## What is RideReady?

You know exactly what to do. You've been doing this for years.

The problem is holding fifteen time-sensitive tasks in your head while your horse is eating someone's float cover and your nerves are already through the roof.

RideReady Dressage removes the mental load. Enter your ride time. Get your whole morning — prep and load, travel, plaiting, tacking up, gear check, warm-up, into the arena — calculated backwards and sitting on your phone. Like having a knowledgeable friend next to you saying "you're fine, do this next."

BUILT FOR THE SHOW DAY, NOT THE STABLE

Most horse apps are a digital stable diary. RideReady is built for the day that actually matters.

YOUR TIMELINE, WORKED OUT BACKWARDS
Enter your ride time and get the full schedule instantly. Adjust the timing of any step to suit your horse. Riding two tests in a day? The second one gets a shorter timeline, because the horse is already there.

ON THE MORNING ITSELF
The step you should be doing right now is highlighted as the day runs. If you slip behind, RideReady Dressage tells you by how much, so you can see what needs to give while there's still time to do something about it.

IN YOUR CALENDAR, WITH REMINDERS
Send your whole timeline to your phone's calendar in one tap, into its own RideReady calendar so it never clutters your normal one. Set reminders on the steps you want nudging for.

SCORE TRACKING THAT TELLS YOU SOMETHING
You spend thousands on training and entries, then the score sheet goes in a folder and never comes out. RideReady records your percentage, placing, collective marks and judge comments for every test — and where there's more than one judge, each judge separately. Photograph the sheet and keep it attached. Then look back and see whether you're actually improving.

PACKING LISTS THAT GET FINISHED
Start from a Day Show or Staying Away template and trim it to exactly what you take. Your list lives with the show, tracks what's packed, and shows progress on the show card. The vaccination proof, the stock pin, the spare gloves — nothing left in the tack room.

HORSE CARE IN ONE PLACE
Farrier, vet, dentist, physio — scheduled together with colour-coded reminders, instead of scattered across three text threads with three different people. Log treatments with medicine batch numbers for governing body compliance, and track weight over time.

DOCUMENT VAULT
Registration papers, vaccination records, insurance, vet reports, X-rays — filed per horse and on your phone at the venue. Nothing to dig out the night before.

LESSON NOTES
Keep what your coach actually said, against the horse and the date, so you're not trying to remember it three weeks later.

YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR PHONE
No account on our servers, no network needed, nothing transmitted anywhere. Export a full backup to your Files app whenever you like and restore it on a new device.

FREE AND PRO

RideReady is free for one horse and three competitions a year, including the full timeline, packing lists and score tracking — and you can adjust your step timings on any plan.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.9 — 2026-08-13

Thank you to everyone who has written in since launch. Most of this release comes straight from your suggestions — particularly the prep timeline, which now lines up far better with how show days actually run.

DARK MODE
RideReady now follows your phone's appearance setting. To turn it on, go to Settings → Display & Brightness on your iPhone and choose Dark — RideReady will match. Every screen has been reworked so text, icons and buttons stay readable, which helps at 5am in the lorry when you don't want a bright screen in your face.

TEXT THAT SCALES
The app now respects the text size you've set on your phone, including the larger accessibility sizes. Every screen reflows rather than shrinking or cutting words off, so you can actually read your timeline in bright sun.

YOUR TIMELINE KNOWS WHERE YOU ARE
On show day, the step you should be doing right now is highlighted. If you're running behind, the timeline tells you by how much, so you can see at a glance what needs to give.

A PREP SCHEDULE THAT MATCHES HOW SHOW DAYS REALLY RUN
This one came directly from rider feedback. The default timeline now starts with Prep and Load, adds a Rider Gear Check before you mount, gives warm-up a more realistic 30 minutes, and drops the steps most of you were deleting anyway. Whichever way you create a timeline, you now get exactly the same schedule.

ADJUST YOUR TIMES ON ANY PLAN
Step timings can now be adjusted whether or not you subscribe. Plaiting takes 25 minutes for some horses and 90 for others, and a schedule that doesn't match your horse isn't much use to anyone.

FREE TRIAL NOW MEASURED IN SHOW DAYS
The trial used to run for 14 days from installing. Most riders compete about once a month, so it often ran out before they'd taken the app to a competition. Your trial now covers a full competition day — the day the app is actually for.

CALENDAR SYNC
The sync button now tells you whether a timeline is already in your calendar. Deleting a test also removes its events, instead of leaving them behind.

A CHANGE TO THE DOCUMENT VAULT
The Document Vault is now part of RideReady Pro, alongside Care Scheduling. Your documents are still there and nothing has been deleted — you'll need a subscription to open them. It's included for the whole of your trial.

ALSO IN THIS RELEASE
Screen names in place of the logo at the top of every screen, a shorter first run, clearer empty screens, corrected rounding on multi-judge score totals, and a long list of layout fixes throughout.

As always, if something's not right, tap Send Feedback in Settings. Every message is read.

### 1.7 — 2026-05-11

Bug fixes.  New tasks and changes to the order of tasks are now being saved properly. Fixed an issue where edited tasks weren't saving properly.

### 1.5 — 2026-05-03

WHAT'S NEW IN V1.5
• Backup & Restore — export all your data to Files and restore it on a new device
• Packing lists — create your personal show list from a template, track progress from the
show card
• Document vault — organised folder structure per horse (vet reports, ID papers, body
work)
• Medicine batch numbers — log treatment batch numbers for competition compliance
• All Horses health incidents — record yard-wide treatments across all horses at once
• Entry deadline calendar events — closing dates now appear in your iOS calendar, not
just notifications
• Bathroom break added to the default pre-show timeline
• Bug fixes: care event horse saving, show type default, score display, timeline font sizes

### 1.4 — 2026-04-09

Some additional user experience improvements and bug fixes in this version:
 - Shows card now defaults to Upcoming (nearest first); All view sorts newest to oldest             
 - Lesson/Training Notes card: replaced "X more in Care tab" with a "See all lessons" button that
  opens a full scrollable sheet                                                                      
 - "Entered" badge on show cards made slightly larger for legibility                              
 - Score editing: horse field is now always editable (was locked to static text when linked to a    
  show)                                                                                              
 - Score editing: fixed bug where editing a score was silently rounding judge scores to 1 decimal   
  place, causing precision loss on re-save                                                           
 - Score display: now shows up to 4 decimal places (e.g. 67.9055%); average automatically recomputed
   from per-judge records so stale stored values self-correct on load                                
 - Score storage: horse_id now correctly updated when saving edits

### 1.3 — 2026-04-08

• Improved version of the packing templates.  Users now have a choice of standard Showday list or a larger "Away Show" list, and can create their own custom list based on these templates. 
  • Health Incident Log — Record health events (temperature spikes, treatments, medications) per horse with date, time, 
  person treating, and follow-up notes. Found in the Care tab.
  • Document Vault Hub — View and manage documents across all your horses from one screen in the Horses tab, with a     
  horse filter.                                             
  • Home screen — Fully scrollable layout; Shows, Care, and Lessons are all visible without clipping on any device.     
  • Care tab — Prominent Add Care Item button; dedicated Health Incidents section.
  • Help & Support — Expanded FAQ and iCloud backup guidance       
  • Bug fixes and performance improvements.
