About

Haynet is all about telling stories from the stables, kennels to the fields. If you love living in the country, riding your horses, farming your fields, walking your dogs over the hills – then this is the site for you!

Haynet started as a small blogging network in 2011 with the vision of listing equestrian blogs under one stable roof. The network expanded considerably over the next few years with writers posting their horse stories from all over the world. In September 2016 with Haynet celebrating five years online, it was relaunched with a new colour branding and expanded the audience out to countryside and farming matters.

In September 2017, Haynet relocated to a new platform concentrating on providing readers with creative and engaging content for the rural audience. Together with the success of hosting the Countryside Blogger of the Year Awards, its new style Bloggers Directory showcased quality blog writing enabling the reader to read the latest posts and follow the large range of rural blogs that are listed.

Owner Samantha Hobden is also a qualified dog groomer specialising in her work with working dogs, terriers and their crossbreeds. She works within the industry helping newly qualified groomers build their brand and how to showcase their business through the fast moving world of social media.

Haynet celebrated in 2021 ten years in the industry with a new fresh branding designed by Black & White Digital. This popular blog has gone back to its rural roots bringing all the news and views from the countryside. Haynet showcases guest posts with featured bloggers and rural businesses that write engaging content for our large audience.

So please take a look around our website and come and follow our social media channels too. Samantha also works with rural businesses helping them make an impact in social media.  If you have any questions or would like to work with Sam in some way, then she would love to hear from you!
