Affordable websites, online booking, card payments, rider forms and donation pages for RDA groups, riding schools and equestrian charities.
Clarion helps small equestrian organisations move away from paper forms, spreadsheets, bank transfers and scattered messages — without paying for software built for large commercial yards.
Most small equestrian groups aren't short on dedication — they're short on time. The admin is what wears volunteers down.
"We're drowning in messages."
"People keep forgetting to pay."
"Our website is out of date."
"The volunteer who ran the site left."
"We still use paper rider forms."
"We can't easily take donations."
Some centres genuinely need a full commercial platform — horse records, staff rotas, livery, stock, events and complex payment flows — and that can be exactly the right choice for them. Many smaller groups simply don't need all that. If your real problems are your website, bookings, rider forms, payments and donations, Clarion builds a right-sized setup your volunteers can actually use — simpler, cheaper and easier to hand over.
We'll tell you honestly if Clarion isn't the right fit — that's part of the free triage call.
Start with what you need now and add the rest later. Everything runs on affordable, mainstream platforms you fully own.
A tidy, professional, mobile-friendly site in your branding — and the confidence to update it yourself.
Riders and parents book sessions themselves, around the clock, with your availability and rules built in.
Take deposits or fees at the point of booking. Less chasing, fewer no-shows, cleaner accounts.
Registration and enquiry forms with safeguarding-conscious fields and GDPR-aware data handling.
An always-on giving page with one-off and in-memory donations, so support no longer depends on asking.
A simple how-to pack, a walkthrough, and optional ongoing support so the site never lives in one person's head.
Lowlands Farm RDA needed a professional online presence and a simpler way to handle bookings, payments, rider information and donations — without buying a large commercial yard-management system.
A branded website, an online booking journey, a booking form, a card-payment flow, a donation page, rider/session information capture, and a volunteer-friendly handover.
Self-service booking — riders pick a date and session in seconds.
Booking & payment captured together.
A mobile-friendly donation page lets supporters give a one-off gift — or donate in someone's name — without a single phone call.
Full yard software suits larger centres. DIY builders suit confident, time-rich teams. Clarion is built for small groups that want practical help and a clean handover.

Charity and RDA pricing available where appropriate.

Volunteer-run groups needing simple booking, safer rider information capture, donation pages and a website that doesn't depend on one technical person.
Schools that want online enquiries, bookings and card payments, and a more professional web presence — without moving to a full yard system.
Clearer public information, supporter journeys, donation and campaign pages, and better digital handover between volunteers or trustees.
RDA groups based at a larger yard, where the host may have systems but the group still needs its own identity, donation route and volunteer-friendly admin.
That's exactly what the free triage call is for. Tell us what isn't working, and we'll point you to the simplest fix — even if that isn't us.
Tell us what's not workingWhether you're a volunteer trustee, an RDA coordinator or a riding-school owner, you're trusting us with rider data, payments and donations. Here's how we keep that safe — and keep you in control.
Run by people who understand riding schools, RDA groups, BHS training, volunteers and yard life — so we design around how equestrian organisations actually work.
Forms designed to collect only what's needed, with clear ownership and access.
Forms and access designed with safeguarding in mind. Your organisation stays responsible for its own safeguarding policies and decisions.
Simple handover guides and walkthroughs included with every build.
Systems built in your name, with your accounts and your data. No long contracts.
UK-based support that recommends what fits — not the biggest system.
We help your group understand what accounts you have, who owns them, where your data goes, and what happens if a volunteer steps back. Every build includes a simple handover pack — so the system never lives in one person's head.
The more you tell us, the more useful our reply. We'll point you to the simplest next step — no sales pitch, no pressure.
