Display class, office, side-pot, and exhibition charges for review before payment.
Flexible race formats
Choose an event format, then add the divisions, dates, deadlines, and prices from your race bill.
Open, youth, novice, and side-pot selections with exhibitions and a single checkout.
Multiple dates, member status, nomination fees, and points declarations in the same registration.
Birth date, age division, guardian contact, emergency details, and guardian acknowledgment.
Repeatable horse blocks let one trainer submit several horse-and-rider combinations without retyping contact details.
Registration workflow
Turn the event details you already have into a publishable entry flow, then send each response where your race secretary works.
Provide the date, venue, divisions, deadline, fees, exhibition windows, and payment method.
Replace sample choices with exact classes and prices. Add event-reviewed acknowledgment wording.
Test adult, youth, and multi-horse entries, including conditional questions and totals.
Send responses to a spreadsheet, tag exceptions, and review payment status before the draw.
Online form vs paper and messages
A structured form keeps every horse, rider, class, fee, and payment connected for the race secretary.
Field guide
These six sections keep identity, competition choices, money, and event communications connected.
Rider details
Collect full name, contact details, and any membership number you use. Ask for age only when it determines division eligibility.
Horse details
Keep the horse's registered name, barn name, owner, and rider in one repeatable block, especially for trainer entries.
Classes & add-ons
Use checkboxes or dropdowns for divisions, side pots, exhibitions, and arena slots. Reveal eligibility questions only when needed.
Fees & payment
Attach charges to selections and present an itemized total. Test your payment and confirmation workflow before launch.
Rules & acknowledgment
Show your event's rules, cancellation terms, and arena requirements before signature. Use wording reviewed for your event.
Confirmation & routing
Confirm the selected horse, class, fees, and event contact. Route responses to the secretary and flag exceptions.
