Other problems that take time away from what you enjoy:
Stop the endless text chains. Let students book their own lessons online, and let the system handle reminders and scheduling conflicts.
Your phone buzzes constantly. Can I move my lesson? What times are available next week? Sorry, I forgot about today. Managing a lesson schedule via text is a full-time job you didn't sign up for.
Endless back-and-forth texts to coordinate one lesson
Double-bookings because you lost track of who confirmed what
Students forget their lesson time and don't show up
No central view of your weekly schedule
Last-minute cancellations leave slots unfilled
Tracking different schedules for multiple instructors
15-20% revenue loss
Between admin time, no-shows, and unfilled slots from last-minute cancellations, most barns lose thousands per month to scheduling chaos.
Ranch Steward gives your students an online booking system where they can see availability and book instantly, while you stay in control.
Students see real-time availability and book slots themselves. No more text chains.
SMS and email reminders go out automatically. Dramatically reduce no-shows.
The system only shows available slots. No more scheduling conflicts.
Each instructor manages their own availability. Students book with their preferred trainer.
Set cancellation windows and automatically open cancelled slots for rebooking.
Set up weekly lessons that auto-book. Perfect for regular students.
