Good event booking websites?

[Ambers Echo]

In future I want people to book onto training camps online. It's a PITA doing it by hand. Anyone know any user friendly and reliable websites that can do that? Needs to be able to take a deposit payment at the time of booking and then the balance later. TIA

Not sure if you want to set up a website or use an already established one but Horse-Events seem a really good booking site and widely used.

Does My Riding Life do that?
I've entered plenty through it, but not in 2 payments though.

I was hoping to use an existing site. Thanks for suggestions.

Horse monkey? Our recent RoR camp was booked through that and you could select ‘events’ - deposit, remainder of balance, extra shavings etc

Oh that sounds promising. Horse events does not seem to allow for muklti-day events. x

I have used Equo in the past and it annoys me as take a fair % for allowing you to use it.
I always end up with BACs though the local Badminton club seems to have a semi automated system which simply scans the bank account for your payment which seems quite clever.

I'm trying Horse Monkey but i can;t even get it to recognise me as an organiser not a rider so that's not a great start! Has anyone used a site as an organiser? It needs to be easy to set up and alter as well as easy for the customer to use. Horse events was dead easy but the fields did not really apply. Horse Monkey is - sofar- not proving to be very easy to use my end. Though I like it for entering events myself.

ETA I have found the organisers page now and it looks promising.. Thanks for advice!

We use Equo for the Riding Club.
It allows for multi day events. For camp we have 3 options. Deposit, balance or full payment at once.
Works just fine.

My riding life is my preferred one.
For split payments you can just set it up as different 'classes'. That's what our riding club did for camp.
Class 1-3 for deposit and partial payments. Class four if you wanted to pay in full all at once.

Eventbrite is surprisingly easy to use! Horsemonkey's a pain in the arse imho from the organiser point of view and my riding life is good, but depends how much you'll be using it as it's a big system as it were.

I’ll have a play with some sites in the morning. Thanks - feeling optimistic. This will make life so much easier ?

Have you tried your local hunt ?
They usually have Hunter Trials at this time of year.
