Equine osteopaths: book visits at the yard

Equine work means driving from yard to yard, and the best days are the ones where several horses at the same yard are treated in a row. Booking each horse separately by phone makes that hard to organise. With Book, owners book a visit for their area on your own booking page, you group horses at the same yard, and you book follow-ups from your list.

On Book, each service has a name, a price and an optional description, all shown on your public page. Each slot belongs to one service, sits within one day and has its own capacity.

Durations are examples: set your own according to the rules that apply to you. Say in the description whether travel is included.

Slots repeat weekly on the weekdays you choose until an end date. Open each area on set days and list the villages or yards covered in each description. You create every slot, so travel time between yards stays off your page.

Each online booking takes one place, so each horse is one booking. When owners at the same yard book, place their slots back to back. If a yard manager arranges several horses, create the bookings yourself from your bookings list, one per horse with the owner's name. First and last name are enough; with an email, each owner gets a confirmation with a calendar file.

The booking form takes first name, last name, email and phone, plus an optional note that reaches you in the new booking email. Ask for the yard address, the horse's name, age and discipline, and whether someone will hold the horse.

Riders want sessions timed before or after events. Ask for competition dates in the note and book follow-ups from your list accordingly.

Say in the description whether you need the vet's agreement before a first session, according to the rules that apply to you, and that your work doesn't replace a vet visit.

Owners can't move or cancel online: they contact you, and you move the session from your list. If weather or a lame horse cancels a visit, tell the owner yourself, since Book doesn't email clients about changes.

Book doesn't plan routes, store horse records, take payments or send reminders. One booking page per business, no staff field: with colleagues, create services per practitioner. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.
