What Riders Are Saying
Hear from participants who've completed our challenges
"The 9-week timeframe was perfect for working around the weather and my lesson schedule. The rosette looks brilliant next to my other equestrian awards!"
- Sarah M., Gloucestershire"I started with just one stirrup at a time and by week three, I could comfortably trot without either. My instructor noticed a huge difference in my seat."
- Emma R., Yorkshire"As a lesson rider, I loved that I could count my weekly lessons towards the challenge. It gave me something extra to work towards each week."
