An equestrian club has many moving parts. Track lesson packages, keep rider levels on record, plan the lesson schedule with tasks, and announce events with campaigns.

The many moving parts of equestrian clubs
Members, horses, instructors and lesson times must constantly be matched; trial lessons, packages and events involve too many moving parts to track in a notebook.
The trial lesson visitor who never becomes a member
A prospective member takes a trial lesson, says "I'll think about it" and leaves; their number is written in the stable notebook and never called again. How many trial lessons were given, how many turned into memberships — there's no data beyond the instructor's guess; the undecided prospect is lost to lack of follow-up.
“How many lessons do I have left?” uncertainty
Lesson packages are written in a notebook; the number in the member's head and the number in the notebook often don't match. Since this is a paid-per-package business, the uncertainty both undermines trust and makes package renewal sales harder; having to count every time is tiring.
Horse-instructor-time matching gets confusing
Which member will work with which horse, which instructor, at what time — this matching is set up by hand every day. There are only so many horses and the instructor schedule is full; conflicts and last-minute changes leave members making a wasted trip and the lesson schedule falls apart.
Rider level records live only in the instructor's head
Who is a beginner, who is ready to jump, who has progressed to which level — this information lives in the instructor's memory and in scattered notes. When a new instructor arrives or level groups are formed, pulling this information together is hard; the member's progress can't be tracked.
Competition and event announcements are scattered
Competition, show or social event announcements are sent one by one; who was messaged and who will attend can't be tracked. A message sent twice to the same member looks careless, while one never sent means someone misses the event; organizing attendance is left up in the air.
Messages left unanswered during lessons
Price, group and level questions arrive during lesson time, and instructors out in the field can't check their phones. By the time you reply in the evening, the person has already messaged another club. Interest from Instagram often goes unseen entirely, and hot leads go cold.
What does ÖzgürKod do for riding clubs?
It adds an organized layer of membership, lesson packages, levels and event tracking on top of the work done in the field.
From first message to advanced rider: the member journey
- Record trial lesson requests as leads with a source tag; schedule the appointment with the online booking page, and open a task to follow up after the lesson
- Define lesson packages in the catalog; as each lesson is completed, the remaining count shows clearly on the member card, so the question "how many lessons do I have left" gets a transparent answer
- Record rider levels with tags and notes (beginner, jumping, advanced); when creating a level group, list members in seconds with the segment filter
- Plan the horse-instructor-time lesson schedule on the task board; which member rides which horse with which instructor stays clear on the cards
- Send competition and event announcements as campaigns with segment targeting; duplicate protection prevents double messages to the same member, so you turn interest into sign-ups
- Track membership fees and package payments with installment and due-date tracking; AI detects the receipt you receive, and the chatbot answers questions 24/7 during lessons
A prospective member asks about trial lessons and prices on Instagram, a web form or WhatsApp; the message becomes a card with a source tag, and the chatbot sends the first reply while the instructor is out in the field.
A suitable time is chosen from the online booking page and added to Google Calendar; a follow-up call after the trial is opened as a task, so the decision isn't left to chance.
The member is given a level and group tag; their goal, health notes and emergency contact go on the card, and the full conversation history stays on one screen.
The lesson package is chosen from the catalog; the number of lessons and the payment plan are set on the card, installment payments go into due-date tracking, and AI matches the receipt.
Horse-instructor-time matching is planned on the task board; as each lesson is completed, the remaining count becomes clear and you can see which member rides which horse.
Progress and level details are updated with tags and notes; when creating a level group, members are listed in seconds with the segment filter.
Competition and event announcements go to the right segment as campaigns; sign-up replies are collected, and the organization runs on the task board.

What should you look for when choosing a CRM for Equestrian club?
Before you decide, evaluate your candidates against these 5 criteria.
5 criteria
- A module ready for your industry. Instead of adapting a generic CRM for months Equestrian club choose a system that is ready on day one for your workflow (record fields, tags, reminder templates).
- WhatsApp and Instagram integration. In Turkey member most communication comes through WhatsApp and Instagram; a CRM that does not offer a unified inbox through the official API leaves half the work outside.
- Automatic reminders and follow-up. Appointment, payment and repeat reminders should live in the system, not in memory; every missed reminder is lost revenue.
- Turkish-language support and TL pricing. Dollar-based foreign tools carry exchange rate risk and an English-only support barrier; TL pricing and Turkish-language setup support make total cost predictable.
- Free trial and cancellation without commitment. Try it with your own data before you decide: choose a solution that requires no credit card, offers at least a 7-day free trial and can be canceled whenever you want.

What does a CRM do for a riding club?
It organizes the many moving parts outside the arena on a single panel: trial lesson requests, the remaining count in lesson packages, rider level records, the horse-instructor-time lesson schedule, membership fees and competition-event announcements. Messages from WhatsApp, Instagram and web forms come together in a unified inbox; each member's card holds their level, package, remaining lessons, membership fee status and all correspondence in one place. Trial lesson visitors get a call back, remaining lessons are always visible, the schedule is built without conflicts, and events reach the right members — none of it is left to a notebook in the stable or an instructor's memory.
How do I track the remaining lessons in lesson packages?
You define packages in the catalog: a 10-lesson starter, a 20-lesson package, and so on. A sold package is linked to the member card; as each completed lesson is marked, the remaining count updates automatically. When a member asks "how many lessons do I have left", the answer is ready on the card next to the conversation; there's no need to check a notebook, and the relationship stays transparent. Membership fees and package payments are tracked with installments and due dates, receipts you receive are detected by AI, and when a package ends, the segment for renewal is ready. Online payment collection is not available — there is no payment link; the system keeps the record of the payment and the remaining lessons.
How do I record rider levels and progress?
There is no ready-made level module built specifically for clubs; let's be upfront about that. The right setup works with tags and notes: you give each member their current level tag (beginner, jumping, advanced, and so on), and you add progress observations and level changes as notes on the member card. When you create a level group, the segment filter pulls up a list like "advanced level, weekend group" in seconds, and you send the announcement to that group as a campaign. When a new instructor joins, the member's history and level are ready on the card; progress is tied to a traceable record, not to the instructor's memory.
Can I schedule horse-instructor-time lesson plans in the system?
The task board is the right tool for this. You plan which member will work with which horse, with which instructor and at what time on task cards, and assign them to instructors; with checklists you tick off pre-lesson preparation and horse care steps. The online appointment page and Google Calendar sync keep lesson times in order. One more thing, to be clear: ÖzgürKod is not dedicated stable management software and does not automatically manage stable operations such as horse health and farrier tracking; it organizes the lesson schedule and member-instructor coordination with task logic and lets you track these with notes and tags.
Are competition and event announcements sent to members automatically?
No. The system does not send scheduled messages on its own; let's be honest about that. Here is how it works: you send the announcement for a competition, show or social event to the relevant segment (for example the advanced level or children's group) as a campaign using a Meta-approved WhatsApp template; duplicate protection prevents a second message to the same member. Responses are collected, the organization runs on the task board, and who is coming and the event tasks are tracked as a checklist. You always decide which announcement goes to which member and when.
We work with several instructors; how are member records shared?
With role-based permissions, you decide which member records each instructor can see and manage; incoming requests can be distributed in turn with round-robin, so no trial lesson request is left without an owner. If you turn on the "team members see only their own members" rule, each instructor accesses only their own group's records, while the club owner sees everything. All access is logged; you have a record of who handled sensitive information such as health notes. When an instructor leaves the club, the member list, level records and message history do not go with them, they stay with the club.
Equestrian club software and CRM the same thing? Which one is ÖzgürKod?
In practice they describe the same need. Businesses usually search for "Equestrian club software", "Equestrian club software", "Equestrian club appointment software“ or “customer management software”; “CRM” is this solution is the international name. ÖzgürKod delivers all of these names on one platform: member communication, appointments, quotes and orders, payment collection and reporting are all in one place. So whatever term you search with, the solution you reach is the same; you don’t need to set up separate software.
