It’s a long day.
It won’t go
exactly to plan.
You know the work. Pack, load, get the horses settled, get ready, show, and pack it all up again.
That’s where RingStatus helps me keep the day organized, work through the changes, and get the useful part to the people who need it.
I’m sure you’ve gotten pretty good at juggling. And yeah, sometimes the barn looks like a circus. But you’ve still got horses to get ready and a ring that isn’t waiting for you.
There’s a horse behind every ride.
Their day needs a plan, too.
Feed, turnout, exercise, braiding, the farrier—there’s plenty happening before you get on. RingStatus helps you keep track of where each horse is, who has them, and what they need next. Special instructions stay with the horse when someone else takes over.
Keep feed, turnout, exercise, vet and farrier visits, and night check organized around each horse’s day. Include special instructions and medication restrictions, with clear handoffs so whoever takes over knows what the horse needs and when.
Plan braiding, grooming, tack, and prep rides around when each horse needs to be ready. Keep special preparation instructions, medication restrictions, and show guidelines in view so the person getting the horse ready knows what’s needed and when.
Keep track of each horse as they leave the stall, warm up, head to the ring, and return for recovery. Make sure the groom, rider, and trainer know where the horse is, who has them, what they need, and where they should be heading next.
The round is over, but the horse still needs care. Include removing braids in the recovery plan, with clear instructions, timing, and someone responsible for each job. If another person takes over, they need to know what’s been done and what the horse still needs.
Your lists have lists.
If it leaves, it needs
to come back home.
Every horse has things that need to go with them. RingStatus helps you see what’s packed, what’s missing, and what you need to get when you arrive. As horses come and go, you can keep track of their tack and what needs to head home with them.
Start with what each horse needs: feed, tack, supplies, and equipment. Keep track of what’s packed, what’s still missing, and what you’ll need to get when you arrive.
Coordinate the horses and the supply truck so each horse’s tack arrives and gets unloaded when they do. Track progress and estimate arrival time so staff know when to be ready to receive them.
Get each horse into their assigned stall with their matching tack. The rest goes to assigned feed and tack locations. Stall cards are prepared with special instructions, and horse care starts on time. Lists show what’s missing or broken, what you need to get on site, and what’s queued for return.
Pack up each horse’s tack and supplies for home or the next event. Keep track of what’s repacked, what’s broken or missing, and what needs to be replaced when you get back.
Back to it.
It’s a long day. Take the crazy out.
RingStatus won’t make the day shorter or stop the plan from changing, but I bet you’ll have a little less to juggle from now on.
Our friends have been spreading the word. We’re adding new barns a few at a time, and we’ll let you know when there’s room for yours.

Heading
Your horses, right beside their classes.
The horses you follow appear in the schedule with their order-of-go positions beside their names. If you’re keeping track of several in the same class, you can see where each one goes without matching the names to a separate list. It stays up to date without you having to refresh.
The ring won’t wait.
Know what’s ahead of your ride.
The published schedule includes everything—every ring, every group, every class, every time. It can run hundreds of lines long. Some are yours. Some you want to keep an eye on. The rest is just noise.
RingStatus keeps your team’s classes and the ones you’re following together and updated all day. Print the schedule, view it on your phone, or ask for what you need through two-way SMS.
Keep your team’s classes and the ones you’re following together. See horses, classes, rings, and published times so you can spot conflicts and plan around them.
Follow progress, pace, and orders of go in the rings that matter to you. Text “Ring 6” to see what’s happening there now and what’s coming up next.
See your next ride and upcoming classes, with entries ahead and updated estimated timing as the ring moves. Receive reminders when changes matter to you.
I can text ‘Lainey’ and see what’s next for me without fumbling through app notifications.
Keep up with your team’s results as they become available throughout the day.
I can text ‘Lainey Results’ and get all my results for the day.
Before the ride.
Get what you need. Text back.
Knowing what changed is only part of it. Sometimes you need to ask a question, confirm a horse is ready, update your location, or tell someone you’re on your way. RingStatus keeps that conversation going with the people involved.
Plan feed, turnout, vet, and farrier visits around each horse’s needs, with special care instructions and medication restrictions kept in view.
Text “Ring 6” for what’s happening now and next, your name for upcoming rides, or your name plus “Results” for the day’s results. You can also ask a question, confirm a horse is ready, or update your location. The conversation goes both ways.
Add comments to the show schedule, rings, classes, trips, riders, and horses. Only your team or barn can see them. In the mobile app, toggle comments on to read, add, or reply. They stay hidden until you need them, so they don’t get in the way of your view.
Follow a ring, class, trip, trainer, rider, or groom. Subscribe to severe weather and results updates, too, so you can keep up with what matters to your day.
I’m using it, too.
From the tack room to the show ring—and home again.
Your barn may already have a system for records and billing. Maybe even something for the whiteboard and daily jobs. You’ve got the same show schedule I do. Sure, you can keep using all of that.
But when you take the horses to a show—even a local one—you still need to keep the day organized away from the barn. RingStatus helps keep your horses, rides, changes, and team in sync on the road—all the way through getting everyone back home.
