Upcoming Events......

Working Equitation Clinics @ Kentisbeare House Arena.  Teaching in pairs, book through the MRL page, times nearer the date.

Working Equitation is a real test of the horses temperament and training, the riders skill and ability and of course the relationship between horse and rider combining dressage with obstacles. Working Equitation competitions usually include 3 phases.

 The Riding Club Committee really want you to enjoy and get the most out of your training session but in the most safe and stress-free way. We respectfully ask all attendees to abide by the following guidelines in their session: - 

  • There may be several vehicles/horseboxes in the parking area. Please be mindful of horses, pedestrians and other parked vehicles when driving and manoeuvring. Please also ensure the gate is closed and where necessary locked.
  • All riders to wear appropriate footwear. Body protectors (where worn) and hats should be to current standards. It is your responsibility to check. If you plan to wear an air jacket whilst mounted, please advise us (session organiser or instructor) in advance, so that riders of nervous or young horses may be made aware, (deployment may startle horses).
  • Junior members (under 18) must be accompanied by a responsible adult at all times.
