Challenge Yourself to 200 Rides in 2025

Are you ready to set the tone for your equestrian journey in 2025? Whether you’re a seasoned rider or just starting, this year’s 100/200 Rides Challenge in the Ridely app is your perfect opportunity to turn riding into a rewarding habit and achieve your personal best.

Why Every Ride Matters

Unlike last year, where we tracked riding days, this year we’re shifting the focus to count every single ride. Why the change? Because every moment you spend in the saddle deserves to be celebrated! Whether it’s a quick training session, a leisurely trail ride, or even hopping on multiple horses in one day, every ride contributes to your progress as a rider.

This challenge isn’t just about reaching a number; it’s about building consistency, developing habits, and celebrating your journey. By logging each ride, you create a tangible record of your dedication and progress – something you can look back on with pride.

Set Your Goal: 100 or 200 Rides

Goals give us purpose and a clear sense of direction. The 100/200 Rides Challenge allows you to set a target that fits your lifestyle and aspirations. Whether you’re aiming for 100 rides or the full 200, you’re in control of your journey. Not sure where to start? Here are a few tips:

• Choose an achievable goal: Reflect on your riding schedule and set a target that stretches you without overwhelming you.
• Track your progress: Seeing how far you’ve come is one of the best motivators. Each ride you log will bring you closer to your goal.
• Start anytime: You don’t have to begin on January 1st. Jump in whenever you’re ready and let your dedication lead the way.

The Power of Habit Building

Participating in this challenge is more than just a numbers game; it’s a way to establish a riding routine that benefits both you and your horse. Research shows that habits are built through consistency and positive reinforcement. By committing to this challenge, you’re training yourself to make riding an integral part of your routine.

Logging each ride also helps you stay mindful of your training and progress. It’s a great way to set mini-goals, track improvements, and stay accountable to yourself and your riding community.
