The way you tell your story can change your life

  • Our Mission

    Being a rider with commercial ambitions has changed immensley over the last ten years. With the continual rise of social media and need to create and manage your brand being more important than ever, our primary mission and purpose with this event is to make education and insight in this field available for every rider, whether amateurs or professionals and wherever you are in the world.

    As the topics discussed at this event are ever evolving, the content will be periodically updated ahead of the weekend, so that those who attend the two day educational weekend have the latest in insight and learnings.

  • The Event

    The inaugural event of The Business of Being a Rider will be held on the 9th and 10th November 2024 at Wellington Riding in the United Kingdom.
