Read what our customers have to say about us.

Stoke Lane Stables Logo

I just wanted to give EC Pro a massive shout out as l've literally just had my inspection and they couldn't praise the system high enough and were fascinated by what it does and how it makes the administration of a riding school so much.

Riding Center Logo

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you, and everyone who I have been in contact with from EC Pro. The customer support truly has been and is fantastic- I cannot stress this enough.

Widmer Logo

Excellent support and help. It is fabulous to be so organised with the daily calendar and client base. It is so easy to communicate with our clients, staff and instructors and fascinating to see at a glance payments and invoices.

Clyne Farm Center Logo

EC Pro has completely changed the way we manage our riding school. Handing over the control to customers to manage their bookings has been advantageous for both parties. We have found we are busier than ever since implementing the new system.
