Protect the places you love to ride
How Rideathon works
- Sign up
Register and we’ll send you everything you need to get started, including help setting up your JustGiving page. - Set your distance
Choose 25km, 50km, 100km or more to complete during July. Ride, walk in-hand, carriage drive, or cycle. Whatever works for you. - Ride your way
Go solo or ride with friends or your yard. Little and often, or one big adventure. You set the pace. - Raise funds and share
Ask friends and family to sponsor you and share your progress as you go (use #rideathon and tag British Horse Society on social media). We suggest aiming for £100, but every pound makes a difference.
Every kilometre helps keep the riding network open and usable for everyone.
What you’ll receive
Everyone who takes part will receive:
- An exclusive special edition Rideathon rosette
- A certificate to mark your achievement
- A chance to win prizes if you’re a top fundraiser
Sign up and start planning your Rideathon.
How the distance you cover helps
However you take part
In the saddle, on foot or by carriage
Walk, trot, canter… and stop for snacks
Whatever the route brings, it matters
What your support protects
Off-road riding routes are quietly disappearing. Bridleways become overgrown, gates break or seize up, surfaces wear away, and access points are blocked or left unsafe.
When routes aren’t maintained, riders and carriage drivers are pushed onto busy roads. Horses lose safe places to relax and build confidence. And once a route falls out of use, it becomes much harder to protect.
Rideathon helps fund the practical work needed to maintain, restore and protect the riding network, so horses and people can continue to enjoy the countryside.
