Events

Events are your barn's shared calendar — lessons, shows, social days, and group trail rides with a live map. Open your events from the events tile on the Barn tab, from My Events on your Profile, or from the Events shortcut on the Ride tab. Everything works offline: events you create or change save on your phone and upload automatically when you're back online.

Browse your events

Your events all live in one list: your barns' events, your personal events, and events from other barns that you joined or saved. Each row shows which barn it belongs to (or "Private" for personal events).

• The header toggle flips between Upcoming and Past. The list always opens on Upcoming.
• Tap any event to open its details.
• Pull down to refresh.

Create an event

1. Tap New Event at the bottom of the events list.
2. Give the event a name, then fill in the rest from the review screen:
   • Date, Starts, and Ends — set right on the page.
   • Barn calendar — put it on one of your barns' calendars, or keep it personal.
   • Who can join? — barn events default to Barn members; choose Anyone with link to let guests join through the invite QR or link. Personal events are always open-invite.
   • Trail route — attach a saved route from your trails (yours or your barn's) to make it a trail ride event with a live map.
   • A meetup location and a description.
3. Tap Publish event. The event opens with a small celebration once it's saved — if you're offline, it uploads the next time you're connected.

RSVP to an event

Open the event and use the two pills at the bottom: Going or Can't go. Tap your answer again to clear it. The going count updates right away.

Below the pills, the calendar row shows whether the event is on your calendar:

• Going to an event (or creating one) adds it to your calendar automatically.
• Not going, but want to keep it? Tap Add to your calendar to save it. Saved events stay in your list and remain available offline — this works on past events too.

Invite people to an event

If an event allows guests (or is personal), the event's creator sees a share button next to the event's name. It opens a ticket-style invite: a date tile, the event's name and time, and a QR code with Scan to RSVP underneath. Tap the share button on the ticket to send the invite link.

People who scan the QR or open the link get a preview with the date, time, and going count — and one tap to RSVP, or RSVP and join the ride if it's already underway. Friends without the app see a web preview of the event first.

Join a live trail ride

Events with a route attached get a live map. Starting 15 minutes before the event begins:

• Open the event and tap Join event — you land on the Ride tab's live map.
• Or use the Events shortcut on the Ride tab: the Join an event sheet lists everything you can join right now. Tap Join on a row, or Scan invite code to join by QR (there's also a type-the-code option if scanning won't work).

Once you've joined:

• The lobby shows the event, who's riding, and who's watching.
• Tap Start ride to ride and record — you need to be near the route's start (about a mile) before the ride can begin.
• Or just watch: you'll see riders move on the map in real time without riding yourself.
• Already joined? The event's page shows Go to map to bring you back.

Follow a route without joining

Don't want to be on the live map? Open the event and tap Follow route — it arms the event's route for navigation on your own ride. You get turn-by-turn route following, but you're not joined: nobody sees you, and your ride stays a normal personal ride. This works even before the join window opens and on past events.

Who can see my location?

• Watching a live event never shares your position — only riders appear on the map.
• Riding in a live event shares your live position with the other participants and watchers of that event, for the duration of the ride.
• After the ride, your ride is yours. It only appears in the event's recap if you tick Post ride to the event on the ride summary (off by default), or post it later from the ride's page. You can also remove a posted ride from the event at any time with Remove from event.

Watch the replay

Once a trail ride event ends, its page shows the attendance record — how many went and how many rides were shared. If riders posted rides with routes, tap Watch the replay to play a timelapse of the ride: everyone's tracks animate across the map together, with play/pause and a scrubber to jump around.

If you rode but haven't shared, the event page nudges you with Post your ride to this event.

Edit an event

If you created the event and it hasn't started yet, open it and tap Edit event in the actions list (or long-press it in the events list). Each field saves as you change it — name, description, date and times — so there's no separate save step. Editing locks once the event starts.

Leave an event

Joined the live map but changed your mind? Tap Leave live map on the event page or in the lobby. Leaving only takes you off the live map — your RSVP isn't changed, and the event stays in your list.

Delete or remove an event

• Delete event (creator only) removes the event entirely — this can't be undone. If the event is part of a repeating series, every occurrence is removed.
• Remove from barn: on a barn event, the "Shared with…" row lets the creator — or the barn's owner — take the event off the barn's calendar. The event becomes personal to its creator; anyone who joined or saved it keeps it. Barn owners can use this to moderate their calendar.

Tips

• RSVP'ing Going is all it takes to get an event onto your calendar — no separate save needed.
• Save events you can't attend to keep them handy (and offline) without RSVP'ing.
• The Join an event sheet only shows events that are joinable right now; everything else lives in the full events list.
• Get to the meetup with Get directions on the event page — it hands the spot to your phone's maps app.
