**We are excited to share the new online system made specifically for Pony Club**

Entrymaster powers over 300 organisations including equestrian societies and agricultural events across the UK and is especially known for its bespoke software services.

Integration

The system automatically adds your event details to Pelham, checks members eligibility instantly and adds results at the press of a button.

Over the last 12 months we have successfully created and rigorously tried and tested software with pilot branches which will suit all your Pony Clubs needs perfectly. 

Keep in Contact with your Members

It’s not just an online entry system……it’s a database of all your contacts, you can email your members, non-Pony club entrants, committee, or coaches anytime 247, subject to GDPR preferences. All your contacts and entries are in one place; you have the facility to give various committee/secretaries access to the back end of the system, this can be limited depending on the role they have within your branch.

Entrants – Speed, Convenience & One Transaction

The Pony Club entry system boasts an impressive number of features designed to make it easy for entrants to enter via a mobile phone, tablet or computer in a few clicks.  A list or monthly calendar of your branch events enables members to clearly see all the options available.

Information is stored to view future entries made and transactions together with history of attendance and achievements readily at hand. Parents can also enter as many rallies and events as they wish all in one transaction to save time and to save repeating inputting of information.

To complement each branches own entry webpages, all events will also be automatically added the new Entrymaster website www.entrymaster.co.uk which will allow browsing of all Pony Club events by date or discipline branch or Area, available during September 2023.

Entry Forms for Everything

Organisers use event type templates which have prefixed questions which can be copied for ease of setting up similar events in future and can be tailored as required. Being totally flexible, each branch can ask any question on an entry form. Answers can be a free form box, may offer a yes/no option, be numerical or have multiple choice answers making even the most complex team event easy to organise.

We don’t just collect information for rallies, you can create a form with multiple price options, classes/sessions, eligibility and ticket options even collecting dietary requirements.

Once the event is open for entries, you will be able to view all the details in Pelham and, crucially, update any Badge or Test successes automatically.  Membership validation will be in place for PC only events, saving your organisers and secretaries hours of checking memberships before an event. 

We would like to offer you the opportunity to try the system at no cost and with no fixed contract period. The Entrymaster team will set up your own unique Pony Club page within one day, so you can take entries straight away. As we are Pony Club parents, we know you will love our services!

But don’t just take our word for it please see some of our existing Pony Club customers comments below, feel free to speak to them directly for feedback:

The East Cheshire Branch of the Pony Club has enjoyed a long-standing relationship with Alison & the team at Entrymaster and is proud to have been a member of the pilot group working with the new update of Entrymaster and its interface with Pony Club’s PELHAM data management system. Entrymaster, at Branch level, enables our rally/competition organisers to create ‘events’ flexible to their needs and our parents benefit from a simple system that enables rider/pony profiles to be saved, enabling simple, quick, multiple event entries all in one go. Following an ‘event’, the branch organiser submits attendance to PELHAM, thus building a member’s individual Pony Club record in their ‘Achievements/Events’ tab in their PC Membership Portal in PELHAM. Congratulations, Entrymaster, for leading the way with an online interface with PELHAM and enhancing our users’ experiences to be as simple as possible.”

“It has now been a couple of months since we completed testing of the Pony Club system built by Entrymaster. I would like to commend all support staff for the pretty much instant reply to queries during that time and since too. Development staff were truly exceptional in the timelessness of the responses and actions to add facilities and functions but also resolve bug issues as they appeared. The ability to modify entries, create start sheets, financial reports and more and the simplicity of Entrymaster coupled with the flexibility and myriad of functions make Entrymaster for Pony Club a class beating application.
Again, many congratulations to all the team.” Fred Dreiling, Flint & Denbigh PC

Entrymaster have been a delight to work with and nothing is too much trouble to ensure that we get the maximum use out of the system.  It has built a bespoke Pony Club entry system and any enhancements suggested have been built in.  We have had good feedback from parents as being user friendly through all devices and our secretaries have found it intuitive to use. We very much look forward to hearing from you soon!” North Warwickshire Branch PC

“The Entrymaster system has been great to use as we are on the full system which links into pony club membership. This makes entering very easy for clubs. Jo has been on hand for any problems, and we look forward to using it again.” Banwell PC DC 

“On behalf of the Royal Artillery Hunt Branch of the Pony Club, I would like to thank the Team at Entrymaster, particularly Jo, for the time spent on reconfiguring the system to make our entries for the Area 14 Eventing work so effortlessly. The users found entering multi riders so straightforward & easy to use. I personally love the system; it was so easy to set up our event once your developers knew what we needed. We had 194 entries & not one issue or complaint. It was so very easy to amend entries where needed. I am very much looking forward to using the new system.”

We look forward to working with you!

Alison, Jo and the Entrymaster Team
