​
4. MONTA (Free Riding)

  • Student Required: No - automatically uses placeholder student
  • Auto-Assignment: System assigns special student ID (1)
  • Common Duration: 30 or 60 minutes

​
Special Behavior

MONTA classes have unique system behavior:
ClaseForm.tsx
const alumnosValidos = alumnos.filter((a: Alumno) => {
  // Si es MONTA, no mostrar alumnos (retorna array vacío)
  if (especialidad === "MONTA") return false;
  // Para otras especialidades, mostrar todos
  return true;
});
See: ~/workspace/source/src/components/forms/ClaseForm.tsx:98-103

​
Auto-Assignment Logic

ClaseForm.tsx
if (especialidad === "MONTA") {
  alumnoIdFinal = null; // Clase de MONTA no tiene alumno
}
See: ~/workspace/source/src/components/forms/ClaseForm.tsx:166-168
When creating a MONTA class, the student selection field is hidden and automatically handled by the system.
From the README:
Especialidad: Seleccionar entre:
  • Equitación
  • Adiestramiento
  • Equinoterapia
  • Monta (automáticamente asigna alumno comodín)
See: ~/workspace/source/README.md:132-136

​
Specialty Selection in Form

The form dynamically adjusts based on specialty selection:
ClaseForm.tsx
{especialidad !== "MONTA" ? (
  <div className="space-y-2">
    <Label htmlFor="alumno">Alumno</Label>
    <Select
      value={alumnoId}
      onValueChange={setAlumnoId}
      disabled={isReadonly}
    >
      <SelectTrigger>
        <SelectValue placeholder="Seleccionar alumno" />
      </SelectTrigger>
      <SelectContent>
        {alumnos.map((a: Alumno) => (
          <SelectItem key={a.id} value={String(a.id)}>
            {a.nombre} {a.apellido}
          </SelectItem>
        ))}
      </SelectContent>
    </Select>
  </div>
) : (
  <p className="text-xs text-muted-foreground">
    Las clases de MONTA son exclusivamente para instructores
  </p>
)}
See: ~/workspace/source/src/components/forms/ClaseForm.tsx:288-312

​
Changing Specialty

When the specialty is changed, the system handles student selection:
ClaseForm.tsx
const handleEspecialidadChange = (value: string) => {
  handleEspecialidadChangeEffect(value, setEspecialidad, setAlumnoId);
};
See: ~/workspace/source/src/components/forms/ClaseForm.tsx:155-157

Trial Classes by Specialty

Trial classes (clases de prueba) can be offered for all specialties except MONTA:
Most common trial class type. Allows prospective students to experience a regular riding lesson before enrolling.
Less common. May be offered to experienced riders considering advanced training programs.
Important for therapy clients to experience equine-assisted therapy before committing to a program.
Not applicable - MONTA classes are for instructors only and don’t involve student instruction.
See the Trial Classes guide for more information.
