Here's how to join a stable in StalliQ: Open the Stable tab, tap "Join stable", enter the 6-digit invite code and confirm. Your stable operator gets a notification and approves you. After that you have access to riding lessons, facility booking, announcements, the weather widget and your lesson cards. Joining and using StalliQ as a member are free.
Requirements
You need a StalliQ account (see Getting started) and your stable's 6-digit invite code. Ask your stable operator or riding instructor for the code.
How do I join a stable?
Open the Stable tab in the bottom navigation. If you don't belong to a stable yet, you'll see the "Join stable" button. Tap it.
Step 1: Enter the 6-digit invite code (letters and numbers, e.g. "A3K9M2"). Above the input field you'll see the hint "Ask the stable owner for the code". Tap "Next".
Step 2: StalliQ shows you the stable it found, with name and address. Check that it's the right stable and tap "Join stable".
Step 3: You'll see the confirmation "Join request sent. Waiting for approval." Your stable operator is notified by push notification and can accept your request. As soon as you're approved, you have full access to all stable features.
What do I see in the Stable tab after joining?
Once you're approved, the Stable tab shows several areas via pill toggles:
Overview - Your stable dashboard with the weather widget (3-day forecast with warnings for frost, wind or thunderstorms), your stable operator's current announcements, your upcoming bookings, your lesson card balances and the stable information (address, opening hours, stable rules, contact).
Schedule - The facility occupancy in a day/list view with a rolling date strip. Here you reserve a facility via the plus button (riding arena, outdoor arena, etc., if released by the stable) and see when something is occupied.
Lessons - The dedicated view for browsing and booking individual riding lessons. This is where you book and cancel lessons, use the waitlist and rebook. Details under Booking riding lessons.
Members - The member list with names, roles and skill levels.
Events - Your stable's stable events and public events. Details under Events.
What can I do as a stable member?
As a member you have access to:
- Booking and cancelling riding lessons - including the waitlist and rebooking
- Series booking - Book all dates of a recurring lesson at once
- Booking resources/facilities - riding arena, outdoor arena, etc. (if released by the stable)
- Reading announcements - bulletin board with priorities (Urgent, Important, Normal)
- Viewing lesson cards - your current quota with remaining balance and validity
- Weather at the stable - 3-day forecast with automatic warnings
- Stable information - address (tappable for navigation), opening hours, stable rules
Not available for regular members: the Admin tab (Riding School, Infrastructure, Organization, Settings, Analytics and more), creating riding lessons, processing join requests and viewing the invite code. These functions are reserved for stable operators and managers.
What are announcements?
Your stable operator can publish announcements on the bulletin board - for example "Arena closed due to frost" or "New course schedule starting next week". Announcements have three priority levels: Urgent (red), Important (orange) and Normal (gray). Depending on the configuration, you may also receive a push notification.
How does the weather widget work?
The weather widget shows the 3-day forecast for your stable's location. It warns you automatically about special conditions: frost (below 0°C), strong wind, thunderstorms and heat. If your stable has weather push enabled, you'll receive a notification when extreme weather is expected.
How do I leave a stable?
If you want to leave a stable, open the Stable tab and tap the three-dot menu in the top right, next to the stable name. There you'll find the "Leave stable" option; a tap opens the confirmation prompt directly. After leaving, you no longer have access to riding lessons, your bookings and the stable features. Your personal horse data (profiles, health, appointments) stays fully intact.
When you leave, StalliQ automatically cleans up your stable links: open riding lesson bookings are cancelled, horse sharings on stable horses end, and your own horses that you'd boarded at this stable are removed from the stable (the horse itself stays with you). If you still have an active lesson card with a remaining balance, sort that out with your stable operator first - leaving is only possible once there's no open card left. The same applies if a stable operator removes you from the stable.
Frequently asked questions
Where do I get the invite code for my stable in StalliQ?
Ask your stable operator or riding instructor. The 6-digit invite code is generated by the stable operator in the admin area and can be passed on by message, notice or word of mouth.
Why don't I see anything in the StalliQ Stable tab after joining?
Your stable operator has to confirm your join request first. Until you're approved, you have no access to the stable features. Ask your stable operator whether they've seen the request in the member list under "Join requests".
Can I join several stables at once in StalliQ?
No, you can currently join one stable. If you want to switch stables, leave the current stable first and then join the new one.
Does it cost anything to join a stable in StalliQ?
No. Joining and full use as a member - including booking riding lessons, lesson cards, announcements and the weather widget - are free. Only the stable operator pays for the stable subscription.
My invite code in StalliQ isn't working - what should I do?
Check that you entered the code correctly (6 characters, uppercase letters and numbers). If the error message "Invalid invite code" appears, the stable operator may have generated a new code. If "This stable has reached its member limit" appears, the stable has hit its member limit - the stable operator can raise the limit by upgrading the stable subscription.
