The Challenge
Acquired by Pets at Home, Ride-Away was established in 1980 and has established an enviable reputation as a leading supplier of equestrian equipment and country clothing. With riding and everything to do with equestrian pursuits having seen a massive resurgence in popularity recently, the company has grown rapidly, employing a team of over 40 staff. Now a household name in equestrian shopping throughout the world, Ride-Away attracts orders from customers worldwide.

Mobile Optimisation
The company has seen a spike in mobile traffic in recent years, designing and developing a mobile optimised solution was a large part of the project brief.
