Riding school software for small groups and lesson reminders
Riding school software is the system a riding school uses to manage rider registration, level groups, the lesson calendar, parent communication and payments. In Jamaster LMS you set each group's capacity to the number of horses available for that slot and see the fill level when you enroll someone. Automation rules draft lesson reminders and create tasks for payments that are coming due.
The single-branch Mini plan is $49 a month, and the Pro plan for multi-branch institutions is $89 per branch per month (billed yearly), and you can try it with a 10-day free demo account.
What makes lessons hard to run at a riding school
Groups limited by horses
A lesson can only take as many riders as there are horses ready to work, so enrolling a rider too many leaves somebody without a horse. Open groups with a small capacity that matches that number and check the fill bar before adding a rider.
Rain, wind and a muddy arena
Outdoor lessons depend on the weather, the call is often made at the last minute and ringing every family takes too long. Send a bulk SMS to the affected group from a ready-made template in a couple of minutes.
Forgotten Saturday lessons
A rider who forgets a Saturday morning lesson wastes a horse's and an instructor's hour. Once the lesson reminder rule is active, a parent SMS draft is ready 2 hours ahead of every ride.
Rules and tools in riding school software
SMS draft before each lesson
Two hours before each lesson, the lesson reminder rule writes an SMS draft that you check and send.
Payment reminder tasks
Three days before a lesson package or monthly payment is due, the installment reminder rule opens a task for a staff member.
Rider levels
Define levels from lunge and first lessons through independent riding to jumping, and move riders to the next group as they progress.
Riders who start to drift
The 3-consecutive-absences rule creates a meeting plan, so you speak to a rider who is skipping lessons before they stop coming.
Birthday emails
On a rider's birthday, the birthday rule prepares an email draft you can send to the family.

Frequently asked questions
What is riding school software?
Riding school software is a system that keeps rider registration, level groups, the lesson calendar, reminders and payments together for a yard. You reach Jamaster LMS through a browser, and a school with several yards opens each as a branch.
How do I tell parents a lesson is cancelled because of weather?
Select the affected group and send a bulk SMS; your usual cancellation text can be stored as a template. You can also message a single family on WhatsApp from the panel.
Can group capacity match the number of horses?
Yes, you set each group's capacity yourself, so you enter the number of horses available for that slot. The groups screen then shows the fill level, for example 4/5.
What is the monthly price of riding school software?
The single-branch Mini plan is $49 a month, and the Pro plan for multi-branch institutions is $89 per branch per month (billed yearly). SMS packages are bought separately. Open a 10-day free demo to see the rules working with your own groups.
