The SGL PLATFORM
From setting up entries months out to closing out prize money the night the last class ends, ShowGrounds handles it in one system.
Show Setup
No more need to rebuild your show from scratch every season. Pull in settings from a past show, save a template for the ones you run every year, and set your fees, rules, and entry forms once. USEF, FEI, and EC registration requirements are already built in, so you’re not bolting them on after the fact.
Entries & Registrations
With already more than 1.6 million entries, Riders enter online through ShowGroundsLive.com, and their membership gets checked automatically against USEF, USHJA, FEI, EC, and SafeSport records in real time. Signatures are collected digitally, one entry can cover multiple riders, and your team can verify entries without chasing down paperwork.
Classes, Scheduling & Order of Go
Set up classes with a rules engine that applies fees, requirements, and limits automatically.
Build your schedule with time estimates and breaks built in, then set order of go by trainer, rider, or manually, with conflicts flagged before they become a problem in the ring. Schedules publish to the web and app instantly, so exhibitors always know what’s next.
Day-of-Show Operations
ShowGrounds is the only horse show software that runs entirely in a browser, which means announcers can track who’s gone in real time. Scoreboards connect directly through Daktronics or Singular integrations. Results post to ShowGroundsLive.com the moment they’re final. Multiple rings can be managed from any browser, and timers from FarmTech, Pyramid, and Ryegate plug right in.
Financials & Checkout
Fees calculate automatically based on the rules you set. Take payment by credit card, ACH, or check. Manage prize money with tax withholding handled for you, process payments in batches, and generate and email invoices without extra steps. Foreign competitors are covered too, with IRS 1042-S filing built in.
