How it works
From entry blank to final invoice
- Step 1
Pick an upcoming show
Choose it from the show list — or add a local show — then pick the week, horses and riders going.
- Step 2
Get the estimate
Every line — entries, stabling, coaching, grooming, hauling, hotel — is priced with a low, expected and high range.
- Step 3
Add up several shows
Select the next show, the next three, or any mix, and see the combined cost and where the money goes.
- Step 4
Track against it
Once you go, log receipts and payments against the estimate so there are no surprises.
Features
The financial clarity of a wealth manager, built for the show barn
Horse Show Sense knows how showing is actually priced — per class, per day, per week, per horse — so the forecast matches the invoice.
Season planner
Lay out the whole season, see month-by-month cash needs and spot back-to-back weeks before they happen.
Scenario comparisons
Compare a circuit against a closer show, one horse against two, or flying against driving — side by side.
Shared-cost allocation
Split the van, the tack stall or the grooming between horses, riders or families by rule you can explain.
Expenses & receipts
Record what was actually spent and paid, and see the variance against the approved budget.
Reports that look the part
Printable season and show reports, plus CSV and Excel exports for your accountant.
AI budget advisor
Ask what's driving the cost or where to save. Every figure comes from your budget, never guessed.
For families
One plan for every rider, horse and invoice
Budget the season before it starts, decide which shows are worth it, and stop being surprised by the trainer's bill.
- Invite a spouse or rider with view-only or editing access — financial details stay private to your account.
- Approve a trainer's proposal line by line, and keep a record of exactly what you agreed to.
