Accepting an invitation

You were invited to a stable — how to accept in one click, and what to ask for if you weren't.

An invitation is the usual way to join a stable — whether you're an instructor, a helper, or a rider. The stable sends you an email, and one click gets you in. There's no password and no sign-up form to fill in.

Accepting the invitation

  1. Open the email from the stable and select the invitation link. (Some stables send the link another way — by message or chat — which works exactly the same.)
  2. You land on an Accept invitation page showing the stable and the role you're being given.
  3. Press Accept invitation. That's it — your account and your place in the stable are set up automatically, and you're taken straight in.

You don't create a password or fill in a sign-up form; accepting the link both signs you in and adds you to the stable.

What happens next

  • Your account is created (or reused). If you already had a Nose account under that email, the stable is simply added to it — you keep the same profile and history everywhere.
  • Your role is set for you. Whoever invited you chose your role — instructor, helper, rider, and so on — so you land with the right access from the first moment.
  • Signing in later needs no invitation. From then on you sign in normally with your email — a link or a one-time code. See Signing in & joining a stable.

For instructors, helpers, and admins

Staff join only by invitation — there is no self sign-up for people who help run a stable. So if you're coming on board to teach or help:

  • Ask the stable's admin to invite you, and tell them the exact email you want to use: "Please invite me as an instructor at name@example.com."
  • Only an admin can add instructors, helpers, or other admins. An instructor can invite riders (customers) and horse owners, but not other staff — so for a staff role, the request has to reach an admin.
  • You can hold more than one role. If you already ride at the stable and are now joining as an instructor too, accepting the new invitation simply adds the instructor role alongside your existing one.

Didn't get an invitation?

  • Ask the stable to (re)send it, and double-check they used the right email address — a typo sends it somewhere you'll never see.
  • Check your spam or junk folder.
  • Invitation links expire and are single-use. If yours has expired or was already used, it won't work again — just ask for a fresh one.
  • Signed in as someone else? If you're already signed in under a different email, sign out first, then open the invitation link again.

Good to know

  • An invitation is like a key to the door — anyone who opens the emailed link can accept as you, so treat it like a private link and don't forward it.
  • Being invited is separate from a rider's self sign-up or "ask to join a ride" — those are covered in Signing in & joining a stable.
