MidmarAn equestrian centre management system in Arabic: it makes every private lesson or small group a weekly time slot with its number of places, so parents book a place for their son or daughter and pay for the pack from their phone, and the money goes to your centre's account with no middleman.
Calm horses suited to beginners are few, so the late-afternoon hour only has room for one to three riders. Parents write on WhatsApp: "Is Sunday at four still free?", and the same slot gets promised to two people by word of mouth. Then the lesson pack is paid in cash or by transfer, so it is hard to tell who has paid and whose riding lesson pack has run out.
Midmar manages the riders, their lessons and their payments, not the horses: it is not a stable system, so there are no horse records, feeding or veterinary care. What it offers is what the front desk needs every day:
Group capacity starts at one place. A private lesson is a group with one place at a fixed weekly time, and a small group has two to four places, as your horses and coaches allow. The first to book takes the place and has 48 hours to complete payment, then it shows "Full", so the slot is never booked twice.
Each group has its days and hours, for example Sunday and Tuesday from 16:00 to 17:00, and parents see the times and places left on the centre's page before they book riding lessons. The time is fixed every week for the whole subscription: no calendar by date, and no booking a single lesson on a particular day.
Each programme has its payment cycle: a monthly subscription that suits a private lesson at its weekly time, or termly, or a pack with a number of lessons you announce, such as 8 or 12, valid for 90 days. Anyone who renews before it ends has the new period added to the end of the current one, so no days are lost. The number of lessons describes the pack and is not reduced with each attendance.
You choose each programme's category: children up to 17, adults from 18, or all ages, and its gender: boys, girls or mixed, then the age range you want. Anyone who does not meet the conditions is not accepted by the system at enrolment. An adult woman rider opens her own account and enrols in the women's programme.
The coach sees all the centre's groups on their phone, with today's groups marked, and takes attendance with a tap. Then they rate the rider on skills they name themselves, six at most, such as seat, balance, use of the reins, trot and jumping, from one to five stars with a short note. The equestrian centre management system keeps all of this in one place.
mada, Apple Pay and card, with Tamara instalments enabled automatically, and Tabby if the centre asks for it. The money goes to the centre's own account. If the parent registered their email, they get a message five days before the subscription ends and another on the day it ends, whatever your package.
An example of how to set it up, not a real centre or customer. The prices and numbers are a suggestion you choose yourself.
| Programme | Category | Age | Cycle and price | Groups |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Weekly private lesson for beginners | Children · mixed | 6–12 | Monthly · SAR 1,000 | 4 groups × 1 place |
| Young girl riders | Children · girls | 8–16 | 8-lesson pack · SAR 960 | 2 groups × 3 places |
| Young riders | Children · boys | 8–16 | 8-lesson pack · SAR 960 | 2 groups × 3 places |
| Women | Adults | 18–60 | Monthly · SAR 1,200 | 1 group × 4 places |
Each one-place group is a private slot for one rider a week, so four groups mean four private slots. With a pack, the rider rides in a small group of three, and no programme admits anyone who does not fit it by age and gender.
The Al-Maydan demo academy is a football academy, so you won't see horses in it, but you will see what you'll work with in your centre: the programme card with its times and places, payment through a demo gateway, coach attendance and the owner dashboard. Pick any role and go straight in without an account.
Creating the centre and publishing its programmes costs nothing. When a parent pays for a lesson or pack, SAR 6.90 including VAT is deducted for Midmar, plus the payment gateway's fee for the method they chose, and the rest reaches you.
| Subscription | Paid by | The academy receives |
|---|---|---|
| Weekly private lesson: SAR 1,000 a month | mada | SAR 981.60 |
| Young girl riders: 8-lesson pack for SAR 960 | mada | SAR 942.06 |
Riding fees are large, and the fixed fee doesn't grow with them: a SAR 1,000 subscription carries the same fee as any other payment.
Turn your time slots into groups: create your programmes with their category, gender, age and cycle, and for each time slot a group with its days, hours and places, with one place for a private lesson.
Publish the centre's link: your-centre.midmar.app on the centre's account, or send it to your current customers.
Activate payments: complete opening your account with the payment gateway using your commercial registration or freelance document, and then booking starts.
No. Midmar is not a stable system or a horse booking system. You decide how many riders an hour can take with your horses and coaches, and the system closes the slot when it is full. Assigning horses to riders stays with you.
Yes. Create a group with one place at its weekly time. The first to book takes it, and it becomes available again if the booking is not paid within 48 hours, or when the subscription ends without renewal.
No. The number is written in the pack's description, and it is valid for 90 days from the day of payment. You can see how many lessons they rode from the coach's attendance record.
The system does not schedule make-up lessons. The attendance record remains evidence of the missed lesson, and you agree on another time with the parent.
Yes, with Tamara, which is enabled automatically, and Tabby on request. The centre receives the full amount after the gateway's fee, and the instalment fee is higher than the mada fee.
In the first 50 minutes the whole payment is cancelled. After that they are entitled to a refund within 14 days, unless the centre set a shorter period. Refund Policy
Setting up is free, and there is no fee until the first pack is paid.
