Meshi WordPress Theme is a feature-rich Equestrian & Horse Riding WordPress theme built on Bootstrap 5, fully compatible with WordPress 6.x with full WooCommerce integration. It ships with 14 page templates, a filterable riding-gear gallery, a full e-commerce module with cart and checkout, a blog module — all controlled from the WordPress admin and Customizer with zero coding required.

Built for WordPress developers, freelancers, and site owners delivering equestrian centre and horse riding academy websites. The theme follows WordPress coding standards throughout: template hierarchy, action and filter hooks, wp_enqueue_scripts for all assets, and a child-theme-ready structure. Every visible element is customisable via the Customizer live preview — no page builder plugin dependency required.
