Here's how to create a public event in StalliQ: Go to More → My Events and tap the plus button. The 4-step wizard walks you through it: enter the basics, configure slots, choose a booking mode and publish. Each published event uses one event credit. You'll need the PRO plan (3 credits/month) or a Stall plan.
Requirements
- PRO plan (€9.99/month, 3 event credits) or a Stall plan (5–50 credits depending on tier)
- At least 1 event credit available
- Optional: stable connection - events can be created as a "stable event" (using stable credits) or as a "personal event" (using PRO credits)
How do I create an event?
The event creation wizard has four steps:
Step 1 - The basics:
- Title - name of the event (e.g. "Dressage clinic with Max Mustermann")
- Description - a detailed description
- Date and time - start and, if applicable, end
- Location - for stable events the stable address is filled in automatically (name, address, postal code, town). For personal events you enter it as free text
Step 2 - Slots: Slots are the individual time windows or starting spots of your event. For each slot you can set:
- Name - e.g. "Morning" or "Test E"
- Start and end time - optional: shown or marked as "time to be announced"
- Maximum participants - the spot limit per slot
- Performance classes - which levels are allowed for this slot (e.g. E, E/A, A*)
Step 3 - Booking mode:
Here you decide how participants get their starting spots. You can't change this decision once the event is published.
Self-selection: Participants see all available slots and pick their own. The booking is confirmed instantly. Ideal for clinics and courses with fixed time windows where the order of sign-up matters (e.g. morning / afternoon).
Organizer assigns: Participants sign up for the event without picking a slot. You see all sign-ups and assign the slots yourself - e.g. by performance class, horse or organizational considerations. Only when you tap "Publish assignment" do participants learn their slot via push notification. Ideal for tournaments and tests where you set the starting order.
Additional options:
- Allow multiple entries - participants can book several slots (e.g. dressage and jumping on the same day)
- Cancellation deadline - the period during which cancellation is free
Step 4 - Visibility and publishing:
Choose your event's visibility:
- Public - visible to all StalliQ users in the Discover view. Uses 1 event credit
- Stable members only - visible only to members of your stable (marked with a lock icon). Uses no event credits - ideal for internal clinics, stable championships or courses
Check the preview and tap "Publish".
Stable event or personal event?
When creating an event you'll be asked whether it's a stable event or a personal event:
Stable event: Event credits come from the stable quota. The stable address is filled in automatically as the venue. Makes sense for clinics and courses at your riding facility.
Personal event: Event credits come from your personal PRO quota. You enter the location freely. Makes sense for external events or events without a stable connection.
Hosting approval for stable members
If you want to create an event on behalf of your stable as a PRO riding instructor but aren't a manager/owner yourself, the event goes through a hosting approval flow: when you publish, a request goes to the stable manager, who has to approve your event before it goes live. You'll get a push notification once it's approved (or rejected). Until approval the event doesn't use a credit yet. Managers and owners can publish stable events directly without approval.
StalliQ also blocks duplicate events with an identical title + start time on the same day, so the same clinic doesn't get published more than once by accident.
How do I manage bookings?
Under My Events → select an event you see all bookings. With self-selection bookings are confirmed automatically. With organizer assigns you see a list of all sign-ups and assign them to slots:
- Open the event and go to the participant view
- Assign each sign-up to a slot (drag & drop or selection)
- Tap "Publish assignment" - all participants get a push notification with their assigned slot
How do I cancel or delete an event?
Draft events (not yet published): can be deleted - no credit used.
Published events: can be cancelled via the "Cancel event" button. All participants are notified automatically and their bookings are cancelled. The event credit used is not refunded.
How can I contact participants?
On the participant list you can tap individual participants and send them a direct message. StalliQ automatically creates a conversation between you and the participant.
Frequently asked questions
How many event credits do I get in StalliQ per month?
PRO users get 3 event credits/month. Stable operators get, depending on tier: S=5, M=10, L=20, XL=50 credits/month. You can buy additional credits: 5 for €9.99 or 15 for €19.99.
What does a participant see at my StalliQ event?
Participants see: title, description, date, location with address (tappable for navigation), available slots with open spots, performance classes and your name as the organizer. After booking, the event appears in their calendar.
Can I still change the booking mode of a published event in StalliQ?
No. Once published, the booking mode is locked, since bookings may already have come in. You'll see a note "Booking mode can't be changed after publishing". In that case, create a new event.
How do I create an event with performance classes in StalliQ?
In step 2 (Slots) you can assign performance classes per slot. StalliQ suggests the common equestrian classes: E, E/A, A*, L, M, S. Participants only see slots that match their level (if they belong to a stable with level assignment).
