Looking for some inspiration and motivation for your training? We have the perfect thing for you. Join a Horse & Hound challenge by pledging to complete four, eight, 12 or 20 rides within a set time period to earn yourself a challenge badge and the chance to win a prize.

Horse & Hound has partnered with mobile app Equilab to bring you this challenge. You’ll be able to track your ride and discover stats such as gait beat, stride, distance and much more during your training and fitness sessions with your horse.

You can also use the app to communicate with your team as well as follow the progress of your friends. All this is free – and you also have the option to purchase a premium subscription that includes additional features like live safety tracking and a calendar customised for equestrians.
