Events get a month calendar and a Nationals and expos filter, distances show across the site, overnight stays and community groups are new, owners get a page for their stats, and news comes by email.","It's been a week since we launched. Thank you to everyone who signed up, added a listing or sent us a correction.\n\nThe 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.\n\n## Events on a calendar\n\nThe [events page](\u002Fevents) 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.\n\n![The events calendar view for October 2026, with the List and Calendar switch highlighted](\u002Fapi\u002Fv0\u002Fnews-images\u002F01a16f3a-428f-7bc7-9d03-fc9ccc62c9dd) ![The events calendar on a phone, with dots on each day and that day's events below](\u002Fapi\u002Fv0\u002Fnews-images\u002F01a16f3a-445c-7443-90a8-eb580d6ac582)\n\nYou 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.\n\n## Nationals and expos\n\nSome 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.\n\n![The events page filtered to nationals and expos, with the filter and National badges highlighted](\u002Fapi\u002Fv0\u002Fnews-images\u002F01a16f3a-46b5-73e0-890f-77a08ac6ed01 \"Nationals and expos shows just the big ones.\")\n\n## How far is it?\n\nTap **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.\n\n![Stables sorted nearest first from Chattanooga within 25 miles, with the distance controls highlighted](\u002Fapi\u002Fv0\u002Fnews-images\u002F01a16f3a-4907-7477-b5b9-daf591c31eac \"Pick a town and every listing shows how far it is.\")\n\n## New categories\n\nHauling a long way? [Overnight stays](\u002Fovernight-stays) is a new category for horse motels, layover barns, and B&Bs, cabins and campgrounds that take horses.\n\n![The overnight stays directory sorted nearest first from Chattanooga](\u002Fapi\u002Fv0\u002Fnews-images\u002F01a16f29-51a3-79d7-8e38-0afe3078c701 \"Horse motels, layover barns and B&Bs that take horses.\")\n\n[Community groups](\u002Fcommunity-groups) lists the local Facebook groups where people trade tack, find hay, plan trail rides and ask for advice, by the area they cover.\n\n![The community groups directory near Chattanooga, with topic filters like buying and selling, trail rides and meetups, and lost and found, and the first groups listed](\u002Fapi\u002Fv0\u002Fnews-images\u002F01a178e3-13cb-7fe3-843d-99722c5f7e72 \"Local horse groups, from trading posts to trail ride meetups.\")\n\n## News by email, and your digest day\n\nYou 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](\u002Faccount) or with the link at the bottom of the email.\n\nWeekly 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.\n\n## Adding a listing\n\nWhen 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.\n\n## Sharing an event\n\nWhen you [add an event](\u002Fsubmit\u002Fevent), 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.\n\n![The Add an event form with I'm sharing it selected](\u002Fapi\u002Fv0\u002Fnews-images\u002F01a17060-0486-7653-8319-957e92a2a3a6)\n\n![The Crossed M Youth Horse Camp event page with the Claim this event button highlighted](\u002Fapi\u002Fv0\u002Fnews-images\u002F01a17060-18ab-7287-8dc4-b28b3c4e92c0)\n\n## Earning your way to live edits\n\n[How editing works](\u002Fhow-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.\n\n![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](\u002Fapi\u002Fv0\u002Fnews-images\u002F01a178e3-1604-713f-99bd-7ff18f6c5a85)\n\n## For listing owners and organizers\n\nIf 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.\n\n![The Your listings and events page for an example account, with the Your listings button at the top highlighted: a needs attention list, views, people, contact clicks and going counts compared with the 30 days before, and tables of listings and events](\u002Fapi\u002Fv0\u002Fnews-images\u002F01a17080-eba8-7660-970d-ee80bba7c688 \"Shown with an example listing and event.\")\n\nKeep the suggestions coming. If you know a barn, trainer, shop or show we're missing, [add it](\u002Fsubmit\u002Flisting) or [send us feedback](\u002Ffeedback).\n\nSamantha and William","2026-10-26T16:11:14.778756Z","2026-10-26T16:30:12.865152Z",{"name":11,"avatarId":12,"jobTitle":13,"bio":14,"listing":15},"William Roush","01a12750-5bf1-7f20-8ce2-5e7ca940bfba","Co-founder","William lives in Soddy Daisy and has been building software since 2003.
