platforms are built on older tech, which is at high risk of being phased out, these problems are likely to only get worse.
Why settle for less just because it’s the status quo? Why frustrate your customers unnecessarily? Our platform is built for speed, to future-proof your business, and most importantly, to make booking with you more enjoyable for your customers!
That’s fine! Neither are the vast majority of our users... we offer full support along the way. We have a full help website that documents all of our features and provides useful “how-to” guides on each one. And if you get stuck, we have a dedicated support WhatsApp or just pick up the phone and we will do what we can to assist you.
That’s no problem at all - just let us know what you need and there’s a 99% chance we can build it. Our software is entirely custom-built and our development team is fully in-house, no outsourcing or middle-men here. Ultimately our platform is useless if it doesn’t meet your needs, so we are more than happy to take on feedback and improve it wherever possible.
If signing up sounds like too much of a commitment, why not just trial our software for one event? Or try it for hiring out your facilities? We promise you will love it, but if you don’t, it’s completely free and you are under no obligation to continue. There really is nothing to lose! If, at a later date, you did want to do a “full-switch”, we can always help you with the data transfer, free-of-charge. No stress!
Onboarding is do-able in your own time - no need for back and forth emails! All you need is a few basic account details and a Stripe account for payments. The system will walk you through everything, just sign up below!
How do I join?

Once you're logged in and can see your admin portal, our software will guide you through connecting with our payment provider, Stripe. This is essential for you to start taking bookings!
