Manage competition entries with ease

Say goodbye to scattered forms and Excel spreadsheets!

VelvetHoof allows you to create and manage your competitions in a few clicks: riders see the proposed events, register online, and receive email notifications.

On the club side, follow registrations in real time, validate them, manage statuses (pending, validated, paid...), and trigger billing if needed.

Each equestrian center has its own personalized space, with its logo, visuals, and a dedicated address.

Highlight competitions that count double: a clear rider-side display (weighting badge, coefficient shown on each event) so everyone spots at a glance the key competitions in the internal ranking.

Easily track and organize your horse's activities

Discover our feature dedicated to owners!

Manage your horse's agenda by entering regular lessons, occasional activities, and important appointments (dentist, vaccines, etc.).

Follow its progress thanks to comments and notes left after each session.

For co-riders, this feature facilitates coordination by avoiding repeating the same exercises.

A simple and complete tool to ensure the well-being and steady progress of your horse every day.

When a rider registers for a competition, the event is automatically added to their horse's schedule: no more forgetting, no more double-booking — coordination is instant.

Browse the schedule in day, week or month view: the monthly view gives an overall picture of the horse's workload, ideal for anticipating busy periods and preparing key dates.
