NFED into 2026 – Happy New Year!
When we first launched the NFED back in 1999, I never dreamed I’d still be running it in 2026 — now officially as a pensioner, no less! I may be older on paper, but I don’t feel it, and we’re still out riding, so the adventure continues.
What amazes me most is that, even with the explosion of social media groups and countless online alternatives, the NFED is still going strong. That tells us something important: there’s still a real appetite for an independent, community‑focused resource that isn’t driven by outside advertising or algorithms.
As long as the site is useful, pays its way, and I have the time to keep it running, the NFED will continue as the hobby business it’s always been. If any of that changes, I’ll review things — but right now, we’re full steam ahead.
If you value this unique platform, please keep using it, share it with others, and help spread the word. And if you run an equestrian or countryside business or offer services, adding your listing to the Services Directory really does make a difference.
Together, we can keep this trusted, independent resource thriving well into the future.
Wishing you all a very Happy New Year — here’s to a fantastic 2026!
