Trust & safety

Trust comes from clear records before, during, and after a facility booking.

EquiShare does not certify facilities, insure a booking, or guarantee that riding is risk-free. V1 is built to make the supplier, resource, rules, hazards, cancellation terms, booking conditions, and support path visible before a rider commits.

Supplier and resource clarity

The facility page, checkout, confirmation, receipt, and support record show who supplies the booking and what resource is being booked.

Rules and hazards before checkout

Hosts provide booking rules, hazard notes, arrival instructions, cancellation terms, and resource details before payment can continue.

Records after something changes

Closures, cancellations, refund review, incidents, evidence access, and support cases stay attached to auditable booking records.

How V1 uses the records

What riders should be able to check before they book

The resource: arena, yards, track, club grounds, parking, wash bay, or room, with any host-supplied feature notes.
The supplier: the host or facility name responsible for the listed booking, shown again on the receipt and support record.
The booking conditions: rules, hazards, cancellation terms, H&S waiver, and host hazard acknowledgement before checkout continues.
The state of the booking: request, hold, confirmation, payment, receipt, cancellation, refund review, closure, or incident hold.

What hosts should keep current

Resource availability, pricing, booking mode, and any areas that are not included in the hire.
Rules for helmets, supervision, dogs, manure, float parking, gates, yards, footing, and arrival.
Hazards a rider should know before travel, including traffic, weather, surface conditions, plant, slopes, water, stock, or shared-use areas.
Closure notices when weather, maintenance, incident review, or unsafe footing affects a resource.

Privacy and minor riders

Only collect what the booking needs

Rider emergency contacts, horse profile details, guardian consent, support cases, incident reports, and evidence records can contain personal information. EquiShare keeps those records purpose-led: booking, emergency response, support, refund review, privacy request, or legal hold. Minor-related records are treated as restricted and are not exposed as public listing content.
