Rallies

We run regular mounted rallies on all disciplines including polework, flatwork, cross country and jumping, and unmounted rallies where members can work towards badges and tests

Rallies are held with a variety of instructors for breadth of learning, and at different venues around the area to aid access for all

See calendar for upcoming rallies and events, and the rallies page for guidance on attendance and conduct

Camp

We run two camps each year; a residential camp during the Easter school holidays and a non residential one over the Summer.

All members are welcome to attend the non residential camp, while the residential one is open for all members over the age of 10 and able to ride off the lead rein.
