About the club

Please bear with us while this website is being updated …..

West Somerset Riding Club is a friendly, active BRC Affiliated Club which has been in existence since the early 1970’s.  We have a membership comprising Senior, Junior (age 12-17) and Non-Riding / Social 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 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 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 ,we plan to re-introduce our 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 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 cancer charities 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 and regular monthly newsletters are sent to all members.

There are also opportunities to take part in other activities and socials, when we can fit them in.  Some of these are for Members only so please do consider joining us to fully benefit from all we offer.

The club is run by a cheerful and approachable (we hope!) committee, and we are always keen to receive your feedback and ideas.  We look forward to meeting you in 2024.

There is a new BRC online platform britishridingclubs.Sport80.com to join.   Also, new for 2024 is a money off “voucher” towards training or an event which will be made available to anyone who joins WSRC before end April 2024.
