One of the longest-established Riding Clubs in the UK (believed second only to Rugby's 70? years, but please tell us if you know otherwise !) which has evolved from a small Members Club to become a premier competition centre with excellent facilities catering for all disciplines at all levels from grass-roots to professional, centred around one of the largest indoor riding arenas in the country. The Riding Club is a charitably constituted non-profit voluntary Members' Club in BHS Area 5 affiliated to the British Riding Clubs, British Dressage, British Eventing, British Show Jumping Association and is also a Kennel Club registered venue, managed by a Committee of volunteers who rely heavily on the voluntary assistance of members for stewarding at events.
