Problem
Show organizers often rely on paper-based entry forms, fragmented spreadsheets, and manual scoring, which leads to errors, delays, and high administrative overhead. Exhibitors and spectators lack real-time access to schedules, results, and rider statistics, reducing engagement and making it difficult to track series points.
Solution
Horse Spot provides a cloud‑based platform that centralizes all aspects of horse show management. Show staff can create and publish shows online, allowing exhibitors to enter, edit, and pay for entries through a web portal. Live scoring integrates with timing systems to deliver instant results and performance metrics to phones, tablets, or video boards without additional hardware. The system automatically updates schedules, estimates start times, and generates personalized dashboards with rider and horse bios, series point tracking, and bulk reporting. Data is stored securely in the cloud with 99.99% uptime, and integrated Stripe processing handles digital payments. Support is available 24/7, and the platform works over low‑bandwidth connections such as mobile hotspots.
Target Audience
Primary customers are horse show organizers, secretaries, and managers of local, USEF, USHJA, and FEI‑rated events, as well as exhibitors and riders who need convenient entry and results access.
