EC Pro Market leading intelligent equestrian online booking, staff and stable management system 🐴📲🥳

15/10/2026

Do you know who's actually holding your riding school's money?

Every lesson fee, livery payment and camp deposit your clients pay online sits with a payment provider before it reaches you. Most riding schools have never been told who that provider is.

It's worth knowing. According to the FCA, UK payment firms that went bust between 2018 and 2023 left their customers, on average, 65% short of what they were owed.

Beth explains why we could have built EC Pro on a cheaper payment setup, and why we chose Stripe instead.

If you're not sure who processes your current system's payments, ask your provider. And if you'd like a straight answer on ours, get in touch, we're happy to talk you through it.

"It's not a bad habit." Crib-biting, box walking, and pawing are stereotypic behaviours, and they're almost always a sign of stress, not naughtiness or boredom.

The good news is they're often manageable. More turnout, more forage (little and often), and more social contact with other horses can make a real difference.

Before EC Pro, Croft ran on paper.

Riding school clients booking in at times that suited them, but not the instructors who were mid-lesson. A busy livery yard where staff had to remember, or write down, every service request, and some got missed.

Moving online took away that stress completely. It all happens in the background now, so the team can concentrate on looking after horses and clients.

🐴 This October, we’re putting an extra focus on equine welfare.

We’re kicking things off with a topic that’s particularly relevant to riding school horses: habituation.

Riding school horses are expected to cope with a lot – different riders, busy yards, equipment, noises, vehicles and plenty of unexpected moments.

Over time, many learn that these everyday experiences are nothing to worry about. But when a horse stops reacting, how do we know they genuinely feel safe and comfortable?

Our latest blog looks at habituation, why a quiet horse isn’t necessarily a relaxed horse, and why continuing to notice what our horses are communicating matters for both welfare and safety.

Keep an eye out for more welfare education throughout October. 🐴

You wouldn't hand your horse to an unproven vet, so why hand your payments to an unproven provider?

Between 2018 and 2023, UK payment firms that went bust left customers short by an average of 65% of what they were owed. That's not us being dramatic. That's the FCA's own numbers.

If your riding school software has built on a payment provider you've never heard of, it's worth asking how long they've been operating, and at what scale.

A better rate today isn't worth the compliance, security and support you're gambling with tomorrow. Stick with payment processors that have already earned their reputation.

Someone called us "big corporate" 🙃

There are 14 of us. FOURTEEN. Your local coffee shop probably has more staff on the rota than we have in the whole company.

Faceless we are not. We're a family business with some employee ownership on top, so the people building this actually care. We use tech to help, not to hide behind. About half of us are horse obsessed, the other half aren't, turns out that mix is exactly why we build good software.
