Our poor baby girl, osteoarthritis at the age of 4 years old, so that’s Honey & Ava’s dreams staying as just that. Sarah at North West Equine Vets is just amazing 🤩, best Equine Vet I’ve met! She’s had her Arthramid injections today so will see how she responds to those. Fingers crossed 🤞

We have some incredible news to share…

We are thrilled to announce that Ribble Valley Horse Rugs has been nominated for the Retailer of the Year – Online/Mail Order award at the 2026 BETA Awards! 🏆

To be recognised alongside some of the best names in the equestrian industry is something we're incredibly proud of. From launching our brand with a vision to create high-quality, closed-fronted cut-back rugs this nomination means the world to us.
None of this would have been possible without the amazing support from our customers, followers, sponsored riders and everyone who has chosen to support our small business. Every order, recommendation, review and share has helped us reach this milestone, and we are so grateful.
Whether you've been with us from the very beginning or have only recently discovered Ribble Valley Horse Rugs, thank you for being part of our journey. ❤️
Here's to celebrating how far we've come—and to everything that's still to come!

Had an amazing weekend away learning and expanding our knowledge on equine behaviour, wouldn’t be possible without the support of an amazing person 🤩 looking after our tribe at home (you know who you are 😉)
I highly recommend this course Understand Horses absolutely fabulous, so much knowledge under one roof, feel privileged to have been there to see, listen, absorb & engage. We constantly strive to do better by all our animals, our family as we refer to them & this course really inspired further training, teaching & understanding to provide the best care we can. 👌
