Why Equestrian Hubs is free
Community-specific, not nationwide
The paid apps charge because they cover every county in the country. We only cover the areas our community uses, and staying narrow is what keeps it free.
Free public data
We source maps and boundaries from free public GIS portals instead of licensing an expensive nationwide dataset, so there is no per-user data bill to pass on.
No account, no paywall
Every core tool works in a browser and in the app with no signup. A free account only adds syncing so your spots and plans follow you between devices.
FAQ
Common questions
Yes. Ride tracking, trails, and a directory of local barns, trainers, and clubs are free here, with no subscription. A free account only syncs your rides.
No. The core ride tools and trail info are free and need no paid plan.
We stay area-specific and community-sourced rather than running a global app, so the riding tools stay free.
