Horse show pattern book generator

Publish a complete horse show pattern book.

Turn every pattern selected for a show into one polished Show Pattern Book. Generate the cover and table of contents, share one online link with exhibitors, or download the complete book as a PDF.

One link for the show

Exhibitors can open a mobile-friendly cover and contents list, move through the patterns, and download the full PDF.

Automatic book structure

Create a cover, organize disciplines into sections, and let ShowPatterns calculate the table of contents and page numbers.

Frozen published versions

Every publication preserves the exact cover, order, headers, and patterns from that moment. Corrections become a new version.

Replace the manual assembly

Stop rebuilding one large document from separate files.

Traditional pattern book assembly often means exporting each pattern, combining individual PDFs, typing a table of contents, correcting page numbers, and posting another file whenever something changes.

A Show Book keeps the working class list together. When it is ready, ShowPatterns creates a complete read-only version with the cover, contents pages, pattern pages, and page numbering already aligned.

  • Set the Show Name and Show Date once for the book.
  • Choose whether contents pages list sections or every pattern.
  • Organize disciplines such as Horsemanship, Ranch Riding, and Showmanship into movable sections.
  • Publish up to 100 patterns in one Show Pattern Book.

What exhibitors receive

A readable online book and one print-ready PDF.

The online viewer gives the show a single share code and link. Its contents panel can list discipline sections or every pattern, and the same frozen version can be downloaded as a complete PDF.

Published links are unlisted: anyone with an enabled link can open it, but ShowPatterns does not place these books in a public search gallery. The owner can turn each version's link off.

  • Responsive online cover and contents navigation.
  • Individual frozen pattern pages in the browser.
  • Letter or A4 full-book PDF output.
  • A permanent code for each published version while its link remains enabled.

Corrections and history

Publish a correction without rewriting history.

A published version never changes behind the exhibitor's back. Continue editing the working Show Book, then publish another numbered version when the correction is ready.

Each version has its own link and sharing switch. This makes the exact handout used at a past show recoverable while allowing a current book to improve.

Frequently asked questions

Plain answers about this workflow.

What is included in a published Show Pattern Book?

A published version can include a cover, table of contents, page numbers, discipline sections, the frozen pattern pages, one online link, and one complete PDF.

Does the published link update when I edit the draft?

No. A published version is intentionally frozen. Publish a new numbered version when corrections are ready; the older version remains unchanged.

Can I turn off a published link?

Yes. The owner can turn sharing off or back on for each published version.

How many Show Books can a free account publish?

A free account can currently publish one Show Book and as many corrected versions of that same book as needed. Pro publishing for additional Show Books is coming soon.
