One week in: a calendar view, distances everywhere, and news by email

From William Roush

It's been a week since we launched. Thank you to everyone who signed up, added a listing or sent us a correction.

The directory now reaches about four hours from Chattanooga, up from three: 113 stables, 68 trainers, 79 feed stores, 54 vets and more than 250 upcoming events so far. Here's what else is new.

Events on a calendar

The events page now has a Calendar view next to the list. It shows the whole month, with multi-day shows on every day they run. Tap a day to see its events underneath. Your search and filters carry over when you switch.

You can also filter events by breed now. Disciplines are picked from a dropdown on the events page and across the directory, so there's no guessing how one is spelled.

Nationals and expos

Some events are worth a longer drive. Nationals, finals and expos now carry a National badge, and Nationals and expos on the events page shows just those. Shows in other time zones, from Mountain to Hawaii, list their own local times.

How far is it?

Tap Show distances from me, then use your current location or pick a town. Distances show across the directory, events, search results and each listing and event page. Narrow it to within so many miles, or sort nearest first.

New categories

Hauling a long way? Overnight stays is a new category for horse motels, layover barns, and B&Bs, cabins and campgrounds that take horses.

Community groups lists the local Facebook groups where people trade tack, find hay, plan trail rides and ask for advice, by the area they cover.

News by email, and your digest day

You can now get posts like this one by email. New accounts choose when they sign up, and if you had an account before this week, we've turned them on for you. You can turn them off any time in your account or with the link at the bottom of the email.

Weekly digests used to arrive Thursday mornings. They now come on Monday by default, and you can pick any day in your account. If you already had a weekly digest, it moved to Monday.

Adding a listing

When you add a listing, we'll tell you if it looks like it's already here, so you can claim it instead of making a second one.

Sharing an event

When you add an event, choose I'm sharing it if someone else runs it, or I run this if it's yours. An event someone shared shows Claim this event, so its organizer can take it over, every date of a series at once.

Earning your way to live edits

How editing works now shows where each change goes, and how a new account earns going live on its own. After 3 approved changes, edits to the listings and events you manage go live right away. After 15, so do your new listings and events.

How editing works: four cards showing where a change goes, live right away for your own business, moderated while you're new, decided by a listing's team, and removals approved by a moderator

For listing owners and organizers

If you run a listing or an event, Your listings at the top of the page now shows everything you manage in one place: what's missing, how many people looked, called or clicked through, and how many are going to your events, compared with the weeks before. Open any listing or event for the details, including what people searched for before they found you and a QR code for your flyers. Only the people who manage a listing or event see its numbers. Organizers can also move an event, along with the rest of its series, to another of their organizations.

Keep the suggestions coming. If you know a barn, trainer, shop or show we're missing, add it or send us feedback.
