About
Post Entry is a professional-grade horse show management platform developed specifically for the equestrian industry. The system is a 32-bit, fully networkable software package that runs on any Windows computer, making it accessible for both part-time show secretaries and seasoned professionals managing large-scale events. Originally created as the most comprehensive Hunter/Jumper show management solution available, Post Entry has since expanded to support a broad range of disciplines and associations, including US Equestrian, AQHA, NRHA, NSBA, and PCHA. The platform continuously incorporates new association rules, reporting formats, and results requirements. Key capabilities include a robust accounting module that handles prize money check printing and trainer financial statements, instant HTML results generation for easy web publishing, and full network compatibility for multi-station show offices. The system also supports online show entries, streamlining the pre-show intake process for organizers and exhibitors alike. Post Entry is purpose-built for horse show professionals who need a reliable, fast, and flexible tool to manage every aspect of a show's back-office operations — from check-in and class scheduling to financial reconciliation and official results reporting. It is an ideal solution for show management companies, equestrian associations, and independent show secretaries looking to modernize and professionalize their operations.
