Riding schools
Group lessons, private lessons, a string of school horses and a waiting list of children who all want the quiet cob.
Who it’s for
Yards where the horse has a say in the timetable
A gym can book the same room twenty times a day. A riding school cannot book the same horse twenty times a day, and everything about running one follows from that.
Built for
Pony clubs and centres
Badges, grades and rallies, with parents who need to know what their child is allowed to book.
Livery yards that teach
Where the diary has to hold both liveries and lessons without one quietly consuming the other.
Trekking and hacking centres
Where the limits on a horse’s day — and the weight it can carry — decide the whole timetable.
What we think
Welfare is a feature, not a policy document
Everyone agrees a horse should not do too many lessons in a day. It still happens, because on a wet Tuesday with an instructor off sick nobody is counting. Software can count. So Cantermere counts, and says no.
A refusal should explain itself
“Not suitable” is useless at the mounting block. If a horse is over its cap and the rider is too heavy for it, you should be told both, at once, in words — not sent round the loop discovering one problem at a time.
The yard’s vocabulary wins
No two stables mean the same thing by “Grade 3”. Rather than impose a national ladder nobody uses, each stable defines its own grades and what they require.
Boring correctness beats clever features
Money in whole pence. Times as the clock on your wall reads them. A price captured when the booking is made, so changing a lesson fee never rewrites what someone was quoted. Unglamorous, and the reason you can trust the numbers.
Who makes it
Cantermere is built by Cinolla Software, who have spent years making booking and management systems for activity centres, clubs and venues. Cantermere is the one for yards.
