Introducing The Equilab & Hy Equestrian Hacking Challenge
Calling all young riders! The Pony Club is thrilled to announce an exciting new partnership with Equilab and Hy Equestrian to bring you the Equilab & Hy Equestrian Hacking Challenge!
As you level up in the challenge, you’ll have the chance to win fantastic prizes that rotate through each stage! From high-visibility gear by Hy Equestrian that ensures you stay safe and stylish on the roads, to exclusive membership options through Equilab that let you track your progress like a pro – there’s something for everyone.
How to Join the Fun?
It’s easy! Follow the steps below to enter the challenge, and get ready to hack your way to amazing rewards. This is your chance to be part of something big – don’t miss out!
Step 1: Sign Up!
It only costs £5 to enter and entry lasts for 12 months from the second you sign-up. Entry is per rider, so you can take part on multiple ponies under one entry.
Step 2: Track
Every time you ride outside of the arena (on a hack, at the gallops or even on the beach), track how far you ride and record it. Each time you track your ride using Equilab (other apps that measure distance also permitted), and record it on The Hacking Tracker.

Step 3: Submit your miles
When you reach a Milestone (25, 50, 100, 250, 500 or 100 miles), send in your Hacking Tracker as evidence via the form. You will then receive your certificate via email, and your Equilab or Hy Equestrian prize!
Note: The milestones carry on from each other, so when you complete 25 miles, you are then on your way to 50 miles – you don’t have to start again!
Please see the Hacking Challenge webpage for all Rules and FAQs
