🚨 STARTING NOW! 🚨

We are kicking off our Born to Run September Virtual Challenge, and we’d LOVE to see as many little horses, ponies and donkeys joining us as possible!
Run, walk, hop, skip or whatever else you like beside your pony and record the distance for the month of September.

Born to Run Adventure Racing isn’t just about seeing what these incredible little equines can do. We’re a charitable organisation with a mission to help rescue small horses in need, promote good equine welfare and encourage people to get active with their animals.

And that’s exactly what this challenge is about.

You don’t have to be competitive. You don’t have to be an athlete. And your little horse certainly doesn’t need to be a racehorse!

Walk together. Lead your donkey down the road. Take your pony exploring. Clock up some kilometres and enjoy spending time together.

You’re getting fitter.
They’re getting fitter.
You’re supporting better equine welfare.
AND you’re helping us rescue horses that need a second chance.

It all starts NOW! - September 1st! 🐴❤️

Got a small horse? A pony? A donkey?

Then we’ve got a September Virtual challenge for YOU!

Anybody anywhere in the world .

You don’t need fancy gear.

You don’t need to be super fit.

You definitely don’t need to be fast.

You just need a small equine, a pair of shoes and a willingness to get outside and have some fun.

The Born to Run Virtual Challenge is all about encouraging people to get ACTIVE with their small horses and donkeys.

Clock up your kilometres throughout September by walking, running, leading or riding. Set yourself a goal, get some friends involved and see where those little legs can take you.

Because small horses shouldn’t just be cute lawnmowers. 😂 They can be brilliant adventure companions too.

And there’s an even bigger reason to join us.

Your participation supports Born to Run Adventure Racing Charitable Trust and our work rescuing small horses in need, while helping us spread the message that exercise, enrichment and an active life are important parts of good equine welfare.

Have fun. Get fit. Help little horses.

Sounds like a pretty good reason to get moving. 🐴❤️

And now it’s time for our September Challenge!

For those of us in the southern hemisphere, September brings the arrival of spring and while we love seeing the days get longer and everything coming back to life, it can also be a particularly tricky time for our little equines, especially those prone to laminitis.

That makes this a great time to focus on MOVEMENT and fitness, while making sure you always take horse, pony, mini or donkey’s needs into consideration.

Whether you run or walk, the Virtual Event gives you the opportunity to get moving alongside your equine partner from anywhere in the world, come join us for a month of activity your mini will love you for it! It’s not just about the km/ miles but the regular, suitable movement that becomes a wonderful part of supporting the wellbeing and welfare of your equine athlete.

Take on one challenge or go all in and complete all throughout the year! There’s even a discount when you sign up for the full series.

Whether your goal is fitness, motivation, bonding with your equine or simply having some fun together this challenge is for every equine and every level.

Here is a rare opportunity to have a special part of the Born to Run Racing team in your paddock.

Hemi, this year's 50 km Great Northern Gallop winner, is now available for adoption. He has been a solid part of the racing team for a few years but it's time for him to find his forever home and so we can make space for some newcommers in need.

He is a really well-mannered guy and has been competed by many different people in his time with us. He's as happy to jog as he is to walk quietly with someone. He's safe to be handled by children, and has perfect ground manners. He's pulled a cart and is used to doing all sorts of difffernt activities with us. Jumping, obstacles, traffic, ocean and everything else, he is a calm, sensible fellow and always willing to give everything a go.

Hemi would suit a home where he can be loved and have the attention he deserves. He doesn't really suit being part of a big herd, but another horsey friend plus lots of human tlc would be perfect.

He's a great pony for the whole family, can either go for walks or runs with adults, or adventures with kids. We'd love to see him at future events and maybe to defend his title next year too.

No health issues, though we can't age him accurately with his history a little unknown; we think he's about 15 years old, so still plenty of good years ahead. No health issues or laminitis. Like all minis, he does need a life where he can stay fit and active and have regular hoof care. But in return you'll get the most stoic, good-natured adventure companion

We are happy to advise on horse management if you are new to mini horse ownership, and you can check out some of our races at Born to Run Adventure Racing

You can find out more about him on Trademe or by sending us a message.
