These changes reduce the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
Research indicates that riders spend an average of £5000 equipping themselves to take up trail riding, estimated 10,000 UK riders equates to £50 million.
UK trail riders spend approximately £8.5 million per year on consumable items and insurance.
