Through our unique equestrian events, we bring together riders, businesses, and supporters to raise vital funds while creating unforgettable experiences. With the generosity of our sponsors and participants, we continue to grow, making a real impact in the lives of the horses that need it most.
A Message From Our Founder
“For those of you that are or have been involved with horses whether it be riding, working with them or just looking after horses and ultimately lucky enough to own your pony or horse, then you will understand the profound effect it has on us and in the most incredible and unimaginable way.
From being incredibly lucky enough to own my own beautiful pony “Zara” and being fortunate to being around horses most days, I have brought together some wonderful friends in the horse world who have and continue to help raise money for various equine charities since 2023. Our charity for 2025 is the World Horse Welfare, they work to improve equine welfare by strengthening the horse/human relationship, and strive to help all horses, including horses in need, horses in sport and leisure, and horses used for work and production.”
