Ride types

Defaults for duration, pricing and calendar colours.

ForAdmins

On this page

Ride types are the kinds of rides your stable offers — group lessons, individual lessons, trail rides, and so on. Each one carries a default duration, a default price, and a calendar colour. Admins can open this page; instructors can view it too, but only admins can add or archive a ride type.

Adding a ride type

  1. Go to Settings → Ride types.
  2. Click Add ride type — at the top of the page, or as the last row of the list.
  3. Enter a Name (for example "Group lesson") and, optionally, an Abbreviation (up to 4 characters — leave it empty and one is generated from the name).
  4. Set the Default duration and Default price.
  5. Pick a Calendar colour and an Icon.
  6. Choose the Availability — Whole week, Weekdays only, or Weekends only.
  7. Click Save.

Charging more for a rider's own horse

Turn on Different price on own horse to set a separate price for participants who ride their own horse — either listed as an owner or covered by an active lease during the ride. When it's off, everyone pays the ride type's default price.

Choosing which horses a ride type can use

Under Horses, pick whether new rides of this type default to the type's own horses, plus any additional horse groups you select. Leave it as Default ride-type horses if you don't need to restrict it further.

Editing or archiving a ride type

  • Click a ride type's row to edit its name, price, duration, colour, or availability. Each row shows the type's length and price; a type offered only on weekdays or weekends says so.
  • To archive one you no longer offer, open it and click Archive at the bottom left of the window (admins only).
  • Archived ride types move into the folded Archived section below the list. Open it to restore one or — if it was never used in a ride, pass or voucher — delete it permanently with the bin icon (admins only).

Good to know

  • Archived ride types stay linked to past rides but are hidden from future ride pickers.
  • A ride type already used in rides, passes or vouchers can't be deleted — it stays in the archive so past records keep their meaning.
  • Prices you set here are the starting point — you can still override the price on an individual ride at checkout.
