Sign up from 1 April 2026 and turn every hack into part of an unforgettable journey. With the thrill of chasing 1,000 miles, the motivation of a shared challenge, and a host of fantastic prizes up for grabs along the way, there’s never been a better time to get out, explore, and make every mile count
Turn everyday riding into a shared, meaningful challenge with #Hack1000Miles — one that benefits both horse and rider far beyond the saddle.
It encourages you to simply get out, ride regularly, and enjoy the journey. Every mile quietly builds a fitter, stronger, more resilient horse, while also improving your own balance, feel, and confidence.
It’s also one of the best ways to strengthen your partnership and expose horses to real-world situations. There’s a real sense of purpose and motivation, too.
Having a clear goal — 1,000 miles or set your own personal target — gives every ride meaning, whether it’s a quick loop after work or a long weekend adventure. It keeps you accountable, helps you track progress, and turns even small efforts into a big achievement.
Plus, there’s a real community feel behind it. Riders support each other, share milestones, and celebrate progress together — making it as social as it is personal.
Win a saddle! A reward worth riding for
To one of the elite band who passes the impressive 1,000-mile mark, longstanding #Hack sponsor Wintec is offering one of their brilliant saddles as a prize — and the lucky winner will be spoilt for choice.
With a wide range of designs available, from general purpose and endurance to dressage and jumping, they’ll be able to select the perfect saddle to suit their needs.

The monthly prizes…
A tale well told…
Any challengers sharing their rides in the official Hack 1000 Miles Facebook group will be in the running to win a prize from Wintec. Choose between a Wintec girth or a pair of stirrup straps. There is one prize up for grabs every month from April until October 2026.
A great shot…
Fellow #Hack1000Miles sponsor Equisafety is offering a pair of multi-coloured leg boots worth £18.99 from its high vis range for the best hacking photo shared in the same Facebook group.
It could be a spectacular between the ears shot, a brilliant selfie or something quirky. The leg boots are available in size horse or pony and colours yellow/orange, pink/orange and pink/yellow — each winner can choose which they’d prefer to receive.
How to sign up
#Hack1000Miles is for everyone — whether you’re an avid hacker keen to challenge yourself to the full one thousand or those with time constraints aiming to set a smaller goal of their choice. The only rule is that only hacking counts — so whether you’re riding, driving, or leading in-hand, it must involve a horse and you must be exploring the great outdoors!
Sign up at yourhorse.co.uk/hacking, where your miles can also be logged and progress charted on the all-new digital leaderboard. Challengers who do so can opt in to receive inspiration from our editor direct to their inbox along the way.
#Hack1000Miles is proudly supported by Wintec and Equisafety
