At Bridles and Bows Horse Riding Channel, “We are feminine and strong, fearless and fabulous.”

The HorseRidingChannel.com is dedicated to serving the interests of mothers, daughters, and women of all ages who love horses and horseback riding.

We call it “Bridles and Bows” to show that it is directed by women, about women, for women.  Our core purpose is “sharing the love of horses”

Whether you own a horse, ride a horse, or dream about horses, this is a place created for you.

HorseRidingChannel.com reports and distributes high-quality news, information, and entertainment about women in the equine industry.  An award winning team of journalists  produce editorial content of the highest quality and integrity.

The website features how-to-videos, inspirational video features, and videos of horseback riding events. We cover all horse riding disciplines in which women participate.

You will also find a section called “You and Your Horse” where women can come together to celebrate and share the joy of horseback riding.  We encourage you to post photographs, videos, and even hand drawn pictures with your written comments about horses or horse related events.

If you capture video of your horse just kicking up its heels in the pasture or snap a picture of your ribbon from a show, please feel free to share.  We moderate all posts to ensure that “You and Your Horse” is age appropriate for all visitors.

Please feel free to tell us what you would like to see on the Bridles and Bows Horse Riding Channel and let us know about women related horse events or women horse riders that we should cover.

We believe that “sharing the love of horses” builds strength, self-confidence, independence, and determination among women of all ages. Whether you have access to a horse or not, at Bridles and Bows you can experience the fun of the barn and the camaraderie of horse riders.
