Between Rides

Between Rides is a South African-focused equestrian journal that helps owners, riders and stable managers record rides, manage horse health and run a stable from one app. Use built-in GPS ride tracking to capture distance, speed, route and gait time, keep vaccination and vet records, schedule farrier visits and monitor feed and inventory. Riders can add exercise logs, photos and progress charts, while managers can handle invoicing and stock control; optional upgrades add professional show and performance analytics.

Key Features

GPS ride tracking with distance, speed, route and walk/trot/canter time, plus notes and photos for each ride. Health management covers vaccinations, vet visits, deworming, farrier reminders and secure medical records. Stable management (premium) provides invoicing, feed inventory, stock monitoring and multi-horse support. Show tracking and performance analytics (professional) record results, placings and discipline-specific statistics. Exercise ideas, saved favourite trails and rider/horse performance logs help you measure progress. Flexible subscription tiers in ZAR range from a free plan to professional packages for advanced features.

Advantages

Between Rides combines ride logs, health records and stable operations in one place, reducing the need for multiple apps. It is tailored for South African riders with local pricing and features that reflect regional needs. Cloud-synced records and photo documentation keep horse histories secure and accessible across devices, and the interface is designed to be intuitive for both riders and stable managers.

Disadvantages

Some advanced tools such as stable management and performance analytics require paid tiers. The free tier is limited to two horses, which may not suit larger stables. Instructor and additional coaching tools are listed as coming soon and are not yet available.
