Riding horses on the roads, or hacking as its referred to by equestrians, is an essential part of many horses exercise regime. Not only can it help build their physical strength but can also be a great asset to their mental wellbeing by getting them out of the arena and often tiny paddocks and allows them to take in new scenery.

In this modern age of technology, it was always going to be inevitable that competitive equestrians would eventually find a way to use the internet to their advantage. It began with photo competitions where passionate horse owners could enter a picture of their beloved equine into an appropriate class (mountain and moorland for example) to be judged against other horses in the hope for a placing or even better a WIN! From there the photos have evolved into video competitions and there are now thousands of people around the world competing in different equestrian disciplines such as Showing, Horse Agility and my personal favourite Dressage.
