What are the benefits of using Strides?

There are many benefits of using Strides including:

1. Course designing is so much easier if you have a pre-designed plan.
   
   
2. Strides saves you the messy handling of drawing on paper when continually making changes.
   
   
3. You can record your courses into a database for future reference. With the exception of high stakes classes, there is nothing wrong with using the same course on different occasions.
   
   
4. You can use a previously designed course and edit it for another show.
   
   
5. As a jumping trainer/coach you can design your exercises for planned clinics and email to the organisers so that these exercises can be set up before you arrive. These exercises can also be saved for future reference.
   
   
6. While it is never ideal to have course designer absent, the course designer can design a course remotely and then email it to the organisers. This is especially beneficial for local pony clubs or riding clubs who wish to have quality courses.
   
   
7. A rider can record the exercises including jump types and distances that were done during a jumping clinic.
   
   
8. As well as recording exercises a rider can also add comments or even write a full report about the lesson. A rider will get much more out of each lesson.
   
   
9. Many exercises have an ideal time and place, but are easily forgotten. Strides can record all the details so you can recall the exercise when it is needed.
