These setups show how stables sell common services in Hopoti. Copy the one closest to yours and change the names, times and prices. For the steps, see Set up a bookable service.
Rule of thumb: sell unlimited use for a period as a Pass, and a set number of visits as a Stablecard. The setups link cards, Passes and options with tags. Tags are on the Growth, Pro and Ultimate plans. Earlier plans (from before September 2026) include them too.
Indoor arena hire
Create an "Indoor arena hire" service in a calendar of its own, such as "Arena", with a cancellation policy so riders can cancel and rebook. Add it to a schedule for the hours the arena is free of lessons, with the restriction "at most 4 participants at the same time" (or as many riders as your arena takes). The arena hire service has four options:
Setting | Arena 60 min | Arena 120 min | Private arena 60 min | Arena with a Pass 60 min |
Price | Your regular price | Twice the regular price | Your private price | 0 |
Duration | 1 hour | 2 hours | 1 hour | 1 hour |
Interval | 1 hour | 1 hour | 1 hour | 1 hour |
Participants | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
Private booking | No | No | Yes | No |
Tags - option can be purchased | All Users, Arena 60 min | All Users, Arena 60 min | All Users, Arena private 60 min | Arena pass 1 month |
Stablecard credits | 1 | 2 | 1 | Not used |
Cancellation card's credits | 1 | 2 | 1 | Not used |
Cancellation card's tags | Arena 60 min | Arena 60 min | Arena private 60 min | Not used |
To sell arena time in advance, add these Stablecards and a Pass in Cards:
Setting | Arena 10 x 60 min | Private arena 10 x 60 min | Arena pass 1 month |
Type | Stablecard | Stablecard | Pass |
Price | 10 x your regular price | 10 x your private price | Your monthly price |
Credits or validity | 10 credits | 10 credits | Valid until 1 month from purchase |
Purchasable without booking | Yes | Yes | Not applicable |
Tags – limit card buying | All Users | All Users | All Users |
Tag that links it to the options | Tags - Card is suitable to: Arena 60 min | Tags - Card is suitable to: Arena private 60 min | Tags - By purchasing the card the customer gets tags: Arena pass 1 month |
Riders with the Pass book the free "Arena with a Pass" option as often as they like while the Pass is valid. Private arena time isn't included, so they pay for it or use a private arena card.
Outdoor arena or course hire
Set it up like indoor arena hire, with its own service and schedule, so outdoor and indoor bookings don't limit each other. If the outdoor arena or course closes for the winter, end the schedule on a set date or add exceptions for the closed weeks.
Private lessons
Create a "Private lesson" service in the calendar you use for lessons, with a cancellation policy. Add it to a schedule for the hours an instructor is available. Both options are private bookings: once a rider books a time, nobody else can book that time in the schedule. The private lesson service has two options:
Setting | Private lesson for one | Private lesson for two |
Price | Your price for one rider | Your price for two riders |
Duration | 1 hour | 1 hour |
Interval | 1 hour | 1 hour |
Participants | 1 | 2 |
Private booking | Yes | Yes |
Tags - option can be purchased | All Users, Private lesson for one | All Users, Private lesson for two |
Stablecard credits | 1 | 1 |
Cancellation card's credits | 1 | 1 |
Cancellation card's tags | Private lesson for one | Private lesson for two |
To sell private lessons in advance, add a 10-credit Stablecard for each option, with the option's tag in Tags - Card is suitable to. Because the tags differ, a credit from a cancelled group lesson can't be used for a private lesson.
Trail rides and hacks
Create a "Trail ride" service with one option per route or length, for example 1 hour in the forest and 2 hours to the lake. The booker books and pays for the whole group at once. Set the minimum skill level on the service, and use the schedule restriction "at most a number of participants at the same time" to match the horses you have for trail rides.
Accommodation and all-day rentals
Stalls, horse trailers and overnight stays work as all-day services. In the service description, say exactly when the rental period starts and ends. Add a schedule with the restriction "at most a number of services at the same time", matching how many stalls, trailers or rooms you have. These options assume riders can't cancel; to allow it, give the service a cancellation policy.
The all-day service has three options:
Setting | Rental (stall or trailer) | One night | Two nights |
Price | Your day price | Your price per night | 2 x your price per night |
Duration | 1 day | 1 day | 2 days |
Interval | 1 day | 1 day | 1 day |
Participants | 1 | 1 | 1 |
Private booking | No | No | No |
Tags - option can be purchased | All Users | All Users | All Users |
Stablecard credits | Not used | Not used | Not used |
When an invoice works better than a service
If a rental is long or its price isn't known in advance, agree the details with the rider and send an invoice instead. Monthly stall rent and livery work best as a recurring invoice, and other products or services you sell now and then work as a one-off invoice. See Send a one-off or recurring invoice.
