Manage Riding Partnerships

A riding partnership is more than a meeting at the stable. It's a trust relationship with responsibility, access to an animal and shared resources. HorseCompanion turns the loose agreement into a clearly documented relationship, without making it feel like bureaucracy.

Invite in 30 seconds

A new riding partner is one click away: enter the email address, optionally set days per week and start/end date, add a few notes, send. The invited person gets an in-app notification, registers for free and sees the horse in their app from then on. No shared login, no shared passwords, every person has their own account.

Accept or reject

The invited person sees the request and can actively accept or reject it. Only after acceptance is the partnership "active" and both sides see activities, health records, calendar and everything else about the horse. If they reject or don't respond, the status stays visible, you know where you stand without having to ask.

Document days and period

For each partnership you record what was agreed: how many days per week, from when to when, plus free-text notes for anything that doesn't fit in a field. It's not a legal contract, but a shared reminder of what was agreed, useful when a few months later the question comes up.

Multiple horses, multiple constellations

If you have several horses, you can set up different partnerships per horse. The rider who rides your gelding on Mondays doesn't see your mare at all, even though both horses are managed in the same account. Every horse switch is one tap.

History instead of reset

When a partnership ends, new job, move, different phase of life, you close it with one click. The person loses access immediately. Their entries in your calendar and activities stay as history: you don't lose who was at which activity when. The other side gets a notification that the partnership has ended.

Frequently asked questions

How do I invite a riding partner?

On the horse, tap "Invite riding partner", enter the email, optionally set start/end date and days per week. The invited person gets a notification, registers for free and can accept or reject.

What happens when a partnership ends?

You can end the partnership any time. The person loses access to the horse immediately, but all their existing entries stay as history, you don't lose who was at which activity when.

Can I manage different partnerships across multiple horses?

Yes. Each horse has its own partnership. The rider on your gelding doesn't see your mare at all, even though both horses live in the same account.
