An extra 500 miles award for our 40th anniversary

To mark WES's 40th anniversary, we are offering ten members a one-off 500 miles scheme.

  • It is open to any WES member, whether or not you have completed, or are working towards, any of the other Trail Award schemes.
  • There is a one-off sign-up fee of £40. Half of it goes to World Horse Welfare, our nominated charity for 2025.
  • You record your miles each year, and stay a member of WES for the length of the challenge.
  • When you reach 500 miles, you are awarded an inscribed silver belt buckle supplied by Montana Silversmiths.
  • The scheme is open to the first ten members to sign up.
