Inside Rein Member FAQs

What is Inside Rein?

Inside Rein is Horse Rookie's premium email subscription program that delivers member-only horse care, mindset, training, riding, and budgeting content straight to your inbox every week!

Why is there a paid subscription?

Equestrians crave a trusted alternative to searching Reddit, combing through random online reviews, fact-checking Google AI-generated overviews, and wasting time digging for reliable advice.

Inside Rein offers exclusive, curated content developed by our team of real-world equestrians with deep, personal experience.

This subscription program also financial supports our equestrian writing team—the same team that provided 900+ website articles for FREE from 2018-2024.

Google’s recent algorithm updates have made our original business model unsustainable, so we’re pivoting to to Inside Rein. This program will reward our most loyal readers, remain accessibly-priced for all equestrians, and help keep the lights on here at Horse Rookie for years to come.

What’s included in the paid membership?

Inside Rein members gain access to:

• The Rider's Wallet: How I Spent $82,000 on Horses in Four Years. This real-life case study analyzes our Founder’s personal horse expenses down to the dollar. This is the first case study of its kind and lays it ALL out there—from budgets to vet bills to the cost of horse buying.

• New Horse Rookie articles that will ONLY be available to paid subscribers.

• Weekly AD-FREE dispatches with behind-the-scenes spending reports, cost-saving strategies and discounts, mindset tools, and a monthly email course.

• Ten of our most popular articles—on topics like budgeting, training tips, and gear reviews—moved behind the Inside Rein paywall each month.

How much does it cost?

Accessibility is an acute challenge in the equestrian world, and we want Inside Rein to be affordable for all riders.

EARLY BIRD RATES (UNTIL DEC 31, 2024)

• Monthly Membership: $5/month

• Annual Membership: $50/year (save 17%)

2025 RATES (AFTER JAN 1, 2025)

• Monthly Membership: $10/month

• Annual Membership: $100/year (save 17%)

What happens to the free content?

The Horse Rookie site isn’t going away soon, so you’ll still be able to read many of our old articles there for free. Unpaid subscribers will receive a monthly email newsletter.

That said, we’re moving 10 of our most popular articles behind the Inside Rein paywall each month. New content will also ONLY be available to Inside Rein members.

Inside Rein subscribers receive weekly content you can’t get anywhere else—including behind-the-scenes budgeting case studies, exclusive discounts, email courses, exclusive downloads, and more!

Can I cancel anytime?

Absolutely! You can cancel your subscription at any time through your Beehiiv account, and you’ll retain Inside Rein access until the end of your billing cycle.

How is my payment processed?

All payments are securely processed through Beehiiv’s trusted payment systems Stripe and Apple Pay.

How often will I receive emails?

Inside Rein members receive a weekly email with premium content, along with the occasional updates for special events or announcements. Unpaid subscribers hear from us monthly, along with periodic marketing messages.
