Your horse.
Your journey.
Your challenge.
Structured, at-home challenges designed to deepen your bond with your horse, build new skills, and celebrate your equestrian journey - whether you ride, drive, or prefer just ground work!
Current Challenge
Once you register, we'll email you a list of 55 challenge prompts to find and photograph or video with your horse whether you're riding, driving, or handling your horse on the ground. Your mission is to find and capture any 25 of the 55 challenge prompts on camera or video. Not to worry - you'll be able to find everything in your yard or out on a hack.
Your photos are yours to keep - private memories you don't have to share with us. We run entirely on the honour system, so once you've found an item, simply check it off your list. You're of course very welcome to share your favourites with us or on our Facebook page, but there's absolutely no pressure to do so.

Carriage Drivers
Driving counts just as much as riding. All turnouts and harness work welcome.
Groundwork & In-Hand
Time on the ground with your horse is just as valuable as time in the saddle.
What Past Challenge Participants Are Saying
I would like to share that I have enjoyed this very much and it has definitely helped me start the season off. It has also been beneficial to my mental health as someone that struggled with depression - it has helped me build a consistent approach and has given me inspiration to do things I wouldn't normally do.
My horse, Nellie and I, have loved doing the Winter to Spring 25 Challenge. It was highly motivational during the wet winter months and such an opportunity to think about the variety of activities I do with my beloved home-bred, home-produced mare.
I have really enjoyed the challenge as it really pushed me out of my comfort zone and I did things I wouldn't ordinarily do. Thank you so much for the inspiration and I look forward to future challenges with you.
Past challenges
A look back at the challenges we've run for UK equestrians. Each one distinct, each one celebrating a different aspect of horse life.
Winter to Spring 25 Challenge
Complete 25 equestrian activities from winter into spring. Build consistent habits and emerge into the riding season ready to thrive.
Autumn Challenge
25 equestrian activities throughout the autumn months. Participants maintained consistency as the days grew shorter and the mud deepened.
No Stirrup November
10 rides without stirrups to develop an independent seat and core strength. A favourite for those who like a physical challenge alongside their riding.
