Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about Equine Workspace, pricing, setup, websites, business tools and the ways you can make the platform your own.
Understanding Equine Workspace
Equine Workspace is a connected business platform created for equine businesses and professionals. It brings tools for managing clients, horses, scheduling, communication, payments, marketing, business operations and more into one place. Your Workspace can be configured around the way your business actually works.
Equine Workspace is designed for a wide range of equine businesses, including trainers, boarding operations, breeders, equine professionals and service providers, horse sales and consignment businesses, shows and events, associations and organizations, and education and training businesses.
No. Equine Workspace is designed for many types of equine businesses. An independent bodyworker, saddle fitter or instructor may use it very differently from a breeding operation, association, training barn or education business.
No. The Professional plan is designed for independent professionals and smaller operations, while Business and Organization plans support growing teams and more complex operations.
No. Use the tools that make sense for your business. Equine Workspace is designed so you can start with what you need and use more capabilities as they become useful to your operation.
In many cases, it may. Equine Workspace includes capabilities that businesses often manage through several separate systems, including CRM, scheduling, payments, marketing, forms, communication and business workflows. You can also continue using other tools where appropriate and connect supported systems when integrations are available.
Running Your Business in Workspace
Depending on your setup, you can manage clients, contacts, horses, appointments, calendars, tasks, leads, sales activity, invoices, payments, documents, communication, marketing, forms, client experiences, reporting and other business operations from your Workspace.
Yes. Equine Workspace can be configured with equine-specific records so horses can be connected with the people, documents, appointments, services and other information relevant to your operation.
Yes. One of the advantages of an equine-specific configuration is the ability to organize relationships between records. For example, a horse can be associated with an owner or client and connected with relevant appointments, documents, tasks or other business information.
Yes. Equine Workspace supports team users and permissions. Your setup can be structured so different team members have access to the areas they need for their work.

Client portal experiences are available for supported use cases. Depending on your configuration, portals can be used to give clients, members or students access to relevant information, resources, courses, communities or other connected experiences.
Yes. Calendars and appointment scheduling are part of the core platform. The exact calendar setup can be configured around the services, team members and scheduling needs of your business.

In many cases, yes. The best approach depends on your existing website and what you want it to connect with. We can review the current setup and determine what makes sense.
Website design is a separate service unless it is specifically included as part of a current package or promotion. Equine Workspace itself does not require you to purchase a new website.

Specialized Tools for Equine Workflows
Workspace Apps are specialized tools designed for workflows that benefit from a more focused operational experience than standard business software alone. They work alongside the core Workspace rather than replacing it.

Yes. Additional specialized applications are being explored for areas such as breeding operations, horse wellness and activity, shows and clinics, training operations, associations, education and equine professional workflows. Apps that have not been released should be clearly labeled Coming or Planned.
A Workspace Built Around Your Business
No. Different types of equine businesses have different needs. Workspace can be configured around the records, workflows, team structure and business processes that make sense for your operation.

Yes. Custom workflows can be created when your business needs automation or processes beyond the standard setup. Depending on complexity, custom implementation may be quoted separately.
Supported integrations are available, and custom integration options may also be possible depending on the system. We evaluate integrations based on the software involved and the business need rather than promising universal compatibility.
Supported email and calendar connections are available. The exact setup depends on the provider and your Workspace configuration.
Yes. Standard setup is included, and we will help establish the core Workspace configuration appropriate for your plan. Businesses needing more extensive implementation, migration or custom development can add those services separately.
