Full lessons, parents in the loop
A hack out, a pony lesson, the yard open day: SmartChat sends lesson times, free places and cancellations straight to riders and parents on WhatsApp - everyone properly opted in, and every message actually read.
Sound familiar?
Cancellations lost in notes and group chats
A thunderstorm, an instructor off sick, a waterlogged arena: word has to go out in minutes. Instead, a note goes up on the yard gate and the parents' group chat turns into chaos.
Holiday courses fill up far too late
You need time to sort out horses and staff for a riding week, but the bookings only trickle in when the dates are almost on top of you.
The waiting list lives on scraps of paper
Enquiries about pony lessons and horse shares sit on sticky notes, in emails and in your head. When a place comes free, nobody can find them again.
How you use SmartChat
Fill free places in lessons
When someone drops out, the message goes out to the riders it suits, and the lesson is full again without you dialling a single number.
Fill your holiday courses early
You announce riding weeks and holiday camps well in advance, parents book right there in the chat, and you sort out horses and helpers in good time.
Weather cancellations in one minute
When a storm rolls in, every family knows in good time, and nobody turns up at the yard in jodhpurs for a lesson that isn't happening.
Announce open days and shows
Open day, taster afternoon, Christmas ride: your events reach every family on your list, not just the ones who are at the yard anyway.

FAQs
We already have a parents' group chat - why add SmartChat?
A group chat is chaos: everyone replies to everyone, the message that matters scrolls away, and there's no record of who agreed to what. With SmartChat you message everyone individually, all properly signed up with a double opt-in, and the AI writes the text for you.
How do riders and parents get onto the list?
They sign themselves up: through the QR code on the yard gate or in the tack room, or through the link in your course confirmation. Every sign-up is confirmed and recorded.
Is all of this above board legally?
Yes. Every consent runs through a double opt-in and is logged, and anyone can unsubscribe at any time with a single word. That's exactly what GDPR asks for.
What does it cost for a yard like ours?
SmartChat plans start at 188 euros per month on the annual plan and contacts are always unlimited. Meta bills you for the WhatsApp fees directly, and SmartChat adds nothing on top.
Between the yard, teaching and the office, when am I meant to keep this up?
Hardly any work at all. The AI builds your landing page, your newsletters and your follow-ups from your website and drafts every message. You read it through and tap send - done before the horses are untacked.
