The Premium Feature That Changes Everything – Dedicated Events Page + Membership Pricing Toggle

The Premium Horse Riding WordPress Theme is the only equestrian WordPress theme that combines two features no competing horse riding template includes together:

Dedicated Events Page

A full standalone Events page – accessible from the main navigation – for listing upcoming tournaments, training clinics, open days, junior competitions, and seasonal events with date, time, and “Book Your Spot” CTA for each entry.

For equestrian businesses that run regular events, a dedicated events calendar page is the most important page on the entire website. Riders and parents search for upcoming competitions and clinics before they enquire about lessons – and this is the only horse riding WordPress theme with a standalone events page built in.

Monthly / Yearly Membership Pricing Toggle

A sophisticated pricing section with a billing period toggle – visitors switch between monthly and annual rates in a single click. Add a “Get 30% Off Annual Plans” promotional banner to drive membership upsells. Populate with 3 distinct membership tiers (Starter, Rider, and Platinum) each with unique course access levels, coaching inclusions, and event privileges.

Most competing equestrian themes show a flat static pricing table. This theme shows a live, interactive pricing toggle – the most effective membership conversion tool available in any WordPress theme for riding schools.

These two features together – a dedicated Events page and a membership pricing toggle – are exclusive to the Premium Horse Riding WordPress Theme. No free equestrian theme includes either.

10+ Pre-Built Pages Ready to Launch

The premium version includes 6 fully designed, demo-content-loaded pages your equestrian business needs:

Homepage – Full conversion layout with hero, feature strip, events preview, about, courses, membership pricing, benefits, testimonials, blog, booking CTA, and Instagram gallery
About Us Page – Academy legacy story, 25+ years experience, team credentials, facilities, and award recognition
Events Page – Dedicated upcoming events calendar for tournaments, clinics, open days, and competitions – the only StrivioThemes equestrian demo with a full standalone events page
Services Page – Expanded individual riding program and course descriptions
Blog Page – Equestrian article listings for riding tips, horse care guides, and event coverage
Contact Us Page – Session booking form, phone, email, stable address, and location

With the free version, you get 2 sections on 1 page. With the premium version, your complete equestrian business website – including a working events calendar and membership pricing system – is ready to customize and launch in hours.
