Where it started
MyHorseShowBuddy began with a simple request from a show manager: put the draws on a television instead of taping paper to the wall. Once the draw was on a screen, the rest followed. Scores could go up as they were marked, riders could follow from their phones, and the results no longer had to be typed a second time.
It has been built and tested at live shows through the 2026 season, working next to show secretaries and adjusting to how their day really goes.
"As a rider and a technology professional, I saw a need to make showing easier for riders. MyHorseShowBuddy gives them real-time information that makes a show day simpler and more fun."

What we hold to
The show office stays in charge
The office's records are the official ones. We display them and carry them forward; we do not replace them.
Live scores, then official ones
Every run is scored in real time, and those scores are marked unofficial. Once the show certifies its results, we publish the official scores.
A light touch for a busy office
Running MyHorseShowBuddy adds a few steps to show day. Our goal is to keep them as few and as seamless as we can for busy show secretaries.
