​
Horse Types

The system supports two types of horses, each with different ownership and usage rules: 
export type TipoCaballo = "ESCUELA" | "PRIVADO";
See: ~/workspace/source/src/types/enums.ts:15

​
School Horses (ESCUELA)

School Horses

Horses owned by the equestrian school, available for all students

​
Characteristics

  • Ownership: Owned by the school
  • Availability: Available for any student
  • Reservation: Students can reserve specific school horses
  • Assignment: Can be assigned to any class

​
Use Cases

Students without their own horses use school horses for their classes. The system assigns an available school horse for each class.
A student can reserve a specific school horse and configure a pension quota (Entera, Media, or Tercio). The horse remains school property but is prioritized for that student.
School horses are typically used for trial classes (clases de prueba) for new students trying out the school.

​
Display in System

School horses are displayed with a blue badge:
Caballos.tsx
<StatusBadge status={row.tipo === "ESCUELA" ? "info" : "warning"}>
  {row.tipo === "ESCUELA" ? "Escuela" : "Privado"}
</StatusBadge>
See: ~/workspace/source/src/pages/Caballos.tsx:238-241

​
Private Horses (PRIVADO)

Private Horses

Horses owned by individual students, restricted to owner use only

​
Characteristics

  • Ownership: Owned by a specific student
  • Availability: Only available for the owner
  • Restriction: Cannot be used by other students
  • Pension: Requires pension quota configuration

​
Use Cases

When a student brings their own horse to the school, it’s registered as PRIVADO and linked to that student as the owner.
Students with private horses take lessons on their own horses, often for specialized training or competition preparation.

​
Validation Rules

Important: Private horses can only be used by their owners. The system enforces this restriction when creating classes.
From the README:
Los caballos privados solo pueden ser usados por sus propietarios
See: ~/workspace/source/README.md:129

​
Pension Configuration

Both reserved school horses and private horses require pension quota configuration: 
export type TipoPension = "SIN_CABALLO" | "RESERVA_ESCUELA" | "CABALLO_PROPIO";
export type CuotaPension = "ENTERA" | "MEDIA" | "TERCIO";
See: ~/workspace/source/src/types/enums.ts:1-2
