West Somerset Riding Club is a friendly, active BRC Affiliated Club which has been in existence for more than 40 years. We have a membership comprising Seniors, Juniors (age 10-17) and Non-Riding Members.
Our membership is drawn from a large area ranging from Oare in the West to Kilve in the East and from Minehead in the North to Dulverton in the South. Most of the Exmoor National Park also lies within the West Somerset Riding Club Area.
We aim to encourage members of all ages and abilities, in all riding club disciplines, and try to offer something for everyone. Our members represent us at grassroots events as well as at BRC Area 12 & National Levels.
Our comprehensive training programme is at the heart of our activities, with jumping and flatwork clinics held at least fortnightly throughout the year, as well as cross country training at local venues. The club has its own set of Jump 4 Joy show jumps and dressage arena boards which are used for training as well as for competitions.
This year ,in addition ,we plan to run an open to all dressage league ( Intro, Prelim & Novice Tests) with perpetual trophies for WSRC winners in each class and some of the proceeds going to support St Margaret’s Hospice and a SJ training competition league. Also, “Dressage for Life” is back ! Intro, Walk and Trot Pairs, Prelim and Novice level tests . ” Pink Dressage” is your chance to help fundraise for CRUK and compete in pink !
More details of these and all our training opportunities can be found on the West Somerset Riding Club Face Book page, which is updated regularly.
There are also opportunities to take part in endurance riding, pleasure rides and horsey socials whenever we can fit them in.
The club is run by a cheerful and approachable (we hope!) committee, and we are always keen to hear your ideas for events and socials.
We look forward to meeting you!
This year the West Somerset Riding Club will be aiming to support the following charities:
St Margaret’s Hospice – Making each day count
Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance – A registered charity, established to provide relief from sickness and injury for the people of Dorset and Somerset, by the provision of an air ambulance.
Devon Air Ambulance – With the support of people like you, we save hundreds of lives per year
