Creating a training program
Go to Care → Training Programs and select New program. Start from a saved template, from blank, or have Stables AI draft it from your goal - all three create a draft you review first.
Go to Care → Training Programs and select New program. (Trainers and riding instructors use the Training Programs section in their sidebar; horse owners use the Training tab of their care dashboard.)
The form offers three ways in - Template, Blank and AI. On every tab, pick the Horse and a Start date. Every one of them creates a draft, and nothing reaches the care queue until you start it.
Template
Pick a saved template and the whole plan lands on real dates from your start date. Optionally rename it; otherwise it takes the template’s name. This is the fastest path once you have built a plan you like.
Blank
Give it a name (“Spring legging up”), an optional goal (“Back to full work after winter”), and a length in weeks between 1 and 52. You get an empty calendar to fill in day by day - see Building a training session.
AI
Describe the goal in the What’s the goal? box in plain words - “Bring Bella back to full work after 8 weeks off, 5 days a week, jumping focus” - and optionally set the length in weeks and the days per week. Stables AI drafts every session for your review. Drafting can take up to 30 seconds.
An AI draft is a proposal, not a plan
The program carries a banner until you start it: review every session first. Your veterinarian’s guidance overrides the plan, always.
Defaults you can set up front
These two fields are only in the New program form. They are copied onto every session in the draft; after that, you change them session by session.
- Price per session - leave it blank if training is not billed per session.
- Assign to - a staff member, or leave it on “Anyone on the team”. Facilities only; a provider’s program is already their own work.
Horse owners planning their own horse see neither field - there is nobody to bill and nobody to assign.
Saving and starting
There is no separate save step: selecting Create draft (or Generate draft on the AI tab) saves the draft. Review and edit it, then select Start whenever you are ready. Each training session then lands on the care queue on its own date - see Starting and tracking a program.
